Summary

This phase II trial studies giving rituximab before and after a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant in patients with B-cell lymphoma that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving rituximab before and after a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant may help stop cancer from coming back and may help keep the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • With a diagnosis of CD20-expressing B-cell malignancy of any histologic type or grade for whom non-myeloablative allogeneic transplant is considered an appropriate treatment option
  • Who are enrolled on a non-myeloablative allogeneic HCT protocol employing total-body irradiation (TBI)-based conditioning of = = 18 years of age), or with a legal guardian capable of giving consent (if < 18 years of age)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Ineligible for non-myeloablative allogeneic HCT
  • Receiving an HLA-haploidentical allograft
  • Who are fertile but unwilling to use contraception during and for at least 12 months after HCT
  • Females who are pregnant or breast-feeding
