Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining doxorubicin and topotecan in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory intermediate-grade or high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Description:

OBJECTIVES:

• Determine the response rate and time to progression in patients with relapsed or refractory intermediate or high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with doxorubicin and topotecan.

• Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive doxorubicin IV over 5-10 minutes on day 1 and topotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 3-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and annually for the next 3 years.
