PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining lomustine etoposide cyclophosphamide and procarbazine in treating patients who have AIDS-related non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the objective response rate response duration and survival of patients with AIDS-related non-Hodgkins lymphoma treated with lomustine etoposide cyclophosphamide and procarbazine Determine the feasibility of this regimen in these patients Determine the clinical toxicity of this regimen in these patients Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen Determine the impact of this regimen on the underlying HIV infection in these patients
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients receive oral lomustine on day 1 course 1 only oral etoposide on days 1-3 and oral cyclophosphamide and oral procarbazine on days 22-26 Patients may also receive filgrastim G-CSF subcutaneously on days 5-21 and 28-42 Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Quality of life is assessed at baseline on days 1 and 22 of each course at day 84 and then every 3 months for 1 year
Patients are followed at day 84 and then every 3 months
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 66 patients 22 in the United States and 44 in Africa will be accrued for this study within 3-4 years
