Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given with chemotherapy to treat patients with MYC-associated B-cell lymphomas. Lenalidomide works by blocking growth of new blood vessels and enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemo drugs work in different ways to stop cancer cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies may also block cancer growth.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (lenalidomide, DA-EPOCH-R)Experimental Treatment9 Interventions
INDUCTION PHASE: Patients receive lenalidomide PO daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. DA-EPOCH-R: Patients receive etoposide IV continuously on days 1-4, prednisone PO BID on days 1-5, vincristine sulfate IV continuously on days 1-4, doxorubicin hydrochloride IV continuously on days 1-4, cyclophosphamide IV over 15 minutes on day 5, and rituximab IV over 4 hours on day 1 (per institutional guidelines). Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONSOLIDATION PHASE: Patients who are transplantation (HSCT)-eligible receive BEAM-conditioning regimen followed by autologous (auto)-HSCT or HSCT at the discretion of the treating physician. Patients who do not undergo HSCT in first remission receive lenalidomide maintenance for 12 months.
