Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance with a genuine dr.. We are not doctors. Always consult your mD about Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Clinical research trials and Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma medical trials take place in many of places throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectiveness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the human subjects acquire professional assistance for free of charge, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma clinical trial. Test subjects typically obtain the finest healthcare available for their Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma condition. Dangers are a reality, nevertheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, medical dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma



Pegfilgrastim in Treating Neutropenia After Chemotherapy in Patients With Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

For Condition: Neutropenia,adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,adult diffuse large cell lymphoma,adult low grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Colony-stimulating factors such as pegfilgrastim may increase the number of immune system cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may be effective in preventing or controlling neutropenia caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Randomizedphase II trial to compare the effectiveness of two pegfilgrastim regimens in treating neutropenia after chemotherapy in patients who have mantle cell or diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Compare the safety and efficacy, as measured by the duration of grade 4 neutropenia, of two different schedules of pegfilgrastim administered 4 hours vs 24 hours after cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, and rituximab (R-CHOP) in patients with stage III or IV or bulky stage II mantle cell or diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma . - Compare response rates in patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the number of patients who receive all planned doses of this chemotherapy regimen on time when treated with two different schedules of pegfilgrastim. - Compare the hematologic and nonhematologic toxic effects of these regimens in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to lymphoma type (mantle cell vs diffuse large B-cell). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive R-CHOP chemotherapy comprising cyclophosphamide IV, doxorubicin IV, vincristine IV, and rituximab IV on day 1 and oral prednisone on days 1-5. Patients also receive pegfilgrastim subcutaneously (SC) on day 1 (within 4 hours after completion of R-CHOP) and placebo SC on day 2 (within 24 hours after completion of R-CHOP). - Arm II: Patients receive R-CHOP as in arm I. Patients also receive placebo SC on day 1 (within 4 hours after completion of R-CHOP) and pegfilgrastim SC on day 2 (within 24 hours after completion of R-CHOP). In both arms, treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 16-90 patients (8-45 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 6-20 months.
