About this study

Official title: Expanded Access Study of Iodine I 131 Tositumomab for Relapsed/Refractory Low-Grade and Transformed Low-Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This is a single arm, multi-center, expanded access study of Iodine I 131 Tositumomab (BEXXAR) therapeutic regimen for patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade or transformed low-grade non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma. The primary objective is to make Iodine I 131 Tositumomab more broadly available to patients. Secondary endpoints will be to obtain additional safety and efficacy information for this treatment regimen. Post study drug administration follow-ups will continue for up to ten years. These will include blood-work and adverse event assessments for 13 weeks post dosing, patient response evaluations at Week 13, Months 6, 12, 18, 24, and Long-Term Follow-ups every 6 months until the elapse of 5 years from the dosimetric dose and then annually thereafter through year 10. Thyroid function will be monitored annually during Long-term follow-up.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Iodine I 131 Tositumomab Therapeutic RegimenBiological

    Patients will receive unlabeled Tositumomab (450 mg) followed by Tositumomab (35 mg) which has been trace-labeled with 5 mCi of Iodine-131 (dosimetric dose). Whole body counts using a gamma camera will be obtained 3 times between Days 0 and 7 following the dosimetric dose to determine a patient-specific mCi dose of Iodine-131 calculated to deliver the desired total body dose of radiation (either 65 cGy or 75 cGy). The therapeutic dose is administered 7-14 days after the dosimetric dose. Patients will receive unlabeled Tositumomab (450 mg) followed by Tositumomab (35 mg) labeled with the patient-specific dose of Iodine-131 (median dose in previous studies was approximately 85 mCi). Patients who are obese will be dosed based upon 137% of their calculated lean body mass. Patients will be treated with thyroid blocking medication at least 24 hours prior to the dosimetric dose and continuing for 14 days following the therapeutic dose.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Unconfirmed Response (Complete Response or Partial Response) and Unconfirmed Complete Response

    A participant was defined as a responder if he/she sustained a complete response (CR: the disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and all disease-related symptoms) or partial response (PR: greater than or equal to a 50% decrease in the sum of the product of perpendicular diameter [SPPD] determined at Baseline; no increase in the size of the other nodes, liver, or spleen; no new sites of disease). Response was evaluated by an investigator per guidelines developed by The International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

    Measured: From randomization until the first documented complete response or partial response (up to 161 months)

  2. Number of Participants With Confirmed Response (Complete Response or Partial Response) and Confirmed Complete Response

    A participant was defined as a responder if he/she sustained a complete response (CR: the disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and all disease-related symptoms) or partial response (PR: greater than or equal to a 50% decrease in the sum of the product of perpendicular diameter [SPPD] determined at Baseline; no increase in the size of the other nodes, liver, or spleen; no new sites of disease). Response was evaluated by an investigator per guidelines developed by The International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. A confirmed response (CR and PR) requires that the response be confirmed by another response (same or better) at least 4 weeks apart.

    Measured: From randomization until the first documented complete response or partial response (up to 161 months)

  3. Duration of Response for Participants With Unconfirmed Response (CR+PR)

    Duration of response is defined as the time from the first documented CR (the disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and all disease-related symptoms) or PR (greater than or equal to a 50% decrease in the SPPD determined at Baseline; no increase in the size of the other nodes, liver, or spleen; no new sites of disease) until disease progression (PD). PD is defined as greater than or equal to a 50% increase from nadir in the SPPD for all measurable disease. Lesion changes believed to represent measurement variation associated with radiographic technique should not be classified as PD. Response was evaluated by an investigator per guidelines developed by the International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

    Measured: From the time of the first documented response (CR or PR) until disease progression (up to 161 months)

  4. Duration of Response for Participants With Confirmed Response (CR+PR)

    Duration of response is defined as the time from the first documented CR (the disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and all disease-related symptoms) or PR (greater than or equal to a 50% decrease in the SPPD determined at Baseline; no increase in the size of the other nodes, liver, or spleen; no new sites of disease) until disease progression (PD). PD is defined as greater than or equal to a 50% increase from nadir in the SPPD for all measurable disease. Lesion changes believed to represent measurement variation associated with radiographic technique should not be classified as PD. Response was evaluated by an investigator per guidelines developed by the International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. A confirmed response (CR and PR) requires that the response be confirmed by another response (same or better) at least 4 weeks apart.

    Measured: From the time of the first documented response (CR or PR) until disease progression (up to 161 months)

  5. Duration of Response (DOR) in Unconfirmed Complete Responders

    DOR is defined as the time from the first documented response to the first documented disease progression. Unconfirmed CR is defined as the disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and all disease-related symptoms. Response was evaluated by an investigator per guidelines developed by The International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

    Measured: From the time of the first documented unconfirmed CR until PD (up to 161 months)

  6. Duration of Response (DOR) in Confirmed Complete Responders

    DOR is defined as the time from the first documented response to the first documented disease progression. CR is defined as the disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and all disease-related symptoms. A confirmed response (CR and PR) requires that the response be confirmed by another response (same or better) at least 4 weeks apart.

    Measured: From the time of the first documented CR until PD (up to 161 months)

  7. Time to Progression or Death

    Time to progression is defined as the time from the treatment start date to the first documented incidence of disease progression (PD) or death. PD is defined as greater than or equal to a 50% increase from nadir in the SPPD for all measurable disease. Lesion changes believed to represent measurement variation associated with radiographic technique should not be classified as PD.

    Measured: From the treatment start date to the first documented incidence of disease progression (PD) or death (up to 161 months)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to Treatment Failure

    Time to treatment failure is defined as the time from the date of the dosimetric dose to the first occurrence of the following: treatment withdrawal, decision to seek additional therapy, study removal, disease progression, receipt of alternative therapy for lymphoma, or death study withdrawal for any reason. Participants withdrawn for reasons other than progression or death were censored at their date of withdrawal.

    Measured: From the dosimetric dose to the first occurrence of the following: treatment withdrawal, decision to seek additional therapy, study removal, disease progression, receipt of alternative therapy, or death (up to 161 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Iodine I 131 Tositumomab Therapeutic Regimen in people with Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. 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 9 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Dec 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Unconfirmed Response (Complete Response or Partial Response) and Unconfirmed Complete Response (time frame: From randomization until the first documented complete response or partial response (up to 161 months)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 9 Jan 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
