Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib in combination with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan in patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade, follicular B-cell, or mantle cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
  2. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

Secondary

  1. Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed low-grade, follicular B-cell, or mantle cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
    • Bone marrow biopsy required for pretreatment evaluation
      • Unilateral bone marrow biopsy allowed
      • Core biopsies allowed if they contain adequate tissue for primary diagnosis and immunophenotyping


  • Relapsed or refractory disease as defined by disease progression after initial complete response (CR) or failure to achieve CR


  • No bone marrow involvement ≥ 25% within the past 30 days


  • No pleural effusion or significant ascites


  • No active CNS involvement


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • Recovered from all prior therapy
  • More than 3 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C), radiotherapy, or surgical resection of malignancy
    • No limitations on the number of prior therapies
  • More than 4 weeks since prior major surgery
  • More than 14 days since prior filgrastim (G-CSF) or sargramostim (GM-CSF)
  • More than 14 days since prior and no other concurrent investigational agents
    • Concurrent participation in a nontreatment study allowed
  • No prior radioimmunotherapy

  • Total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 times ULN
  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen negative
  • No current infection with hepatitis B virus
  • No HIV positivity
  • No neuropathy or neuropathic pain ≥ grade 2
  • No history of allergic reaction to boron or mannitol
  • No active serious infection or medical or psychiatric illness that would preclude study therapy
  • No other malignancy within the past 5 years except for the following:
    • Basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been completely resected
    • In situ malignancy that has been completely resected
    • T1-T2a, N0, M0 prostate cancer treated with a prostatectomy or radiotherapy within the past 2 years with an undetectable PSA level
  • No other condition, including any of the following:
    • Myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
    • New York Heart Association class III-IV heart failure
    • Uncontrolled angina
    • Severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias
    • Electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib
Dose-limiting toxicity

Secondary Outcome(s)

Response rate

Outline

This is a multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized, dose-escalation study of bortezomib.

Patients receive rituximab IV over 4 hours followed by indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on day 1 to assess biodistribution. Patients without altered biodistribution receive rituximab IV over 4 hours followed by yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on day 8. Patients also receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 4, 8, 11, and 15.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of bortezomib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Additional patients may be treated at the MTD.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 18 months 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.
