Brief Summary: RATIONALE Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of interferon alfa in treating children with an HIV-related cancer including leukemia non-Hodgkins lymphoma CNS lymphoma or other solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the complete response rate and one-year disease free survival of pediatric patients with HIV-related malignancies treated with interferon alfa
Determine the toxicity of interferon alfa alone and in combination with antiretroviral therapy in these patients

OUTLINE

Induction Patients receive interferon alfa subcutaneously SC daily on days 1-14 Patients with advanced stage III or IV undifferentiated lymphomas or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia also receive hydrocortisone intrathecally IT combined with cytarabine IT on day 14
Maintenance Patients with stable or responding disease after completion of induction receive interferon alfa SC 3 times a week beginning on week 1 Treatment continues for a minimum of 4-12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients who received IT therapy during induction receive the same IT therapy at 4 8 and 12 weeks and then every 8 weeks thereafter

Patients are followed every 6 months for 4 years and then annually for survival until entry on another POG protocol

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 14-30 evaluable patients will be accrued for this study within 42 years
