Phase II Study of Induction Therapy Comprising Etoposide, Methylprednisolone, Cytarabine, and Cisplatin (ESHAP) Followed by Consolidation Therapy Comprising Rituximab and Yttrium Y 90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory AIDS-Related Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

NCT00310128 Phase 2 WITHDRAWN

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, methylprednisolone, cytarabine, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, 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 without harming normal cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
