Trial summary

RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies such as yttrium Y90 ibritumomab tiuxetan can locate cancer cells and deliver radioactive cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial Combining IDEC-Y2B8 And High-Dose Beam Chemotherapy With Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplant In Patients With Relapsed Or Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies such as yttrium Y90 ibritumomab tiuxetan can locate cancer cells and deliver radioactive cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining yttrium Y90 ibritumomab tiuxetan and chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well giving yttrium Y90 ibritumomab tiuxetan with high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, in terms of absorbed radiation to critical organs, when administered with high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • Determine whether the residual radioactivity detected at the time of stem cell reinfusion affects the reinfused cells and delays engraftment in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the duration of response and survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (IDEC-Y2B8).

  • Radioimmunotherapy: Patients receive rituximab IV followed by indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan (for imaging) IV over 10 minutes on day -22. Patients then receive rituximab IV and IDEC-Y2B8 IV over 10 minutes on day -14.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of IDEC-Y2B8 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 3 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

  • High-dose conditioning regimen: Patients receive BEAM chemotherapy comprising carmustine IV over 2 hours on day -6, etoposide IV over 2 hours twice daily and cytarabine IV over 1 hour twice daily on days -5 to -2, and melphalan IV over 1 hour on day -1.
  • Autologous stem cell transplantation: Autologous peripheral blood stem cells are reinfused on day 0. Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily beginning on day 0 and continuing until blood counts recover.

Patients are followed at 30 days, 3 and 6 months, and then annually for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 42 patients will be accrued for this study.

Etoposide is given at a dose of 100 mg/m2 intravenous infusion over a 2 hour period every 12 hours on treatment days -5, -4, -3, and -2, for a total of 8 doses (Day 0 = stem cell transplant).

  • melphalanDrug

    Part of high dose BEAM chemotherapy given on study (a combination of carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan). Melphalan is given at a dose of 140 mg/m2 as an intravenous infusion over a 1 hour period on treatment day -1 (Day 0 = stem cell transplant).

  • peripheral blood stem cell transplantationProcedure or surgery

    On day 0, a minimum of 2.0 X 106 CD34+ cells/kg unselected peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) will be reinfused following institutional guidelines for the reinfusion procedure.

  • yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetanRadiation

    Patients will receive 90Y2B8 at a variable dose on treatment day -14 (Day 0 = stell cell transplant). The initial dose calculated to deliver no more than 100 cGy to critical organs (liver, lung). Doses will be escalated based on cohort of enrollment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of absorbed radiation to critical organs delivered with this combination of study treatments

    Dose limiting toxicities observed during and up to 30 days after the last study treatment resulting in the determination of the maximum tolerated dose of absorbed radiation to critical organs delivered by Y2B8 in combination with high-dose BEAM chemotherapy with autologous mobilized peripheral blood progenitor cell transplant

    Measured: From first study treatment until 30 days after last study treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing filgrastim, rituximab and Carmustine in people with Lymphoma, run by Northwestern University at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of absorbed radiation to critical organs delivered with this combination of study treatments (time frame: From first study treatment until 30 days after last study treatment.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00058292, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2012.
