Lenalidomide Combined With Modified DA-EPOCH and Rituximab (EPOCH-R2) in Primary Effusion Lymphoma or KSHV-associated Large Cell Lymphoma
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Summary
Background: Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare disease with no standard treatment. Researchers want to see if a drug called lenalidomide along with common chemotherapy drugs may be effective in treating PEL. Objective: To test a new treatment for PEL. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with PEL. Design: Participants will be screened with blood tests, imaging studies, a physical exam, and other tests. Participants will have tests to evaluate their disease. These may include: Blood tests Scans Lumbar puncture. Fluid around the spinal cord will be removed with a needle. Bone marrow removed with a needle and studied Samples of skin or lymph nodes removed Fluid removed from around organs Lung and eye tests Tubes with cameras taking pictures of airways or digestive tract Participants will take lenalidomide pills for 10 days. They will keep a pill diary. Participants will have a catheter (small tube) placed in the large vein in the arm or chest. Participants will get DA-EPOCH-R as intravenous infusions by catheter over several days. This will be repeated in 21-day cycles. Most participants will have 6 cycles. Participants will get the drug filgrastim by injection under the skin. They will get the drug methotrexate injected into the spinal fluid. During the study, participants will have the following tests done at least once: Medical history Physical exam Blood, urine, and stool tests Lesions photographed and measured Lumbar puncture Participants will have follow-up visits for 5 years. They will repeat the screening tests plus have urine and stool tested. Participants may be contacted later by phone to see how they are doing.

Interventions
Lenalidomide
Lenalidomide taken orally, daily at assigned dose level on days 1 to 10, up to 25mg.
Rituximab
During cycle 1, rituximab will be administered on day 4 prior to the start of etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (EPOCH). During cycles 2 to 6, rituximab will be administered on day 1 of each cycle.
Prednisone

Etoposide
During cycle 1, Etoposide 50 mg/m\^2 /day continuous intravenous infusion days 6 to 9. During cycles 2-6, Etoposide 50 mg/m\^2/day continuous intravenous infusion days 1 to 4.
Doxorubicin
During cycle 1, Doxorubicin 10 mg /m\^2/day continuous intravenous infusion days 6 to 9. During cycles 2-6, Doxorubicin continuous intravenous infusion days 1 to 4.
Vincristine
During cycle 1, Vincristine 0.4 mg/m\^2 /day continuous intravenous infusion days 6 to 9. During cycles 2-6, Vincristine continuous intravenous infusion days 1 to 4.
Cyclophosphamide
During cycle 1, Cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m\^2 day 10. During cycles 2-6, Cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m\^2 day 5.
