About this study

Official title: Study of Bexxar <Tositumomab> Combined With External Beam Radiation Therapy for Patients With Relapsed, Bulky Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

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).

Read the 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

Being tested
Bexxar (tositumomab), External beam radiotherapy (XRT), Potassium Iodide (KI)
Medical subject headings
Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin

What participants receive

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

  • Bexxar (tositumomab)Drug

    Also called 131-iodine 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.

  • External beam radiotherapy (XRT)Procedure or surgery

    Also called Radiotherapy (RT)

    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.

  • Potassium Iodide (KI)Drug

    Also called Saturated Solution Potassium Iodide (SSKI), Lugol's solution, Potassium iodide tablets

    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

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete Response (CR) Rate

    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

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    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

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Time-to-Progression (TTP)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bexxar (tositumomab), External beam radiotherapy (XRT) and Potassium Iodide (KI) in people with Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by Stanford University at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 22 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 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 29 Mar 2017). 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?

Complete Response (CR) Rate (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 29 Mar 2017.
