About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Zevalin (90Y-Ibritumomab Tiuxetan) in Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma)

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan and rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver radioactive cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan in treating patients who have Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan in patients with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.
  • Determine, preliminarily, the response of patients treated with this drug.

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

Patients receive rituximab IV and indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan (IDEC-In2B8) IV over 10 minutes on day 1. Patients then undergo gamma camera scans within 2-24 hours. Approximately 7-14 days after IDEC-In2B8, patients receive rituximab IV and IDEC-Y2B8 IV over 10 minutes. Treatment with IDEC-Y2B8 may repeat every 12 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or the achievement of a maximum cumulative dose.

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 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 4 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-24 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan in people with Lymphoma, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 was stopped early (reason given: no accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Jan 2013.
