Brief Summary: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of combination chemotherapy followed by rituximab or observation in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV low-grade non-Hodgkins lymphoma Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy with or without rituximab is more effective for non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

I To compare the response rate time to progression time to treatment failure and survival for patients with low grade lymphoma treated with the cyclophosphamide - fludarabine regimen with a control arm consisting of standard treatment with CVP

II To determine the effect of maintenance with anti-CD20 IDEC C2B8 on time to progression time to treatment failure and survival and its effects on lymphocyte number subsets and quantitative immunoglobulin levels over time

OUTLINE This a two step stratified randomized study Patients are stratified for arms I and II step 1 by age under 60 vs 60 and over tumor burden high vs low histology follicular vs other and B symptoms present vs absent After arms I and II have been completed patients are stratified in arms III and IV step 2 by extent of residual disease minimal vs gross histology follicular vs other and initial tumor burden

ARM I CLOSED AS OF 92000 Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 30-45 minutes on day 1 and fludarabine IV over 10-20 minutes on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression for a minimum of 4 courses and a maximum of 6 courses

ARM II Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 30-45 minutes and vincristine IV on day 1 and oral prednisone on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression for a minimum of 6 courses and a maximum of 8 courses

After completion of therapy on arm I or II patients are randomized into step 2 of this study comprising arms III and IV

ARM III Patients receive maintenance therapy with rituximab IDEC-C2B8 monoclonal antibody IV weekly for 4 weeks Courses repeat every 6 months for 2 years Maintenance therapy begins 4 weeks after the last chemotherapy

ARM IV Patients undergo no maintenance therapy and are observed

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for the next 3 years and then annually thereafter
