Rituximab, Yttrium Y 90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan in Patients W/Relapsed Stage II, III, or IV Follicular NHL
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Lymphoma
In brief
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying giving combination chemotherapy followed by rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan to see how well it works in treating patients with relapsed stage II, stage III, or stage IV follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

You may qualify if…
- Diagnosis of follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
- Bulky stage II, stage III, or stage IV disease, Bulky disease is defined as any tumor measuring 10.0 cm or more or occupying ≥ one-third of the chest diameter
- In first, second, third, or fourth relapse after chemotherapy
- Unilateral or bilateral bone marrow aspirate and biopsy with cytogenetics within the past 42 days
- Tumor CD20 positive by either flow cytometry or immunoperoxidase staining of paraffin sections using anti-CD20 antibodies
- Bidimensionally measurable disease
- Patients with non-measurable disease in addition to measurable disease must have all non-measurable disease assessed within the past 42 days
- No presence of CNS lymphoma
- No chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- No HIV- or AIDS-related lymphoma
- No presence of pleural effusion
- Zubrod performance status 0-2
- ANC ≥ 1,500/μL (unless decreased counts are due to marrow involvement with NHL)
- Platelet count > 100,000/μL (unless decreased counts are due to marrow involvement with NHL)
- Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL
- Creatinine clearance ≤ 50 mL/min
- Serum bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL
- No renal insufficiency or renal failure
- No known HIV positivity
- Not pregnant or nursing
- No prior malignancy except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or other cancer with 5-year disease-free status
- No impaired bone marrow reserve, including any of the following:
- Hypocellular bone marrow (cellularity ≤ 15%)
- Marked ( ≥ 10%) reduction in bone marrow precursors of one or more cell lines (granulocytic, megakaryocytic, erythroid) (beyond that which would be expected for the patient's age and bone marrow cellularity)
- History of failed stem cell collection
You may not qualify if…
- Patients with impaired bone marrow reserve, as indicated by one or more of the following:
- Platelet count < 100,000 cells/mm3
- Hypocellular bone marrow (cellularity < or = 10%)
- Marked (> 10%) reduction in bone marrow precursors of one or more cell lines (granulocytic, megakaryocytic, erythroid) (beyond that which would be expected for the patient's age and bone marrow cellularity
- History of failed stem cell collection
- Prior radioimmunotherapy
- Presence of CNS lymphoma. Patients must not have clinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma.
- Patients with abnormal liver function: total bilirubin > 2.0 mg/dL
- Patients with abnormal renal function: serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL or creatinine clearance < 50 ml/min.
- Patients who have received prior external beam radiation therapy to > 25% of active bone marrow (involved field or regional)
- Patients who have received G-CSF or GM-CSF therapy within 2 weeks prior to treatment
- Serious nonmalignant disease or infection which, in the opinion of the investigator and/or the sponsor, would compromise other protocol objectives
- Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within 4 weeks
- Patients with pleural effusion
