Trial Arms

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Arm A - Rituximab + MTXExperimentalPatients will receive rituximab Day 1 (+/- 7 days) and MTX Day 2 (+/- 7 days) as per standard of care. Voraxaze will be administered each cycle 24 hours (+/- 2 h) after start of MTX infusion. Dose of Voraxaze will be 2000 units during cycles 1-4, and 1000 units during cycles 5-8. Patients will be treated with rituximab 500 mg/m^2. (Cohort A) will receive MTX 3 g/m2. Patients will also receive standard of care leucovorin rescue starting at least 24 hours after MTX and 2 hours after Voraxaze. Cycles will be 14 days long.
  • Voraxaze
  • Methotrexate
  • Rituximab
  • leucovorin
  • Glucarpidase
Arm B - Rituximab + MTXExperimentalPatients will receive up to 8 cycles of treatment consisting of rituximab Day 1 (+/- 7 days) and MTX Day 2 (+/- 7 days) as per standard of care. Voraxaze will be administered each cycle 24 hours (+/- 2 h) after start of MTX infusion. Dose of Voraxaze will be 2000 units during cycles 1-4, and 1000 units during cycles 5-8. Patients will be treated with rituximab 500 mg/m^2. (Cohort B) will receive MTX 8 g/m2.

  • Methotrexate
  • Glucarpidase
Arm D - MTX + VoraxazeExperimentalParticipants will receive MTX 3.5 g/m2 followed by reduced-dose Voraxaze (2000u, determined in Arm A). MTX will be administered in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
  • Methotrexate
  • Glucarpidase
