RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, etoposide, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, 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 more chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, carmustine, and etoposide, and total-body irradiation prepares the patient's bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy and radiation therapy. More radiation therapy is given after transplant to kill any remaining cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well autologous peripheral stem cell transplant works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: NHL with irradiation
Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma patients treated with cyclophosphamide, total body irradiation therapy, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and G-CSF.
|
Drug: cyclophosphamide
NHL with radiation: Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg intravenous (IV) over two hours daily x 2 days. HL without radiation: Cyclophosphamide, Days - 6 through -3, 1.5 gm/m^2 over 2 hours daily x 4 days. Cyclophosphamide will be dosed based on actual body weight (ABW) unless the patient is 20% or more of ideal body weight (IBW). If more than 20% of ideal body weight, an adjusted ideal body weight (AIBW) will be used for dosing. Other Name: Cytoxan
Procedure: peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
Day 0 infuse PBSC. All patients will have PBSC collected by leukapheresis. Mobilization will be done with G-CSF alone (filgrastim) or using ifosfamide/carboplatin/etoposide and with or without rituximab. Leukapheresis is to begin on Day 5.
Other Name: PBSC
Radiation: irradiation therapy
Patients undergo total body irradiation (TBI) twice daily on days -4 to -1.
Day 5: Begin G-CSF 5μg/kg/day subcutaneously (SQ) rounded to the nearest vial size. Continue G-CSF until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1500/μl x 3 consecutive days. If ANC falls <1000/μL, restart G-CSF. Other Name: filgrastim
|
Experimental: HL without irradiation
Patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with cyclosphosphamide, carmustine, etoposide, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and G-CSF.
|
Drug: carmustine
Day -6, 300 mg/m^2 over 2 hour
Other Name: BNCU
Drug: cyclophosphamide
NHL with radiation: Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg intravenous (IV) over two hours daily x 2 days. HL without radiation: Cyclophosphamide, Days - 6 through -3, 1.5 gm/m^2 over 2 hours daily x 4 days. Cyclophosphamide will be dosed based on actual body weight (ABW) unless the patient is 20% or more of ideal body weight (IBW). If more than 20% of ideal body weight, an adjusted ideal body weight (AIBW) will be used for dosing. Other Name: Cytoxan
Drug: etoposide
NHL without radiation and cyclophosphamide: Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours twice daily on Day -5 through -2. HL without radiation: 150 mg/m^2 intravenously over 4 hours every 12 hours for 6 total doses on Days -6 through -4. Other Name: VP-16
Procedure: peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
Day 0 infuse PBSC. All patients will have PBSC collected by leukapheresis. Mobilization will be done with G-CSF alone (filgrastim) or using ifosfamide/carboplatin/etoposide and with or without rituximab. Leukapheresis is to begin on Day 5.
Other Name: PBSC
Biological: G-CSF
Day 5: Begin G-CSF 5μg/kg/day subcutaneously (SQ) rounded to the nearest vial size. Continue G-CSF until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1500/μl x 3 consecutive days. If ANC falls <1000/μL, restart G-CSF. Other Name: filgrastim
|
Experimental: NHL without radiation and cyclosporine
Patients with non Hodgkin's lymphoma ineligible to receive total body irradiation because of prior radiation and are not candidates for high dose cyclophosphamide will be treated with carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and G-CSF (called BEAM conditioning).

Drug: carmustine
Day -6, 300 mg/m^2 over 2 hour
Other Name: BNCU
Drug: etoposide
NHL without radiation and cyclophosphamide: Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours twice daily on Day -5 through -2. HL without radiation: 150 mg/m^2 intravenously over 4 hours every 12 hours for 6 total doses on Days -6 through -4. Other Name: VP-16
