Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (DA-EPOCH and ofatumumab or rituximab)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patients receive DA-EPOCH regimen comprising doxorubicin hydrochloride IV, vincristine sulfate IV, and etoposide IV continuously over 96 hours on days 1-4; cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on day 5; and prednisone PO BID on days 1-5. Patients also receive ofatumumab IV over 2 hours on days 1, 2, and 11 of cycle 1; on days 1 and 8 of cycles 2 and 4; and on days 1 and 11 of cycle 3 for a total of 9 injections. Patients may receive rituximab instead of ofatumumab if their insurance provider does not cover the cost of ofatumumab. Patients receive rituximab IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 11 of cycles 1 and 3 and on days 2 and 8 of cycles 2 and 4. Treatment repeats every 21-28 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
