Chemotherapy, Hyper-CVAD portion (cycles 1, 3, 5, 7; "Part A")

  • Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) 300 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours every 12 hours on days 2 to 4, given second (total dose per cycle: 1800 mg/m2)
  • Vincristine (Oncovin) 1.4 mg/m2 (maximum dose of 2 mg) IV once per day on days 5 & 12, given 12 hours after the last dose of cyclophosphamide on day 5
  • Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) 16.6 to 16.7 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion over 72 hours, started on day 5 (total dose per cycle: 49.8 to 50.1 mg/m2)

Glucocorticoid therapy, Hyper-CVAD portion (cycles 1, 3, 5, 7; "Part A")

  • Mesna (Mesnex) 600 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion over 76 hours, started on day 2, 1 hour prior to cyclophosphamide and completed 12 hours after the last dose of cyclophosphamide
      • "Over 76 hours" is not exactly specified in Romaguera et al. 2005; Wang et al. 2008. It is based on the assumption that "completed 12 hours after the last dose of cyclophosphamide" means that it would finish 12 hours after the last dose of cyclophosphamide completes.

Chemotherapy, MA portion (cycles 2, 4, 6, 8, "Part B")

  • Methotrexate (MTX) by the following laboratory-based criteria:
    • Patients with creatinine up to 1.5 mg/dL: 200 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours once on day 2, then 800 mg/m2 IV over 22 hours (total dose per cycle: 1000 mg/m2)
    • Patients with creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL: 100 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours once on day 2, then 400 mg/m2 IV over 22 hours (total dose per cycle: 500 mg/m2)
      • Urine alkalinized to pH of 6.8 or more prior to the start of methotrexate and kept within that range until methotrexate is cleared
  • Cytarabine (Ara-C) by the following age- and laboratory-based criteria:
    • Patients up to age 60 and with creatinine up to 1.5 mg/dL: 3000 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours every 12 hours on days 3 & 4 (total dose per cycle: 12,000 mg/m2)
    • Patients older than 60 or with creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL: 1000 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours every 12 hours on days 3 & 4 (total dose per cycle: 4000 mg/m2)

Supportive therapy, MA portion (cycles 2, 4, 6, 8, "Part B")

  • Folinic acid (Leucovorin) 50 mg PO once on day 3, 12 hours after methotrexate is complete, then 15 mg PO every 6 hours for 8 doses. If serum methotrexate level at 24 hours is greater than 1000 nmol/L or at 48 hours is greater than 100 nmol/L, dose is increased to 100 mg IV Q3H.
  • Prednisolone 1% ophthalmic solution 2 drops in each eye four times per day on days 3 to 9 was started on the day of the start of cytarabine infusion and was continued for 7 days to prevent chemical conjunctivitis.

Supportive therapy, all cycles

All growth factors and antibiotics given for 10 days, starting 24 to 36 hours after doxorubicin infusion is complete in A cycles and not specified in B cycles

21-day cycle for 8 cycles

Investigational agents

These are drugs under study with at least some promising results for this disease.

Prognosis

Mantle cell lymphoma international prognostic index (MIPI)

Calculation generally require a calculator. The MIPI is calculated using the following formula: [0.03535 × age (in years)] + 0.6978 (if ECOG PS greater than 1) + [1.367 × log10(LDH/ULN)] + [0.9393 × log10(white cells per uL blood)]. Risk factors include:

  • Age
  • ECOG Performance Status
  • Serum LDH level (note that reference ranges can vary widely!)
  • Number of nodal sites
  • WBC count

Risk stratification:

  • Less than 5.7 points: Low risk
  • 5.7 to less than 6.2 points: Intermediate risk
  • Greater than or equal to 6.2 points: High risk
