Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn the effect of combining aprepitant with CHOP or R-CHOP in patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) that is either newly diagnosed or has come back. Researchers also want to see if aprepitant can help to prevent nausea and/or vomiting that may be caused by chemotherapy treatment with CHOP or R-CHOP, in these patients. CHOP consists of four drugs - Cyclophosphamide (also called Cytoxan/Neosar), Doxorubicin (or Adriamycin), Vincristine (Oncovin) and Prednisolone while R-CHOP includes Rituximab and CHOP.
