iodine i 131 tositumomab or yttrium y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan in treating patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma

Conditions: Lymphoma

Summary: rationale: radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine i 131 tositumomab and yttrium y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. this may be an effective treatment for non-hodgkin's lymphoma. purpose: this clinical trial is studying the side effects, best dose, and how well iodine i 131 tositumomab or yttrium y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan works in treating patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma.

objectives: primary * determine the relationship between estimated absorbed dose and tumor response using different dosimetric methodologies in patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma treated with iodine i 131 tositumomab or yttrium y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan. * determine the relationship between estimated absorbed dose and normal organ toxicity using different dosimetric methodologies in these patients. secondary * assess the difference in the dose-response relationship between dosimetric methodologies in these patients. * assess the influence of prior therapy on the dose-response relationship for hematologic toxicity in these patients. outline: patients are stratified according to planned radioimmunotherapy treatment (iodine i 131 tositumomab vs yttrium y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan). * stratum 1: patients receive dosimetric rituximab iv followed by indium in 111 (\^111in) ibritumomab tiuxetan iv over 10 minutes on day 1. patients undergo positron emission tomography (pet)/ct scans and single-photon emission computed tomography (spect)/ct scans between 2-24, 48-72, and 90-120 hours after \^111in ibritumomab tiuxetan administration. patients who have acceptable biodistribution receive therapeutic rituximab iv followed by yttrium y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan iv over 10 minutes between days 7-9. * stratum 2: patients receive dosimetric tositumomab iv over 60 minutes followed by iodine i 131 (\^131i) tositumomab iv over 20 minutes on day 0. patients undergo pet/ct scans and spect/ct scans on days 0; 2, 3 or 4; and 6 or 7. patients who have acceptable biodistribution receive therapeutic tositumomab iv over 60 minutes followed by \^131i tositumomab iv over 20 minutes on approximately day 7. in both strata, blood is collected at baseline to measure flt-3 levels. all patients also undergo a baseline pet/ct scan. after completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months thereafter. projected accrual: a total of 88 patients will be accrued for this study.

Eligibility criteria:
disease characteristics: * diagnosis of non-hodgkin's lymphoma * measurable disease by ct scan or nuclear medicine imaging * eligible, by standard of care criteria, for iodine i 131 tositumomab or yttrium y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan treatment patient characteristics: * no other malignancy within the past 3 years except basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix * not pregnant or nursing * fertile patients must use effective contraception * no alcoholism or drug abuse within the past 2 years * no severe emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric problems that would limit study compliance prior concurrent therapy: * no concurrent participation in another investigational drug study
