This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and pralatrexate works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing

baseline measurements and evaluations must be obtained within 6 weeks of registration to the study; abnormal positron emission tomography (PET) scans will not constitute evaluable disease, unless verified by computed tomography (CT) scan or other appropriate imaging * Patients with measurable disease must have at least one objective measurable disease parameter; a clearly defined, bidimensionally measurable defect or mass measuring at least 2 cm in diameter on a CT scan will constitute measurable disease; proof of lymphoma in the liver is required by a confirmation biopsy * Women must not be pregnant or breast-feeding due to teratogenic effects of chemotherapy * All females of childbearing potential must have a blood test within 2 weeks prior to registration to rule out pregnancy * Pregnancy testing is not required for post-menopausal or surgically sterilized women * Male and female patients of reproductive potential must agree follow accepted birth control measures * Patient must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements * Patients must be willing to give written informed consent, and sign an institutionally approved consent form before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care; with the exception of 1 cycle of chemotherapy based on current diagnosis and clinical condition, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care * No serious disease or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breast feeding females * Known positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), or infectious hepatitis, type A, B or C or active hepatitis * Major surgery within 2 weeks of study drug administration * Prior malignancies within the past 3 years with exception of adequately treated basal cell, squamous cell skin cancer, or thyroid cancer;

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    Complete Response Rate (CR) was reported at the end of the CEOP-P (6 courses for patients not receiving transplant and 4-6 courses for patients receiving transplant). Response assessment was performed by computerized tomography (CT) or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT based on the investigator's preference after cycles 2, 4 and 6. Response was assessed by the treating physician according to the Cheson Revised response criteria (Cheson et al,, 2007) or International Harmonization Project criteria (Cheson, 2007), based on imaging modality used. Complete Response Definition: Disappearance of all evidence of disease Nodal Masses: (a) \[18F\]fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)-avid or PET positive prior to therapy; mass of any size permitted if PETnegative (b) Variably FDG-avid or PET negative; regression to normal size on CT Spleen, Liver: Not palpable, nodules disappeared Bone Marrow: Infiltrate cleared on repeat biopsy; if indeterminate by morphology, immunohistochemistry should be negative

brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and pralatrexate works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing
detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate in a Phase II study a preliminary estimate of the complete response (CR) rate of a new chemotherapy regimen involving Cyclophosphamide, Etoposide, Vincristine and Prednisone (CEOP) alternating with Pralatrexate (P) as front line therapy for patients with Stage II, III and IV Peripheral T-Cell NHL not otherwise specified (NOS), Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK negative), Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, Enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma, Hepatosplenic gamma delta T-cell lymphoma followed by an optional stem cell transplant with high dose chemotherapy and Autologous stem cell transplant. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate partial response (PR). II. To evaluate overall response (CR+PR). III. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the regimen IV. To assess the 2 year event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) using this regimen. V. To assess the percentage of patients who proceeded with transplant. VI. To evaluate the ability to collect peripheral blood stem cells after this regimen. OUTLINE: Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) and vincristine IV on day 1, etoposide IV on days 1-3 or orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 2-3, and prednisone PO QD on days 1-5 (CEOP administration). Patients also receive pralatrexate IV over 3-5 minutes on days 15, 22, and 29 (P administration). Treatment repeats every 42 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), per investigators discretion, may then undergo hematopoietic stem cell collection and administration of standard preparative regimen followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years (transplant patients) or periodically.
