Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, travels to or professional assistance by using a genuine doctor. We aren't mDs. Always consult your physician about Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma Clinical research trials and Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma health trials occur in a lot of of cities throughout the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the potency of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to figure out specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to locate treatments for all sorts of conditions, including Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma. Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to get medical treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Many times the test subjects get professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare possible for their Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, medical hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma



Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide or Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Sodium Thiosulfate and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Primary CNS Lymphoma

For Condition: intraocular lymphoma,Thrombocytopenia,Drug Toxicity,primary central nervous system lymphoma
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Oregon Health and Science University , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, etoposide phosphate, and cytarabine, use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption uses certain drugs to open the blood vessels around the brain and allow anticancer substances to be delivered directly to the brain. Chemoprotective drugs such as sodium thiosulfate may protect normal cells from the side effects of carboplatin-based chemotherapy. Combining rituximab with chemotherapy given with osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption plus sodium thiosulfate may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining rituximab with combination chemotherapy given with osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption plus sodium thiosulfate in treating patients who have refractory or recurrentprimary CNS lymphoma.
Details: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the efficacy of rituximab, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide or etoposide phosphate administered in conjunction with osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption and high-dose sodium thiosulfate and cytarabine, in terms of complete response rate, in patients with refractory or recurrent primary CNS lymphoma. Secondary - Determine the overall survival and 2-year progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the quality of life and cognitive function of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the neurotoxicity of this regimen in these patients. - Determine the percentage of patients with ototoxicity over time after treatment with this regimen. - Determine the effect of delayed administration of sodium thiosulfate on granulocyte and erythrocyte counts in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive rituximab IV on day 1. On days 2 and 3, patients receive carboplatin intra-arterially over 10 minutes, cyclophosphamide IV over 10 minutes, and etoposide or etoposide phosphate IV over 10 minutes in conjunction with blood-brain barrier disruption. Patients also receive high-dose sodium thiosulfate IV over 15 minutes administered 4 and 8 hours after carboplatin on days 2 and 3 and intraventricular or intrathecal cytarabine on day 14. Beginning 48 hours after the last dose of chemotherapy, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF)* subcutaneously (SC) daily for 7-10 days or until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 12 courses. NOTE: * Alternatively, patients may receive a single dose of pegfilgrastim SC, administered 48 hours after the completion of chemotherapy Patients with intraocular lymphoma also receive methotrexate intravitreally twice weekly until the vitreous is clear of cells by slit lamp exam; once weekly for 1 month; and then monthly for 1 year. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, every 3 months during treatment, at 30 days, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter. Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 2 months for 8 months, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 11-25 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-3 years.
