Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and deliver radiation to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of rituximab and ibritumomab tiuxetan in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy and safety of rituximab and ibritumomab tiuxetan radioimmunotherapy in patients with refractory or relapsed, low-grade, follicular, or transformed B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1 and 8 immediately followed by IDEC-In2B8 IV over 10 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on day 8. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 400 patients will be accrued for this study.

Study Groups

Rituxan + IDEC-In2B8, Rituxan + IDEC-Y2B8

For the first treatment, 250 mg/m2 Rituxan infusion and injection of IDEC-In2B8 (Indium- radioactive label) is given. If therapy is continued, approximately 1 week later a second infusion of Rituximab (250 mg/m2) is given followed by an infusion of IDEC-Y2B8 (Yttrium-radioactive label).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

90-Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

IDEC-Y2B8 is a mouse monoclonal antibody with small particles of radioactivity that join to the CD20 antigens on lymphoma cells. It is used to deliver radiation therapy to kill lymphoma cells. This is a one time intravenous infusion for eligible patients and is given over a ten-minute time period.

rituximab

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

Rituxan is a mouse/human monoclonal antibody and reacts with the CD20 antigens found on lymphoma cells and causes the body's immune system to destroy the lymphoma cells. It is infused at a dose of 250 mg/m2 followed by a second infusion approximately one week later of the same dose.

indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan

Intervention Type: RADIATION

IDEC-In2B8 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that contains Indium, routinely used in nuclear medicine. It is given as a one-time intravenous injection over a ten-minute time period immediately following a Rituxan infusion. The physician will then be able to see and evaluate the location and concentration of the antibody in the body.
