Phase II Study of Cyclophosphamide, Prednisone and Rituximab (CPR) in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults With B-lymphocyte Antigen CD20 (CD20) Positive Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD) Following Solid Organ Transplantation (SOT)

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide, prednisone, and
methylprednisolone use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop
growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either
kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
Combining cyclophosphamide and either prednisone or methylprednisolone with rituximab may be
effective in treating lymphoproliferative disease following organ transplantation.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining cyclophosphamide and either
prednisone or methylprednisolone with rituximab in treating patients who have Epstein-Barr
virus-positive lymphoproliferative disease following organ transplantation.

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the safety and toxicity of cyclophosphamide, rituximab, and prednisone or
methylprednisolone in patients with CD20-positive and Epstein-Barr virus-positive
post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) after solid organ transplantation.

- Determine the 2-year event-free survival, defined as alive and in continuous complete
remission with a functioning original allograft, of patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the PTLD gene expression profile by microarray analysis and fluorescent in
situ hybridization in patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the accrual rate of patients to this study.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 and oral prednisone or
methylprednisolone IV twice daily on days 1-5. During courses 1 and 2 only, patients also
receive rituximab IV over 2-5 hours on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days
for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression, a new primary or secondary
malignancy, or unrelated disease.

After finishing study treatment, patients are followed periodically for at least 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients (50 with non-fulminant post-transplant
lymphoproliferative disease [PTLD] and 10 fulminant PTLD) will be accrued for this study
within 2.5-3 years.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD)

- Presents with 1 of the following:

- Fulminant PTLD (F-PTLD)

- Lungs (interstitial pneumonitis with or without pleural
effusions)

- Gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage

- Non-fulminant PTLD (NF-PTLD)

- Does not meet the above F-PTLD criteria

- Considered medically refractory to reduced immune suppression (50% or
more reduction of immunosuppression) for at least 1 week

- CD20 positive AND Epstein-Barr virus positive

- Must have received prior solid organ transplantation

- Must have residual disease after biopsy and/or surgery

- No PTLD central nervous system (CNS) disease, defined as positive cytology and/or
radiographic evidence
