Brief summary
To determine the response rate, complete and partial, of patients with indolent lymphoma receiving Rituxan and BEAM with autologous stem cell transplant.
Detailed description
Objectives: I. To determine the response rate, complete and partial, of patients with indolent lymphoma receiving Rituxan and BEAM with autologous stem cell transplant. II. To determine if the addition of Rituxan changes the toxicity profile attributed to high-dose BEAM chemotherapy. This protocol is a phase I/II trial combining the Rituxan as a pre and post-transplant agent to aid in the chemotherapy sensitization and the treatment of minimal residual disease post-transplant.
Interventions
375mg/m2 IV on days -20 to -8. Infusion to begin at rate of 50mg/hour for 1st hour.If no toxicity rate may be increased. A second infusion 375mg/m2 given 30days post transplant and again at 60 days post transplant
BCNU(carmustine)on day -6 300mg/M2 IV, etoposide 100mg/M2 BID on days -5 through -2, cytarabine 100mg/m2 BID on days -5 through -2, melphalan 140mg/m2 IV on day -1
following chemotherapy, on day 0 of treatment, the previously stored hematopoietic stem cells will be reinfused via the central venous line
