BACKGROUND: In this study we investigated whether administering CEOP (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine [Oncovin], and prednisone) every 2 weeks (CEOP-14) instead of every 3 weeks (the standard CEOP-21 regimen) improves outcomes in patients with previously untreated aggressive lymphomas. In a secondary analysis we evaluated the impact of adding rituximab to CEOP-14/CEOP-21 chemotherapy. STUDY DESIGN: The trial opened in March 1999, and patients were randomly assigned to either CEOP-14 or CEOP-21. All patients enrolled from May 2002 onward received rituximab with each chemotherapy cycle, and those attaining a complete response received rituximab consolidation. RESULTS: Complete and overall response rates in the CEOP-21 +/- rituximab (N = 114) and CEOP-14 +/- rituximab (N = 103) arms were similar, as were the overall survival (P = 0.769) and time to progression distributions (P = 0.969). Rituximab was shown to have a beneficial effect both on the overall survival and on the time to progression. CONCLUSIONS: Thus far, no significant improvement in outcome has been demonstrated with CEOP-14 +/- rituximab versus CEOP-21 +/- rituximab. However, with addition of rituximab to CEOP-21/CEOP-14, significant improvements in time to progression and overall survival were achieved.
