Rituxan and BEAM With Autologous Peripheral Blood Progenitor Transplant for Indolent Lymphoma

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Lymphoma
Interventions
Procedure: Autologous stem cell transplant
Registration Number
NCT00572013
Lead Sponsor
University of Nebraska
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.
