Objectives

  1. Determine the safety profile and recommended phase II dose of IDEC-114 monoclonal antibody and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  2. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
  3. Determine the efficacy of this regimen in these patients.
  4. Determine the immunogenicity of this regimen in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)
    • Relapsed after or refractory to primary therapy

Hematopoietic

  • Hemoglobin at least 8.0 g/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count at least 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count at least 75,000/mm3

Hepatic

  • No New York Heart Association class III or IV heart disease
  • No myocardial infarction within the past 6 months

Other

  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 12 months after study participation
  • HIV negative
  • No other primary malignancy requiring active treatment (except hormonal therapy)
  • No active uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection
  • No other medical condition that would preclude study participation

Expected Enrollment

A total of 39-48 patients (9-18 patients for phase I and 30 patients for phase II) will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study of IDEC-114 monoclonal antibody (IDEC-114).

  • Phase I: Patients receive IDEC-114 IV over 1 hour on days 3, 8, 15, and 22 and rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22.

    Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of IDEC-114 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.



  • Phase II: Patients receive IDEC-114 at the MTD and rituximab as in phase I.


Patients are followed at days 29, 36, 43, and 50; months 3 and 6; every 3 months for 1.5 years; and then every 6 months thereafter.

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.
