Brief Summary

Primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib (Velcade) in combination with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide for adult patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma. The secondary objectives are to assess the tolerability and safety, the response rate, rate of autologous stem cell transplant and CD34+ progenitor cell collection and engraftment after treatment with this regimen.

Detailed Description

Once subjects are determined to be eligible and informed consent is obtained,patients will be enrolled into a starting dose cohort of 1.0mg/m2. Based upon a satisfactory safety profile, additional patients will be enrolled into the 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7mg/m2 cohorts. Each of these dosing cohorts will only be enrolled if satisfactory safety profiles in each of the lower dosing cohorts are obtained. As the process continues, multiple cohorts will be receiving various dosing regimens simultaneously. If a DLT occurs in ≥2 out of 6 patients at the initial dose level, then 3 more patients will be accrued at dose level -1 (0.7mg/m2).

Bortezomib will be given on days 1 (prior to rituximab) and 4, rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 1, carboplatin AUC 5 and ifosfamide with mesna, each 5 gm/m2, on day 3 and etoposide 100 mg/ m2/day on days 2, 3 and 4 of a 21-day cycle. They will also receive filgrastim on days 6-13 or pegfilgrastim on day 6. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) include any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicities (except alopecia and grade 3 febrile neutropenia), grade 4 febrile neutropenia (life-threatening sepsis) and grade 4 neutropenia persisting past day 35 or grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia persisting past day 35.

If there is a DLT at a given bortezomib dose level, 3 more subjects will be enrolled at that dose; if there are 2 or more DLTs then the MTD will be defined as the previous dose level. If at that dose level, >50% of subjects required bortezomib dose reduction, the MTD will be defined as the next lower dose level. Subjects will continue to be accrued in order to treat a minimum of 10 patients at the MTD.

Those who are candidates for autologous stem cell transplant will have CT scan of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis after 2 cycles. Subjects with PD or SD will be taken off study. Those with CR, PR or response not meeting PR criteria will undergo a total of 3 cycles of bortezomib + RICE. After the 3rd cycle of bortezomib + RICE, whole body PET/CT scan and bone marrow biopsy will be obtained.

Subjects who achieve CR or PR will then proceed to stem cell mobilization and collection by a standard regimen, followed by autologous stem cell transplant with a preparative regimen to be determined by the investigator. Those with SD or PD will be taken off study. While the mobilization and ASCT procedures are not part of the phase I protocol, outcomes of ASCT will be followed, including CD34+ progenitor cell collection, clinical response to transplant and survival.

Subjects who are not candidates for autologous stem cell transplant will have CT scan of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis after the 2nd and 4th cycles. Those who are responding will continue for a maximum of 6 cycles.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Diffuse large B-cell Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma (Grade III), Transformed Follicular Lymphoma
• Prior Rituximab is allowed
• Prior radiation is allowed
• Prior autologous stem cell transplant is allowed
• Age 18-70 years
• ECOG performance status 0-2
• HIV seronegative
• No CNS involvement: CSF cytology is required for cases with bone marrow involvement, involvement of 2 or more extranodal sites, presentation in the testes or paranasal sinuses, or if any clinical suspicion of CNS involvement (e.g., cranial nerve deficits)
• Measurable disease on CT scan by international working group response criteria • Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
• Female subject is either post-menopausal or surgically sterilized or willing to use an acceptable method of birth control (i.e., a hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) for the duration of the study.
• Male subject agrees to use an acceptable method for contraception for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria
