Rituximab and Liposomal Doxorubicin in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Lymphoma

In brief

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving rituximab together with liposomal doxorubicin may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving rituximab together with liposomal doxorubicin and to see how well they work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
