Study Summary

This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with rituximab and combination chemotherapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer cell 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 cell-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving vorinostat together with rituximab and combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.

Primary Outcome

Safe dose of Vorinostat (in combination with R-CHOP) at which 3/10 or fewer patients have doselimiting toxicities (DLT). Toxicities graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (CTCAE 4.0). DLT apply only during cycle 1 and should be drug-related (possible, probable, or definite).
