Official title
Phase II Trial of Rituximab and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Refractory B Cell Large Cell Lymphoma
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
RATIONALE: Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, and chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, helps stem cells move from the patient's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored for peripheral stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy, such as carmustine, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide, before transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. More rituximab is given after transplant to kill any remaining cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide and G-CSF followed by combination chemotherapy works in treating patients undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant followed by rituximab and GM-CSF for refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
