Study of Bexxar <Tositumomab> Combined With External Beam Radiation Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to assess the response rate of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade or transformed low-grade, CD20-positive, B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to Iodine-131 (I-131) tositumomab (Bexxar) therapy plus local palliative radiation therapy (XRT).

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Response will be assessed on the basis of the presence or absence of measurable lesion ≥ 1.4 x 1.4 cm (operationally defined as ≥ 2.0 cm2) by radiographic evaluation OR ≥ 1.0 cm in greatest diameter detected by palpation on physical exam

---|---|
Experimental: Tositumomab + XRT + KI Tositumomab + external beam radiotherapy (XRT) + potassium iodide (KI) |
Drug: Bexxar (tositumomab)
Tositumomab is a CD20-directed radiotherapeutic (131-iodine) monoclonal antibody indicated for the treatment of patients with CD20-positive, relapsed or refractory, low-grade, follicular, or transformed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who have progressed during or after rituximab therapy, including patients with rituximab-refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Tositumomab (standard regimen) will be administered at whole body exposure of 75 cGy.
Other Names:
Procedure: External beam radiotherapy (XRT)
Patient-specific XRT will begin within 24 hours of administration of the therapeutic dose of tositumomab. Subjects will receive local XRT to bulky sites of disease measuring at least 5 cm in at least one dimension. The size and number of fields to be treated will determined by the investigators, but will encompass the patient's most symptomatic/threatening site(s) of disease and not cumulatively include more than 25% of the active bone marrow. Subjects will be treated with the 2 x 2 Gy regimen (2 daily fractions of 2 Gy). Sites of disease previously-irradiated with 30 to 40 Gy will not be treated on this study.
Other Names:
Drug: Potassium Iodide (KI)
Potassium iodide (KI) will be administered as:
Saturated solution potassium iodide (SSKI) 4 drops orally 3-times-a-day,
Lugol's solution 20 drops orally 3-times-a-day, OR
KI tablets 130 mg orally once per day KI treatment will start at least 24 hours prior to tositumomab, and continue daily for 14 days following the last dose of tositumomab

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Complete Response (CR) Rate [12 weeks]
Participants assessed for by the following Complete Response (CR) criteria CR or Functional CR No evidence of disease and symptoms Any macroscopic nodules detected in any organs no longer present. Any palpable lymph node is normal and greatest diameter is < 1.0 cm. The enlarged organs decreased in size and not palpable The bone marrow biopsy and aspirate are negative for disease Negative for disease by PET-scan (functional CR) CR Unconfirmed (CRu) criteria No evidence of disease and symptoms Any lymph node mass > 1.0 cm^2 diameter has regressed is size by more than 75%. No macroscopic nodules in any organs Any palpable lymph node is normal and greatest diameter is < 1.0 cm. The bone marrow biopsy and aspirate are negative for disease The bone marrow biopsy may have increased number or size of lymphoid aggregates without cytologic or architectural atypia
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [12 weeks]
ORR is assessed as the sum of the overall rates of CR confirmed by positron emission tomography (PET) CR not confirmed by PET, and Partial response (PR) negative for progression by PET
- Time-to-Progression (TTP) [2 years]
