Conditions:   Lymphoma
Purpose:   RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving rituximab together with yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan works in treating patients with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Study Summary:   OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine 12-week overall and complete response rate in patients with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan as first-line treatment. Secondary - Determine 1-year event-free survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine time to progression and time to next antilymphoma therapy in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the molecular response rate in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the hematological and non-hematological toxicity of this regimen in these patients. - Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients receive rituximab IV followed, no more than 4 hours later, by indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan (for imaging) IV over 10 minutes on day 1. If biodistribution is acceptable, patients receive rituximab IV followed, no more than 4 hours later, by a single dose of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on day 7, 8, or 9 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, weeks 6, 10, and 14, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 2 years. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed weekly for 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 2 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-28 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
Criteria:   DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: - Histologically confirmed indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), including 1 of the following histologic subtypes: - Grade1 or 2 follicular lymphoma - Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) - Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma - CD20-positive disease confirmed by immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry - Bidimensionally measurable disease - At least 1 lesion measuring ≥ 2.0 cm in a single dimension by CT scan - Less than 25% bone marrow involvement with lymphoma by bilateral iliac crest bone marrow aspiration and biopsy within the past 6 weeks - No clinically significant impaired bone marrow reserve as evidenced by any of the following: - Hypocellular marrow, as evidenced by 1 of the following: - ≤ 15% cellularity - Marked reduction in bone marrow precursors - Platelet count < 100,000/mm^3 - Absolute neutrophil count < 1,500/mm^3 - History of failed stem cell collection - Prior myeloablative therapy - No greater than 5,000/mm^3 circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood - Requires antilymphoma therapy, as indicated by any of the following: - Systemic symptoms - B symptoms - Cytopenias - Malaise - Organ compromise - Discomfort - Pain - Disfigurement - Rapidly progressive disease - Undue anxiety related to not receiving treatment - No transformation to intermediate or high-grade NHL - No known brain metastases or CNS involvement by lymphoma NOTE: A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.
