NCI-312, NCT00012298

Objectives

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (IDEC-90Y2B8) administered with rituximab with and without filgrastim (G-CSF) and interleukin-11 (IL-11) in patients with relapsed low-grade or follicular CD20+ non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. (Phase I)
  2. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  3. Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen.
  4. Compare tumor and normal organ dosimetry with positron emission tomography and computerized tomography scans, subsequent tumor response, and normal organ toxicity by utilizing indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan radioimmunoconjugate scans before each IDEC-90Y2B8 dose in these patients. (Phase I)
  5. Determine the immune response to this regimen, in terms of human anti-mouse and human anti-chimeric antibody formation, in these patients. (Phase I)
  6. Determine whether G-CSF and IL-11 can ameliorate the effect of the MTD of IDEC-90Y2B8 on bone marrow function in these patients. (Phase I)
  7. Determine progression-free survival at 3 years. (Phase II)

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically proven relapsed or refractory low-grade or follicular CD20+ non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including 1 of the following:
    • Small lymphocytic lymphoma
    • Lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma
    • Follicular center lymphoma (grades I, II, and III)
    • Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma
    • Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma

  • No HIV or AIDS-related lymphoma


  • No pleural effusion or ascites with lymphoma cells


 [Note: A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.]

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy:

  • No prior radioimmunotherapy, including yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan or iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody tositumomab or Lym-1
  • No prior myeloablative therapy with autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or peripheral blood stem cell support

Chemotherapy:

  • See Biologic therapy

Endocrine therapy:

  • No concurrent corticosteroid therapy except prednisone (or an equivalent) for adrenal failure or < 20 mg of prednisone daily

Radiotherapy:

  • No prior external beam radiotherapy to > 25% of active bone marrow

Surgery:

  • More than 4 weeks since prior surgery other than diagnostic surgery

Other:

  • No other concurrent myelosuppressive antineoplastic agents

Patient Characteristics:

Age:

  • 18 and over

Performance status:

  • ECOG 0-2

Life expectancy:

  • Not specified

Hematopoietic:

  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count ≥ 150,000/mm3
  • Total lymphocyte count < 5,000/mm3 for patients with small lymphocytic lymphoma

Hepatic:

  • Bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dL

Renal:

  • Creatinine ≤ 2 mg/dL

Other:

  • No active infection
  • No other serious non-malignant disease that would preclude study participation
  • No other active primary malignancy
  • No known human anti-mouse or human anti-chimeric antibody
  • No prior skin rash (e.g., Stevens-Johnson's syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis) from rituximab therapy
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception

Outline

This is a phase I dose-escalation study of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (IDEC-90Y2B8) followed by a phase II open-label study.

  • Phase I: Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1 and 8, indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on day 1 (for radioimaging), and IDEC-90Y2B8 IV over 10 minutes on day 8. Treatment repeats 24-36 weeks later for a total of 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IDEC-90Y2B8 is determined, patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) daily beginning when absolute neutrophil count is less than 1,500/mm3 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients also receive interleukin-11 (IL-11) SC beginning when platelet count is less than 75,000/mm3 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients undergo PBSC transplantation only if marrow recovery is inadequate.

    Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of IDEC-90Y2B8 until the MTD is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

    Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are accrued to determine the MTD of this radioimmunotherapy with the addition of the prophylactic cytokines, G-CSF and IL-11.



  • Phase II: Patients receive rituximab, indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan, and IDEC-90Y2B8 IV as determined at the MTD in phase I. Treatment repeats 24-36 weeks later for a total of 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually for 2 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
