Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells Bone marrow transplantation may allow doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy plus bone marrow transplantation in treating patients who have aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Assess the rate of remission in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma treated with high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy plus autologous bone marrow transplantation
Determine the efficacy and toxic effects of this regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized placebo-controlled multicenter study Patients are stratified according to risk group good vs intermediate vs poor

Patients undergo harvest of autologous bone marrow stem cells after priming chemotherapy and before transplantation

Patients receive induction chemotherapy comprising the CHOP or VAPEC-B regimen The CHOP regimen consists of vincristine VCR IV cyclophosphamide CTX IV and doxorubicin DOX IV on day 1 and oral prednisolone PRDL on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for six courses The VAPEC-B regimen consists of DOX IV on days 1 15 29 43 57 and 71 CTX IV on days 1 29 and 57 VCR IV on days 8 22 36 50 and 64 bleomycin IV on days 8 36 64 oral etoposide VP-16 on days 15-19 43-47 and 71-75 and oral PRDL daily for 13 weeks

Patients then may undergo radiotherapy for 2-3 weeks to areas of original bulk or residual disease

Good-risk group Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive no further treatment
Arm II Patients receive melphalan L-PAM before or after total body irradiation TBI which is delivered in 3 fractions over 24 hours After completion of radiotherapy patients undergo autologous bone marrow transplantation AuBMT
Intermediate- or poor-risk group Patients are randomized one of three treatment arms

Arm III Patients receive L-PAM IV on day -2 and AuBMT on day 0
Arm IV Patients receive treatment as in arm II
Arm V Patients receive carmustine IV on day -6 VP-16 IV once daily and cytarabine IV twice daily on days -5 to -2 and L-PAM IV on day -1 Radiotherapy to bulk disease begins after completion of chemotherapy Patients undergo AuBMT on day 0

Patients are followed monthly for 3 months every 2 months for 1 year every 4 months for 2 years and then every 6 months thereafter
