Study Summary

This trial will evaluate a new combination chemotherapy regimen for mantle cell lymphoma, a cancer of white blood cells. The regimen includes the drugs prednisone, etoposide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and rituximab, with the addition of bortezomib. The trial will test whether adding bortezomib as "maintenance therapy" once chemotherapy is finished will lengthen the time before the disease relapses and improve the overall cure rate.
