Interventions

  • 90Y Ibritumomab tiuxetan — DRUG
    2 x iv infusions of 11.1 MBq/kg. 1st infusion at week 1, 2nd during weeks 9-13. 2nd infusion may be reduced to 7.4MBq/kg in the case of grade 3 haematological toxicity following the 1st infusion.
  • Rituximab — DRUG
    All patients receive 2 x iv infusions of 250 mg/m2 Rituximab given 7-8 days apart prior to each zevalin infusion. The 2nd rituximab infusion is given immediately prior to Zevalin. In addition patients with greater than 20% bone marrow involvement at screening receive rituximab pretreatment prior to entering the main treatment phase of the trial, consisting of 4 x weekly iv doses of rituximab(375 mg/m2). This is followed by a repeat bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow involvement must have fallen to \<= 20% to enter the main treatment phase of the trial.

Study Details

90Y Ibritumomab tiuxetan (zevalin) has demonstrated consistently high response rates in patients who have received previous treatment for lymphoma. More than two-thirds of the patients who achieve CR go on to experience durable remissions lasting for years. Despite these highly promising clinical results with radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in relapsed follicular lymphoma there is very little data using RIT in previously untreated follicular lymphoma. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two fractions of Zevalin in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma in a Phase II study.
