Yttrium-90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan Plus High-Dose BEAM Followed By ASCT For Relapsed B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

A Phase II Study of Yttrium-90-Labeled Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody in Combination With High-Dose Beam Followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Poor Risk/Relapsed B-Cell Lymphoma

This phase II clinical trial studies how well yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, rituximab, and high-dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan and 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 can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy, radioimmunotherapy (RIT), and high-dose combination chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Presence of human anti-Zevalin antibody (HAZA)
• Prior radioimmunotherapy
• Failure to collect adequate number of CD34+ cells >= 3 x 10^6/kg
• Abnormal cytogenetic study not related to the underlying lymphoma on the bone marrow aspirate sample prior to stem cell collection; if cytogenetics were not performed on the marrow aspirate prior to stem cell collection, cytogenetics on the peripheral blood may be performed
• Prior bone marrow transplantation

• Prior malignancy except for:

  • Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer
  • Adequately treated noninvasive carcinoma
  • Other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for at least five years
• Active evidence of Hepatitis B or C infection; Hepatitis B surface antigen positive
• Patients who have had prior radiation to the lung will be excluded from the study, although mediastinal irradiation will be permitted if minimal lung is in the treatment volume
• Patients who have received > 500cGy radiation to the kidneys will be excluded from the study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
2-Year Progression-Free Survival	Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as time from peripheral stem cell infusion to recurrence, progression or death. In a clinical trial, measuring the progression-free survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works. Progression-free survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method; the 95% confidence interval was calculated using Greenwood's formula [Breslow NE, Day NE. Statistical methods in cancer research: volume II, the design and analysis of cohort studies. IARC Sci Publ 1987;82:1-406.]	From peripheral stem cell infusion (Day0 ASCT) to first observation of progressive disease or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
2-Year Overall Survival	Overall survival (OS) was measured from peripheral stem cell infusion to death from any cause. It was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method; the 95% confidence interval was calculated using Greenwood's formula. [Breslow NE, Day NE. Statistical methods in cancer research: volume II, the design and analysis of cohort studies. IARC Sci Publ 1987;82:1-406.]	From peripheral stem cell infusion (Day0 ASCT) to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years
2-Year Cumulative Incidence of Progression	The cumulative incidence was estimated after taking into account the competing risk of early death.	From peripheral stem cell infusion (Day0 ASCT) to date of first observation of progressive disease or relapsed disease, assessed up to 5 years
Number of Patients With Active Disease at ASCT Achieving CR/PR by Day 100 After ASCT	Responses are assessed using the Revised Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma Response Definitions for Clinical Trials (Cheson et al. 2007). Complete Response (CR) defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease. Partial Response (PR) defined as regression of measurable disease and no new sites.	Up to Day 100 post-ASCT
Number of Patients With Grade 3-4 Bearman Toxicities.	Toxicities were recorded using the modified Bearman Scale for non-hematologic adverse events.	From initial of study treatment to Day 100 post-ASCT
100-Day Treatment-Related Mortality	The cumulative incidence was estimated after taking into account the competing risk of relapse post-ASCT.	From peripheral stem cell infusion (Day0 ASCT) to death due to any couse, assessed up to 5 years
Time to Neutrophil Recovery	Neutrophil recovery was defined as the first of 3 consecutive days of an absolute neutrophil count ≥ 500/µL.	From peripheral stem cell infusion (Day0 ASCT) till the first of 3 consecutive days of an absolute neutrophil count ≥ 500/µL.)
Time to Platelet Recovery	Platelet recovery was defined as the first of 7 consecutive days with a platelet count ≥ 20,000/µL with no transfusions.	From peripheral stem cell infusion (Day0 ASCT) till the first of 7 consecutive days with a platelet count ≥ 20,000/µL with no transfusions
Number of Patients With RIT/ZBEAM Developing Therapy Induced MDS and AML	Patient receiving the full treatment of RIT/ZBEAM developed therapy induced MDS or AML.	From peripheral stem cell infusion (Day0 ASCT) to onset of therapy induced MDS/AML, assessed up to 5 years
