Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
No phase specifiedTreatmentCompletedAdultNCIMSKCC-04009
NCT00082836

Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the absorbed radiation doses of CNS lesions after administration of indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan (for imaging) in patients with recurrent primary CNS lymphoma.

Secondary

  1. Determine the safety of a therapeutic dose of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan in these patients.

Tertiary

  1. Determine the radiographic response in patients treated with this drug.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)
    • Recurrent disease
      • Isolated CNS relapse of systemic NHL allowed
    • Primary CNS lymphoma


  • Measurable gadolinium-enhancing lesion on MRI of the brain


  • No impaired bone marrow reserve


  • No hypocellular bone marrow


  • No marked reduction in bone marrow precursors of one or more cell lines (granulocytic, megakaryocytic, erythroid)


  • No pleural effusion


  • No chronic lymphocytic leukemia


  • No AIDS-related lymphoma


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy

  • No prior stem cell transplantation
  • No prior myeloablative therapies with autologous bone marrow transplantation or peripheral blood stem cell rescue
  • No prior failed stem cell collection
  • More than 2 weeks since prior filgrastim (G-CSF) or sargramostim (GM-CSF)

Chemotherapy

  • No more than 1 prior chemotherapy regimen

Endocrine therapy

  • Not specified

Radiotherapy

  • No prior radioimmunotherapy
  • No prior whole-brain radiotherapy
  • No prior external beam radiotherapy (involved field or regional) to > 25% of active bone marrow

Surgery

Patient Characteristics:

Age

Performance status

  • Not specified

Life expectancy

  • Not specified

Hematopoietic

  • Platelet count > 100,000/mm3
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3

Hepatic

  • Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL

Renal

  • Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL

Other

  • HIV negative

 [Note: *Results must be available prior to study entry for patients who received prior murine antibodies or proteins, other than rituximab]

Expected Enrollment

10

A total of 10 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Dosimetry at 1, 24, and 48 hours

Secondary Outcome(s)

Safety by NCI common toxicty criteria
Radiographic response at 1 and 3 months

Outline

Patients receive rituximab IV on day 1. Within 4 hours after rituximab administration, patients receive indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes. Patients then undergo whole body imaging. Patients whose dosimetry indicates that their CNS lesion would receive a sufficient radioimmunotherapy dose receive a therapeutic dose of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 20-30 minutes on day 7.

Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 2 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
