Rituximab, Gemcitabine, and Vinorelbine in Treating Patients With Hodgkin Lymphoma That Has Relapsed or Not Responded to Treatment

• Status: Withdrawn
• Trial end date: 2012-10-01

Summary

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 cell-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and vinorelbine, 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 gemcitabine and vinorelbine may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with gemcitabine and vinorelbine works in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has relapsed or not responded to treatment.
