Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells
PURPOSE Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of bryostatin 1 in treating patients who have relapsed non-Hodgkins lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Assess the efficacy of bryostatin 1 administered as a 72-hour infusion in patients with relapsed non-Hodgkins lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia II Gain information regarding the toxicity and tolerability of escalated vincristine doses given after each bryostatin 1 infusion in cohorts of patients who fail to respond to bryostatin alone III Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of bryostatin 1 in these patients IV Determine the duration of response and survival following treatment with bryostatin 1
OUTLINE All patients receive bryostatin 1 by 72-hour continuous infusion every 2 weeks until disease progression or until 2 courses beyond documentation of complete remission Response is assessed after every 4 courses Patients with disease progression who continue to meet the eligibility criteria receive vincristine within 2 hours after completion of each bryostatin 1 infusion Groups of 3-6 patients receive escalated doses of vincristine until the maximum tolerated dose with bryostatin 1 is determined Courses repeat every 2 weeks as above no individual dose escalation is allowed No concurrent steroids are permitted Patients are followed for survival
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 25 evaluable patients with low-grade NHL or CLL will be entered over approximately 20 months if there are 2-4 responses in the first 15 patients A total of 20 evaluable patients with intermediate- or high-grade NHL will be entered over approximately 2 years if there are 1 or 2 responses in the first 10 patients
