Open Label Multicenter Study of CVP Followed by Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody for Subjects With Untreated Low-Grade Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Phase II Multicenter Study of Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, and Prednisone (CVP) Followed by Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody for Patients With Untreated Low-grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).

This is a phase II, open-label, multicenter study of the efficacy and safety of sequential administration of CVP x 6 followed by tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab (formerly referred to as tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab). All patients who complete three cycles of CVP, regardless of response, will be eligible for treatment with tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab. Subjects who have rapidly progressive disease prior to completing three cycles of CVP may be removed from study.

In order to proceed to tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab therapy, patients must have completed six cycles of CVP within 20 weeks as described. Patients may proceed to Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody if they have progressive disease documented at the response evaluation following 6 cycles of CVP. In addition, patients must still meet the eligibility inclusion exclusion criteria based upon the week 20 assessments, as applicable. Patients must also have an average of ≤25% bone marrow involved by NHL to receive treatment with tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab. The dosimetric dose of tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab must be given within 28 days of the response evaluation following CVP and no later than 56 days from the first day of the sixth cycle of CVP.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: cycolophosphamide, vacristine, and pednisone (CVP) x6 cycles followed by tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab.

Detailed Description

This is a phase II, open-label, multicenter study of the efficacy and safety sequential administration of cycolophosphamide, vacristine, and prednisone (CVP) x6 cycles followed by tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab for previously untreated subjects with low-grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). CVP will be repeated every 21 days for a total of six cycles. tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab will begin within 56 days following the first day of the sixth cycle of CVP. Subjects will undergo two dosing phase for the tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab therapy. In the first phase, "dosimetric dose", patients will receive an infusion of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450mg) over 60 minutes followed by a 30 minute infusion (including a 10-minutes flush) of Anti-B1 (35mg) containing 5mCi of Iodine-131. Whole body gamma camera scans will be obtained on Day 0; Day 2, 3, or 4 and Day 6 or 7 following the dosimetric dose. Using the dosimetric data from three time points, a patient-specific dose of Iodine-131 will be calculated to deliver the desired total body dose of radiotherapy. In the second phase, termed the "therapeutic dose", patients will receive 60-minute infusion of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) followed by a 30-minute infusion (including a 10-minute flush) of 35 mg Anti-B1 Antibody labeled with the subjects -specific dose of Iodine-131 calculate to deliver a 75cGy total body radiation dose. Subjects who have platelet counts of 100,000-149,999 cells/mm3 will receive 65 cGy; obese patients will be dosed base upon 137% of their lean body mass. Subjects will be treated with saturated solution potassium iodide (SSKI), Lugol's solution, or potassium iodide tablets starting at least 24 hours prior to the first infusion of the tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab (i.e., the dosimetric dose) and continuing for 14 days following the least infusion of tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab (i.e., the therapeutic dose).

Total Body Residence Time (TBRT; Average Amount of Time TST Spends in the Body, Calculated From the Rate of TB Clearance of Radioactivity During the Dosimetric Dose [DD]) of Iodine 131 TST Antibody Following the DD	To determine TBRT, the percent-injected activity (PIA) is calculated from the background-corrected (BC) total body count (TBC) at D 0; D 2/3/4; and D 7. The time from the DD to the acquisition of whole body count (WBC) is then determined. The PIA remaining at each time point (TP) is then calculated by dividing the BC WBC for that TP by the BC WBC from the first TP (D 0) * 100. To determine RT, a best-fit line from 100% (pre-plotted D 0 value) through 2 plotted points (other TPs) is made. TBRT=the x-axis value at the point where the line intersects the horizontal 37% injected activity line.	Day (D) 0; D 2, 3, or 4; and D 6 or 7
