Rituximab, Combination Chemotherapy, and 90-Yttrium Ibritumomab Tiuxetan for Patients With Stage I or II Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Contiguous Stage II Adult Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma, Extranodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma of Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue, Nodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma, Noncontiguous Stage II Adult Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma, Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma, Stage I Adult Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma, Testicular Lymphoma, Waldenström Macroglobulinemia

In brief

This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy and 90-Yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan works in treating patients with stage I or stage II lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as prednisone, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab and yttrium 90-Yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver radioactive cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining a monoclonal antibody with combination chemotherapy and a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody may kill more cancer cells.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

Patients must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of diffuse large cell lymphoma
Patients must be stage I or II (Modified Ann Arbor staging)
Baseline measurements and evaluations must be obtained within 4 weeks of registration to the study; abnormal PET scans will not constitute evaluable disease unless verified by CT scan or other appropriate imaging; patients must have at least one objective measurable disease parameter (a lesion with at least 1 dimension > 1.5 cm); or if they are stage 1
Stage I patients must have at least one of the following risk factors:
Age >= 60 years
Bulky disease (>= 5 cm in at least one dimension)
Elevated Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) above institutional upper limit of normal
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = 2
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
Absolute neutrophil count >= 1500/mm\^3 (includes neutrophils and bands)
Platelet count >= 100,000/mm\^3
Creatinine < 2.0 mg/dl
Total bilirubin < 2 mg/dl (may be up to 3.0 mg/dl if due to liver involvement by lymphoma); patients with elevated total bilirubin should have a direct bilirubin checked; if the direct bilirubin is normal there is no need for a dose reduction
Patients must have left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of > 45%
Patients must be tested for hepatitis B (HBV) surface antigen within 2 weeks of registration
NOTE: Patients who test positive will be allowed to participate but must be followed closely for clinical and laboratory signs of active HBV infection and for signs of hepatitis

You may not qualify if…

Prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, radioimmunotherapy, or immunotherapy; a short course (=< 14 days prior to registration) of corticosteroids is allowed
Evidence of other malignancy:
Prior chemotherapy or prior radiation therapy for other malignancies
Currently receiving hormone therapy or chemotherapy for another malignancy even if the treatment is being provided in the adjuvant treatment setting, i.e. with no evidence of the original other malignancy
Adjuvant hormonal therapy must have been discontinued > 3 months before entering this study
Patients are eligible if they meet the following conditions: (a) treated carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix; (b) treated squamous cell or basal cell skin cancer; or (c) any other surgically cured malignancy from which the patient has been disease free for at least 3 years
Pregnant or breast feeding, as there would be radiation exposure to the fetus or child; a negative pregnancy test is required =< 1 week prior to registration for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP). Women of childbearing potential and sexually active males must be strongly advised to use an accepted and effective method of contraception
Known central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, testicular lymphoma, or vitreous lymphoma
Known HIV infection. The safety of Zevalin™ in this population has not been tested at this time
Serious coexisting medical condition or active infection which would compromise the ability to deliver standard R-CHOP chemotherapy
Evidence of myelodysplasia on bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
