History of Changes
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate:

  1. whether an imaging test called a PET (Positron emission tomography) scan performed after two cycles of standard chemotherapy is able to identify patients who have a high cure rate after completing standard chemotherapy alone; and
  2. whether high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) when used in combination with an antibody called Rituximab results in high cure rates for those patients predicted to do poorly with standard chemotherapy by the PET scan.

Estimated Enrollment: 80
Study Start Date: July 2007
Primary Completion Date: August 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Arm A
Standard R-CHOP chemotherapy every 21 days X 2 Cycles followed by PET/CT scan. If scan is determined negative for disease intensity patient receives 4 more cycles R-CHOP (total 6 cycles R-CHOP)
 Drug: R-CHOP (Rituximab, Cyclphosphamide, Etoposide, Cisplatin, Mesna, G-CSF
6 - 21 DAY Cycles of R-CHOP
Active Comparator: Arm B
Standard R-CHOP chemotherapy every 21 days X 2 Cycles followed by PET/CT scan. If scan is determined positive for disease intensity the patient receives one cycle or R-DICEP/R-BEAM the autologous blood stem cell transplantation.
 Procedure: Autologous Blood Stem Transplantation
2 CYCLES OF R-CHOP + R-DICEP/R-BEAM FOLLOWED BY AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION
