PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with lomustine etoposide cyclophosphamide and procarbazine in treating patients with stage IIB stage III or stage IV AIDS-related Hodgkins disease
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the objective response rate response duration and survival of patients receiving lomustineetoposidecyclophosphamideprocarbazine CECP for stage IIB-IV AIDS-related Hodgkins disease Assess the feasibility and toxic effects of CECP in this patient population
OUTLINE Patients receive oral lomustine on day 1 oral etoposide on days 1-3 and oral cyclophosphamide and procarbazine on days 22-31 Filgrastim granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is given subcutaneously on days 5-21 and 33-42 The course is repeated every 6 weeks
Patients with a complete or partial response after 1 course of treatment receive two additional courses but lomustine is omitted in the second course Patients with partial response or stable disease receive radiation therapy andor continued chemotherapy Patients failing to respond after 1 course are removed from the study
Patients will be followed every 3 months until death
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A minimum of 16 evaluable patients will be accrued
