Purpose
The primary goal of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) of Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in combination with CHOP-R on diffuse Large B cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLBCL). The standard of care for DLBCL is the combination of drugs known as CHOP-Rituximab (CHOP-R). The drugs that make up CHOP-R are the chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and vincristine, prednisone and rituximab. GM-CSF is a drug that stimulates the immune system by increasing the numbers of white blood cells. Previous research has shown that GM-CSF might help rituximab to be more effective in treating lymphoma.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- To determine the safety of GM-CSF when administered in combination with CHOP-R to patients with previously untreated diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To assess the response rate, 2-year event-free survival and overall survival with CM-CSF and CHOP-R in this patient population [ Time Frame: TBD ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- to analyze the biologic activity of GM-CSF at this dosing schedule and timing. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:
- Study treatment is divided into 21-day time periods called cycles. Almost all participants will be treated as outpatients unless they have an existing medical problem that requires them to be treated as in inpatient.
- The drugs used in this study treatment are standard of care for this type of lymphoma and participants could receive these even if they are not taking part in the study.
- Participants will start receiving GM-CSF 11 days before Day 1 of Cycle 1 for 10 days. They will receive the first dose of GM-CSF at the clinic. At least 1 1/2 days after the last GM-CSF injection (Day 1), they will receive chemotherapy (CHOP-R). Eleven days before they start the next cycle (Days 11-20), they will again start to receive GM-CSF injections for 10 days.
- Participants will receive up to 6 cycles of study treatment if their disease is responding and they are tolerating the study treatment.
- Additional medications may be given to prevent lung infection, return of brain and nervous system disease and tumor lysis syndrome.
- Before beginning GM-CSF during each cycle of treatment blood will be drawn to monitor the participants health and to check for side effects.
- On Day 1 of each cycle a physical examination and blood tests will be performed. On Day 7 and Day 14 of each cycle, routine blood tests will also be done.
- After Cycle 2 and 4 CT scans of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis will be performed to check the status of the participants disease.
- After 6 cycles of study treatment, the participant will return to the clinic for an End of Treatment Visit. At this visit a physical exam, routine blood tests, and CT scan of neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis will be performed.
- The participant will be asked to return to the clinic every 3 months for the first year after study treatment and every 6 months up to 2 years after study treatment for the procedures outline in the End of Treatment Visit.
