Purpose

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects new combinations of treatment will have this disease. New promising treatment strategies will be added to this study as they are available to be compared against the standard treatment.

Detailed Description

      This research is being done to try to find new combinations of treatment that may be better
      for treating patients with this disease. It is not clear however if these treatments can
      offer better results than standard treatment.

      The study uses a "pick the winner" design to facilitate efficient screening of novel
      combination treatment regimens and select those meeting pre-specified criteria for testing in
      the phase III setting. All novel treatment options will be compared against the standard
      treatment for this disease: rituximab plus gemcitabine, dexemthasone, and cisplatin (R-GDP).

                  B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma.

          -  Biopsy proof of disease at initial diagnosis is mandatory. A repeat biopsy in primary
             refractory disease is preferred but not mandatory to confirm progressive disease. A
             biopsy at relapse is preferred but not mandatory. Participating centres must designate
             a local reference expert pathologist who will confirm the diagnosis for the patients
             enrolled at that centre.

          -  Patients must be CD20+ in order to be eligible for the study.

          -  Clinically and/or radiologically measurable disease (one site bidimensionally

          -  Patients with de novo aggressive B-cell lymphoma must have relapsed or progressed, or
             have refractory disease, after 1 prior line of therapy (R-CHOP chemotherapy or
             equivalent). Patients with histological transformation from low grade lymphoma may
             have had up to 3 prior treatment regimens. Patients with transformed low grade
             lymphoma treated with a non-anthracycline regimen may be enrolled at investigator
             discretion.

        practicing a highly effective method of birth control during and after the study consistent
        with local regulations regarding the use of birth control methods for subjects
        participating in clinical trials. Men must agree to not donate sperm during and after the
        study. These restrictions apply for 12 months (1 year) after the last dose of study drug.

          -  Women of childbearing potential must have a pregnancy test taken (either by serum
             beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [B-hCG]) or urine) and proven negative within 14

        trial to document their willingness to participate.

        Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow up. Patients randomized on this trial
        must be treated and followed at the participating centre. This implies there must be
        reasonable geographical limits (for example: 1 ½ hour's driving distance) placed on
        patients being considered for this trial. Investigators must assure themselves the patients
        randomized on this trial will be available for complete documentation of the treatment,
        response assessment, adverse events, and follow-up.
