Comparison of Two Combination Chemotherapy Regimens With Either Vincristine or Vinblastine in Treating Patients With Advanced Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

Study:

A Phase III Trial of Treatment of Advanced-Stage Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) With Standard APO (Doxorubicin, Prednisone, Vincristine) Versus Consolidation With a Regimen Including Vinblastine

Rationale:

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy with vinblastine is more effective than combination chemotherapy with vincristine in treating advanced anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Purpose:

Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two combination chemotherapy regimens with either vinblastine or vincristine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed advanced anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
