{Abstract}: To improve complete remission (CR) rates by reducing toxicity and enhancing delivery, we created a modified hyper-CVAD/MA regimen (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone/methotrexate, cytarabine) by reducing the cytarabine dose (3 g/m2 to 2 g/m2) and number of cycles (eight to six). We conducted a phase II trial in the pre-rituximab era in the intermediate-high international prognostic index (IPI) (≥2) de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) (ACTRN12605000105640). CR rates were compared with reported IPI-stratified rates. Sixty-three patients (n = 26 PTCL; n = 37 DLBCL) were evaluated; median follow-up of 30 months. CR rates for PTCL and DLBCL patients were 46% and 49%, respectively, similar with reported CR rates with CHOP-like chemotherapy (p = .6). Of the patients, 51 (81%) experienced ≥1 unplanned hospital admission; only 41 (65%) completed six cycles. The cytarabine modifications did not prevent significant toxicity. Modified hyper-CVAD/MA resulted in similar outcomes to CHOP-like chemotherapy in aggressive lymphomas and was associated with significant toxicity.
