About this study

The goal of this study is to develop imaging based methods to accurately determine the energy absorbed (absorbed dose) by tumor tissue and bone marrow after radioimmunotherapy with I-131 tositumomab . The administration of the radioactive, iodine-131 labeled, monoclonal antibody I-131 tositumomab, (also known as Bexxar) is part of the patient's clinical treatment protocol. For the absorbed dose measurement, investigators at the University of Michigan are evaluating a new Nuclear Medicine SPECT/CT imaging system . This new camera combines a CT imaging system in addition to a Nuclear Medicine SPECT scanner. CT scans allow the doctors to see a high quality picture of your internal organs. The Nuclear Medicine SPECT scanner allows the doctors to see the uptake of the radioactive I-131 including the tumor sites. The improved imaging using the SPECT/CT enables more accurate calculation of the energy absorbed by tumor tissue and bone marrow. Using the results from these calculations and clinical follow up data, the researchers will investigate the relationship between the absorbed dose to the tumor and the patient's tumor response as well as the relationship between the absorbed dose to the bone marrow and the bone marrow toxicity. These relationships can potentially be used in the future by doctors to help determine how much radioactive I-131 to administer to each patient to get optimal results.

What participants receive

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

  • SPECT/CT imagingDevice

    Also called Siemens Symbia SPECT/CT system

    Patients will undergo scanning on the above system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between radiation absorbed dose to tumor and response or progression free survival

    Tumor absorbed doses will be calculated based on research SPECT/CT imaging and correlated with the response as assessed by clinical PET/CT.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess correlation between radiation absorbed dose to the bone marrow and hematologic toxicity.

    Absorbed dose will be determined by SPECT/CT imaging of the marrow rich lumbar region and will be correlated with toxicity based on follow-up blood counts.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by University of Michigan 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 18 May 2016. 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.

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?

Correlation between radiation absorbed dose to tumor and response or progression free survival (time frame: 6 months). 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 18 May 2016.
