Barta SK et al. – The current analysis provided additional level 2 evidence supporting the use of concurrent rituximab plus infusional etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin (R–EPOCH) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–associated lymphoma and a CD4 count >50/µL, and the results support the design of an ongoing phase 3 trial comparing concurrent R–EPOCH with R–CHOP in immunocompetent patients with diffuse large B–cell lymphoma .
