Phase 2 Study of Zevalin Versus Zevalin and Motexafin Gadolinium in Patients With Rituximab-Refractory Low-grade or Follicular B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

In brief

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Zevalin regimen compared to Zevalin and motexafin gadolinium in patients with rituximab-refractory, low-grade or follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). Effectiveness of the experimental regimen assessed by complete response rate within 6 months of study entry (primary endpoint), complete response rate within 3 months of study entry, and overall response rate within 6 month of study entry.

Who can join

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

You may qualify if…

• Men or women, at least 18 years of age
• Histologically-confirmed follicular or indolent, marginal zone and small lymphocytic B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
• Progressive disease within 6 months of the end of a rituximab-containing regimen; or progressive disease at any time following 2 or more prior rituximab-containing regimens; or progressive disease while on rituximab-containing regimen.
• At least 1 measurable tumor (> 1.5 cm in the long axis and > 1.0 cm in the short axis) that has not been irradiated previously or that has increased in size since previous irradiation
• A life expectancy of at least 3 months
• A World Health Organization/Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (WHO/ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
• Adequate hematopoietic function: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/μL, absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≤ 5,000 cells/μL, platelet count ≥ 100,000 cells/μL,hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (may be transfused to maintain this concentration). Patients who have received pre-phase therapy for purposes of improving performance status prior to initiating Zevalin are eligible.
• Adequate liver function: total bilirubin ≤ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) and Alanine transaminase (ALT) (Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) ≤ 2.5 × upper limits of normal (ULN)
• Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2
• Bone marrow involvement < 25%
• If men or women of reproductive potential, agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry and for at least 1 year following treatment with Zevalin
• Willing and able to provide written Informed Consent and to comply with the requirements of the study protocol

You may not qualify if…

• Received antineoplastic, experimental, and/or radiation therapy within the 3 weeks prior to Study Day 1
• Has not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 from all toxicities related to prior treatments
• Prior radioimmunotherapy for NHL

• Platelet transfusion within the 7 days prior to Study Day 1
• History of porphyria
• Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy within the 14 days prior to Study Day 1
• History of or active central nervous system disease (e.g., primary brain tumor, seizures not controlled with standard medical therapy, brain metastases)
• Ongoing, active infection that requires anti infective therapy
• Clinically significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., unstable angina pectoris, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, uncontrolled hypertension, myocardial infarction, New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class 2 or higher congestive heart failure, Grade 2 or higher peripheral vascular disease) within the 12 months prior to Study Day 1
• History of another clinically significant medical condition, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, and/or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates use of an investigational drug or that might affect interpretation of the results of the study or place the patient at high risk of treatment complications and/or of noncompliance with the study procedures
• Major surgical procedure and/or significant traumatic injury (that which could interfere with the patient's ability to receive protocol therapy as determined by the principal investigator) within the 28 days prior to Study Day 1, and/or patient is anticipated to require a major surgical procedure during the study period
• Diagnosed with and/or treated for a malignancy other than NHL within the 2 years prior to Study Day 1, with the exception of complete resection of basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, an in situ malignancy, and/or low-risk prostate cancer after curative therapy from which the patient has been disease-free for at least 1 year
• Evidence of a bleeding diathesis and/or a coagulopathy
• Known HIV infection
• Known hypersensitivity to drugs with porfyrin-like structures, like Visudyne™.
• Positive Hepatitis B or C infection: Patient must be tested for hepatitis B surface antigen.
• Pregnant or lactating woman
• Full dose oral or parenteral anticoagulants within the 10 days prior to Study Day 1, and/or anticipated full dose oral or parenteral anticoagulant therapy during the study period(except as required to maintain patency of pre-existing, permanent, indwelling intravenous catheters) or thrombolytic agents
• Participated in another clinical study within the 4 weeks prior to Study Day 1
