Description:
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given
together with combination chemotherapy and to see how well they work in treating patients
with v-myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (avian) (MYC)-associated B-cell lymphomas.
Lenalidomide may stop the growth of B-cell lymphomas by blocking the growth of new blood
vessels necessary for cancer growth and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell
growth. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms
that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from
growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate,
doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of
cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping
them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may block cancer growth in
different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving lenalidomide together with combination
chemotherapy may be an effective treatment in patients with B-cell lymphoma.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide when added to dose-adjusted
(DA)-etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate, doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide,
rituximab (EPOCH-R) (hereby termed "DA-EPOCH-RR") in patients with double hit lymphoma (DHL)
lymphomas. (Phase I) II. To determine the 1- and 2-year progression free survival (PFS) of
DA-EPOCH-RR in patients with DHL lymphomas. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Overall response rate, complete response, and duration of response. II. Quality of life
(QOL) measures using standardized scales. III. Toxicity assessment using version 4.0 of the
National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
criteria.
IV. Overall survival (OS) at 1 and 2 years.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of lenalidomide followed by a phase II
study.
INDUCTION PHASE: Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) daily on days 1-14. Treatment
repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.
DA-EPOCH-R: Patients receive etoposide intravenously (IV) continuously on days 1-4,
prednisone PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-5, vincristine sulfate IV continuously on days 1-4,
doxorubicin hydrochloride IV continuously on days 1-4, cyclophosphamide IV over 15 minutes on
day 5, and rituximab IV over 4 hours on day 1 (per institutional guidelines). Treatment
repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.
CONSOLIDATION PHASE: Patients who are transplantation (hematopoietic stem cell transplant
[HSCT])-eligible receive BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM)-conditioning
regimen followed by autologous (auto)-HSCT or HSCT at the discretion of the treating
physician. Patients who do not undergo HSCT in first remission receive lenalidomide
maintenance for 12 months.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for every 3 months for 1 year,
every 4 months for 1 year, and then periodically for 1 year.

(FISH or karyotype) of C-myc breaks (Increased copy number in itself is not considered
positivity for C-myc) OR Positive IHC defined as >40% of the lymphoma cells staining

2. BCL-2 immunopositivity in >70% of lymphoma cells.
3. Patients are allowed to have received radiotherapy before enrollment if radiation was
given to alleviate pain and/or neurologic compromise as long as there remains areas of
measurable disease present. Further, at the investigator's discretion and for patients
who are unstable, one cycle of R-CHOP is allowed prior to enrollment but no more than
one cycle. For purposes of this trial, prednisone or other corticosteroids used for
non-lymphomatous conditions will be allowed. In addition, a prior/recent short course
(< 2 weeks) of steroids for symptom relief of lymphoma-related symptoms will be
allowed.
