Fifty-two patients with stage III or IV nodular mixed lymphocytic-histiocytic lymphoma (NM) were entered on a prospective randomized trial comparing cyclophosphamide-prednisone (CP) to either COPP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone) or BCVP (BCNU, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone). The COPP regimen utilized in this Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) trial was similar to the four-drug regimen C-MOPP reported by the National Cancer Institute to achieve prolonged relapse-free survival in this histology. No significant differences in complete response rates, response duration, or overall survival were noted among the three regimens. A pattern of continuous late relapse was observed for all three chemotherapy programs. Although 11 of the 18 (61%) COPP patients achieved a complete response, only 3/11 (27%) remain disease-free with a median follow-up of over 3 yr. However, two of these three long-term complete responders have died with no clinical evidence of recurrent disease. The COPP patients received 84% of the calculated ideal doses of cyclophosphamide and 78% of the ideal dosage of procarbazine. Grade 3-4 hematologic toxicity was noted in 22% of the COPP group, 36% with BCVP, and 0% for the CP patients. We were unable to confirm the ability of COPP to achieve durable complete remissions in NM lymphoma. The cyclophosphamide-prednisone combination was equally effective when compared with COPP and BCVP, but produced minimal toxicity.
