Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the response rate and toxicity of the association R-CHOP with two schedules of administration of Velcade in B-cell CD 20 lymphoma patients aged from 18 to 80 years

The goal is to get a response rate at least at what observed with R-CHOP alone and will be evaluates with a sequential test

The other objective is to evaluate the toxicity
Detailed Description: The association of the monoclonal antibody Rituximab to chemotherapy regimen of B-cell lymphoma is associated with an increase response rate and event free survival when compared to chemotherapy alone Coiffier et al NEJM 2002 It has been observed in almost all histological type of B-cell lymphomas No significant increase of toxicity was observed especially in the most used regimen CHOP and the association R-CHOP is a standard for most B-cell malignancies CD20 positive

However in patients with diffuse large cell lymphoma progress should be made as the complete response rate is below 75 in most situation and in low grade lymphoma although patients respond well to chemotherapy complete remission rate averaged generally 50 Marcus et al 2003 Czuczman et al 1999

There is a need to improve this association with new innovative agent Before running randomized study it is important to evaluate the like hood of getting improvement by phase 2 study testing tolerance and efficacy on a well established regimen

Bortezomib Velcade formerly PS 341 is a proteasome inhibitor which has shown promising activity in the treatment of refractory myeloma As single agent in indolent lymphomas administered twice per weeks for 2 weeks followed by one week rest period it has already showed activity in phase 2 study It is well tolerated and main toxicity was neuropathy and thrombocytopenia

Proteasome inhibitors can act through multiple mechanisms to arrest tumor growth tumor spread and angiogenesis In vitro studies have shown a synergistic effect of the association of Velcade and doxorubicin on myeloma cell lines resistant to chemotherapy

Association of Velcade to standard chemotherapy regimen is under study with the aim of improving on the results

Association of Velcade to one of the most efficient treatment of B-cell lymphoma R-CHOP might increase the response rate

However different schedules should be explored in order to better appreciate efficacy and toxicity

This randomized phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the response rate and the toxicity of two schedules of administration of Velcade in association with R-CHOP The aim of the study is to establish a well tolerated regimen giving a response rate in the limit upperlower of what is observed with conventional R-CHOP used in all the different histological subtypes of B cell lymphomas patients requiring treatment

The heterogeneity of the population will preclude any meaningful subgroup analysis

It is important to evaluate tolerability before exploring the efficacy of this new regimen in large randomized studies or in specific phases II study which will need 50 patients for each subgroup of patients
