Regimen

Phase II

This was used as a salvage regimen for relapsed/refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma in patients who were planned for high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation.

Supportive medications:

Variable number of days between cycles depending on count recovery x 2 cycles Median time between cycle 1 and 2 was 16 days. The paper did not definitively specify what criteria needed to be fulfilled before cycle 2 was given. Baseline eligibility criteria for the study included WBC >3.5 x 10^3, Hb ≥8, platelets ≥100 x 10^3.

GVD

GVD: Gemcitabine, Vinorelbine, Doxil

Regimen

Phase II

Transplant-naive patients

Q21days x 2 to 6 cycles

Post-transplant patients

Q21days x 2 to 6 cycles

Dose levels: Note: These dose levels are listed primarily for historical purposes and were used in the trial while dose levels and dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) were being determined. The MTD dosages used above correspond to dose level 1 for transplant-naive patients and dose level -1 for post-transplant patients.

Dose modifications:

  • If on day 8, platelets are 50 to 100 or ANC 500 to 1000: reduce Gemcitabine (Gemzar) dose by 25% for that dose only.
  • If on day 8, platelets are <50 or ANC <500: No day 8 Gemcitabine (Gemzar) dose given.
  • Subsequent cycles would be given at full dose if patients had platelets ≥50 or ANC ≥1000.
  • If counts were not adequate, the next cycle can be delayed for up to 3 weeks until counts are adequate for treatment.
