Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Secondary objectives include estimates of complete response rate (CR) and progression free survival (PFS). We will also explore for associations between baseline kinome signatures and/or RNA sequencing and CR, and identify differential kinome and transcriptome prior to and during treatment.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Alisertib combined with R-EPOCH
Dose escalation will take place within cohorts. Subjects will receive alisertib tablets twice daily in combination with R-EPOCH chemotherapy on days 1 through 5 of each 21-day cycle. The treatment will be given in 6 cycles. The first 3 patients to be enrolled will receive a 20 milligram (mg) dose of alisertib. The dose of alisertib will be increased or decreased as more subjects enter the study. Each dose level will be evaluated for safety and tolerability before the next higher dose is given. The dose levels will be modified until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached. Once the MTD has been established, enrollment into that cohort will continue with up to a maximum of 24 patients total enrolled into the study.
Alisertib
Dose escalation of alisertib: level 1 - 20 mg, level 2 - 30 mg, level 3 - 40 mg PO BID on Days 1-5 of six 21-day cycles, combined with R-EPOCH Rituximab, IV infusion on day 1 of each cycle; Etoposide, IV infusion for 96 hours on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 Doxorubicin, IV infusion for 96 hours on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 Vincristine, IV infusion for 96 hours on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 Cyclophosphamide, IV infusion for 15 minutes on day 5 Prednisone, PO daily on days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

* Platelet count ≥75,000/mm3
* And hepatic and renal function as demonstrated by:
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN); ALT and AST up to 5 x ULN if liver metastases present
* Total serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN
* Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN or CrCl of ≥ 30
* Adequate renal function as defined by: Calculated creatinine clearance must be ≥ 30 mL/minute based on Cockcroft-Gault formula
* Documented negative serologic testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (unless serologically positive due to prior vaccination), and hepatitis C within the year prior to enrollment (note: for guidance in defining active infection for hepatitis B, please refer to the WHO guidelines. (World Health Organization, Global Alert and Response (GAR), Hepatitis B (who.int/csr/disease/hepatitis/ whocdscsrlyo20022/en/index4.html)
* Patient agrees to consume no more than 1 standard unit of alcohol per day during the study and for 30 days from the last dose of alisertib. A standard unit of alcohol is defined as a 12 oz beer (350 mL), 1.5 oz (45 mL) of 80-proof alcohol, or one 6-oz (175 mL) glass of wine.
* Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to D1 of treatment

* Use an acceptable method for contraception (effective barrier contraception or:
* Completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse) during the entire study treatment period through 4 months after the last dose of alisertib.
