Lenalidomide can be safely combined with R-CHOP (R2CHOP) in the initial chemotherapy for aggressive B-cell lymphomas: phase I study.
Summary of "Lenalidomide can be safely combined with R-CHOP (R2CHOP) in the initial chemotherapy for aggressive B-cell lymphomas: phase I study."
Lenalidomide was shown to have significant single-agent activity in relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We conducted a phase I trial to establish the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide that could be combined with R-CHOP (rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). Eligible patients were adults with newly diagnosed, untreated CD20 positive diffuse large cell or follicular grade III NHL. Patients received oral lenalidomide on days 1-10 with standard dose R-CHOP every 21 days. All patients received pegfilgrastim on day 2 of the cycle and aspirin prophylaxis. The lenalidomide dose levels tested were 15, 20 and 25 mg. A total of 24 patients were enrolled. The median age was 65 (35-82) years and 54% were over 60 years. Three patients received 15 mg, 3 received 20 mg and 18 received 25 mg of lenalidomide. No dose limiting toxicity was found, and 25 mg on days 1-10 is the recommended dose for phase II. The incidence of grade IV neutropenia and thrombocytopenia was 67% and 21%, respectively. Febrile neutropenia was rare (4%) and there were no toxic deaths. The overall response rate was 100% with a complete response rate of 77%. Lenalidomide at the dose of 25 mg/day administered on days 1 to 10 of 21-day cycle can be safely combined with R-CHOP in the initial chemotherapy of aggressive B-cell lymphoma.Leukemia advance online publication, 1 July 2011; doi:10.1038/leu.2011.165.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Vindesine
Vinblastine derivative with antineoplastic activity against CANCER. Major side effects are myelosuppression and neurotoxicity. Vindesine is used extensively in chemotherapy protocols (ANTINEOPLASTIC COMBINED CHEMOTHERAPY PROTOCOLS).
Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols
The use of two or more chemicals simultaneously or sequentially in the drug therapy of neoplasms. The drugs need not be in the same dosage form.
Salvage Therapy
A therapeutic approach, involving chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery, after initial regimens have failed to lead to improvement in a patient's condition. Salvage therapy is most often used for neoplastic diseases.
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
Group of rare congenital disorders characterized by impairment of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity, leukopenia, and low or absent antibody levels. It is inherited as an X-linked or autosomal recessive defect. Mutations occurring in many different genes cause human Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID).
Chemotherapy, Adjuvant
Drug therapy given to augment or stimulate some other form of treatment such as surgery or radiation therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is commonly used in the therapy of cancer and can be administered before or after the primary treatment.
