Brief summary:
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding Zevalin (ibritumomab tiuxetan) to low-intensity chemotherapy (the combination of rituximab, bendamustine, and fludarabine), followed by an allogeneic stem cell transplant, can help to control lymphoma. The safety of this combination will also be studied.

Two (2) forms of ibritumomab tiuxetan will be used in this study. 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan is designed to attach to lymphoma cells and destroy the cells using a radioactive particle that is attached to it. 111In-ibritumomab tiuxetan is like 90Y- ibritumomab tiuxetan, but the radioactive particle that is attached to it does not kill lymphoma cells. The radioactive particle makes the drug able to be seen inside your body. It is being used in this study to predict how fast the study drug will travel in the body and how long the drug stays in the body.

Rituximab is designed to attach to lymphoma cells, which may cause them to die.

Bendamustine is designed to damage and destroy the DNA (genetic material) of cancer cells.

Fludarabine is designed to make cancer cells less able to repair damaged DNA. This may increase the likelihood of the cells dying.

Detailed description:
Study Drug Administration and Procedures:

The chemotherapy, some of the other drugs in this study, and the stem cell transplant will be given by vein through your central venous catheter (CVC). A central venous catheter is a sterile flexible tube that will be placed into a large vein while you are under local anesthesia and will remain in your body during treatment. Your doctor will explain this procedure to you in more detail, and you will be required to sign a separate consent form. Blood samples will also be drawn through the CVC.

On Days -22 (22 days before you receive the stem cell transplant), you will receive rituximab by vein over 3-4 hours. You will then receive 111In-ibritumomab tiuxetan by vein over 30 minutes.

From Day -22 through Day -16, you will have scans called whole-body planar scintigraphy imaging. In these scans, a special camera will capture 2-dimensional images of the whole body to see where the radioactive 111In- ibritumomab tiuxetan that was injected on Day -22 has spread. No additional radiation will be used in this scan. Scintigraphy will be performed right after the injection, then 3-6 hours after the injection, then 24, 72, and 144 hours (+/- 2 hours) after the injection.

After the last scintigraphy imaging scan, the scans will be reviewed to learn how much radiation has traveled to different organs and to decide how much 90Y- ibritumomab should be used.

On Day-14, you will receive rituximab by vein over 3-4 hours. You will then receive the calculated dose of 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan by vein over 30 minutes.

On Days -5, -4, and -3, you will receive fludarabine and bendamustine by vein over 1 hour each day.

On Days -3 through Day 100, if your stem cells are from cord blood, you will receive mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) by vein or by mouth. MMF is designed to block the donor cells from growing and spreading in a way that could cause graft versus host disease (GVHD -- a condition in which transplanted tissue attacks the recipient's body).

Starting on Day -2, if your stem cells are from a related or matched unrelated donor, you will receive tacrolimus by vein as a continuous (nonstop) infusion until you are able to take it by mouth to help prevent GVHD. You will then take tacrolimus by mouth 2 times a day for about 3 months. After that, your tacrolimus dose may be lowered if you do not have GVHD. Your doctor will discuss this with you.

On Days -2 and -1, if your stems cells are from a matched unrelated donor or from cord blood, you will receive thymoglobulin (ATG) by vein over about 4 hours. ATG is designed to weaken your immune system to reduce the risk of rejecting of the transplant.

On Day 0, you will receive the blood stem cells by vein over about 30-45 minutes. Blood (less than 1 teaspoon) will also be drawn to measure how much (if any) radiation from the 90Y- ibritumomab tiuxetan is left in the blood.

Starting on Day 0, if your stem cells are from cord blood, you will receive filgrastim (G-CSF) through a needle under the skin 1 time a day every day until your white blood count begins to recover. G-CSF is designed to help cells in the bone marrow to divide, which helps raise white blood cells counts more quickly, lower fever, and decrease the risk of infection.

On Days 1, 3, and 6, if your stem cells are from a related or matched unrelated donor, you will receive methotrexate over 30 minutes each day by vein to help prevent GVHD. Patients receiving a matched unrelated donor will also be given methotrexate on Day 11 after the transplant.

Starting on Day 7, if your stem cells are from a related or matched unrelated donor, you will receive G-CSF through a needle under the skin 1 time a day every day until your white blood count begins to recover.

When your doctor thinks they are needed, you will also receive antibiotics and antifungal drugs to help prevent and/or treat infections. Your doctor will tell you more about how these drugs are given and possible side effects.

You will be in the hospital for about 3-4 weeks after you receive the stem cell transplant. During this time, the following tests and procedures will be performed at any point that your doctor thinks they are needed:

* You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and breathing rate).
* You will be asked about how you are feeling and about any side effects you may be having.
* Blood (about 4-6 teaspoons) will be collected for routine tests, to check your kidney and liver function, and to learn if and how well the transplant is working.

The following may also be performed if at any point the doctor thinks they are needed:

* You may have imaging scans to check the status of the disease and/or to check for possible infections.
* You may have a bone marrow biopsy to check the status of the disease. To collect a bone marrow biopsy, an area of the hip or other site is numbed with anesthetic, and a small amount of bone marrow and bone is withdrawn through a needle.
* You may have transfusions of blood and/or platelets.

You must stay in the Houston area for about 100 days after the stem cell transplant.

Long-Term Follow-Up:

About 3, 6, and 12 months after the stem cell transplant:

* Blood (about 6 teaspoons) will be collected for routine tests, to check kidney and liver function, and to see how well the transplant has taken.
* You will have CT and PET scans to check the status of the disease.
* You will have a bone marrow biopsy/aspirate to check the status of the disease.

About 2 and 3 years after the stem cell transplant, you will receive a phone call that will take less than 10 minutes to learn how you are doing.

Length of Study:

You will be on study for up to about 3 years. You may be taken off study early if the disease gets worse, if you have any intolerable side effects, of if you are unable to follow study directions.

You should talk to the study doctor if you want to leave the study early. If you are taken off study early, you still may need to return for routine post-transplant follow-up visits, if your transplant doctor decides it is needed. It may be life-threatening to leave the study after you have begun to receive the study drugs but before you receive the stem cells.

This is an investigational study. Ibritumomab tiuxetan, rituximab, bendamustine, and fludarabine are FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of lymphoma. The dose of ibritumomab tiuxetan in this study is designed to be higher than the FDA approved dose. The use of ibritumomab tiuxetan and bendamustine in combination with the other study drugs and a stem cell transplant for the treatment of lymphoma is investigational.

Up to 20 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Abstract
Objectives:
Primary Objectives:
1)  To characterize the safety of yttrium-90 ibritumumab tiuxetan calculated to deliver up 
to 10 Gy to critical organs, when administered in conjunction with fludarabine and 
bendamustine as non-myeloablative preparative regimen for allogeneic stem cell 
transplantation
 
Secondary Objectives:
1)  To estimate the efficacy of this strategy (overall survival and event-free survival) in 
patients with b-cell lymphoid malignancies
2)  To determine survival rates by histology subtype
3)  To correlate blood radioactivity level and time to neutrophil and platelet recovery
Rationale: (Be as concise as possible)
Allogeneic non-myleoblative stem cell transplantation (NST) with fludarabine 
bendamustine and rituximab has been a successful strategy for patients with 
lymphomas and CLL who had a chemosensitive relapse (Protocol 2008-0246). Results, 
however, need to be improved upon in patients who had refractory disease or are in

kinetic failure at the time of transplantation. Intensification of the preparative regimen 
has been associated with increased toxicity with no improvement in outcomes. 
Immunomanipulation with donor lymphocytes or rapid immune suppression withdrawal 
has been associated with an increased risk of graft-versus-host disease without 
documented improvement in survival.
The anti-CD20 radioimmunoconjugates (RIC) (
90Y) ibritumomab tiuxetan and iodine-131 
(
131I) tositumomab produce durable remissions in previously treated patients who have 
relapsed or refractory, low-grade, follicular or transformed lymphoma. The standard 
dose of (
90Y) ibritumomab tiuxetan is based on weight and is equal to 0.4 mCi/kg. 
Protocol (ID01-233), involving the use of this radiolabeled antibody together with 
fludarabine and cyclophosphamide as NST conditioning, has shown adequate 
engraftment and time to  recovery of counts. Results also suggest that the addition of 
RIC can overcome the negative prognostic impact of PET+ in NST transplantation, and 
that it can be curative for patients with refractory, relapsed follicular lymphoma.
 Results 
remained suboptimal, however for patients with other histologies, such as mantle cell 
and diffuse large cell lymphoma.  Optimizing drug delivery may improve outcomes.
Because myelosuppression is the major toxicity of anti-CD20 RICs, they are ideal 
candidates for dose-escalation with stem cell support. Phase I/II studies have 
demonstrated that anti-CD20 RICs may be dose escalated with limited toxicity and that 
higher radiation doses are associated with improved clinical outcomes.
Conventional, therapeutic-dose 
131 tositumomab or (
90Y) ibritumomab tiuxetan has been 
added to the most commonly used high-dose chemotherapy program (i.e., carmustine, 
etoposide, cytarbine, melphalan [BEAM]) to intensify the regimen for NHL, but the 
combination has not been shown to be superior to high dose BEAM alone. More 
recently, the RIC was combined with BEAM
  with the goal of administering the highest 
possible dose of RIC without increasing toxicity. 
The dose of RIC was patient-specific, was based on dosimetry rather than weight, and 
was calculated to deliver cohort-defined  radiation-absorbed doses (RADs) to critical 
organs, excluding bone marrow and spleen. Fifteen Gy proved to be the 
maximum-tolerated RAD to critical organs. When doses were calculated according to 
weight, there was considerable variability among patients, which justified the 
dosimetry-based approach. Patient specific activity doses calculated to deliver a 
cohort-defined RAD to the critical organ varied widely. For example, the (90Y) 
ibritumomab tiuxetan doses administered to deliver an estimated 15 Gy to the liver in six 
patients ranged from 0.50 to 1.39 mCi/kg. Although eight patients safely received doses 
of 0.8 mCi/kg or greater, a weight-based strategy at twice the conventional 0.4 mCi/kg 
dose would have resulted in a wide range of RAD (median, 13 Gy; range, 4 to 31). 
Forty-four patients were treated. 
Thirty percent of patients had achieved less than a partial remission to their most recent 
therapy and would not have been eligible for autologous transplantation at most 
centers. Results were encouraging with an estimated 3-year PFS and Os rates of 43%

rituximab. 
111In Ibritumumab may be directly infused by stopping the flow from the IV bag 
and injecting the radiolabeled antibody directly into the line. A 0.22 micron filter must be 
on line between the patient and the infusion port. The line will be flushed with at least 10 
mL normal saline after 
111In Ibritumumab has been infused. 
D-22, -21 to -16, Imaging. Planar scintigraphy whole-body imaging will be started on 
D-22 post  
111In Ibritumumab infusion prior to voiding. Imaging will be repeated 3-6 hours 
later.  Whole-body planar scintigraphy imaging will be repeated between 22-26 hours, 
then between 70-74 hours, and later between 142-146 hours post 
111In Ibritumumab 
injection.  
D-15, Dosimetry. This trial requires patient-specific activities of (
90Y) ibritumumab 
tiuxetan to deliver a maximum radiation-absorbed dose (RAD) of 10 Gy to vital organs, 
including liver, lungs, and kidneys. The methodology for estimating the RAD will be 
based on quantitative whole-body planar (2D) radionuclide imaging of (
111In) 
ibritumumab tiuxetan pretreatment diagnostic tracer at multiple time points (5 in this 
proposal). The time-activity curves (TAC) of radiopharmaceutical uptake for different 
organs will be calculated and used as input to the FDA-approved OLINDA/EXM 1.1 
model-based internal radionuclide dosimetry software for calculation of 
radiation-absorbed dose to critical organs. The RAD estimates will be corrected for 
critical organ mass that will be calculated from CT-based volume measurements. 
D-14, (
90Y) ibritumumab tiuxetan Administration. (
90Y) ibritumumab tiuxetan will be given 
post rituximab, as described above.  While each patient will be receiving a mCi/kg 
Zevalin dosage based on patient-specific radiation dosimetry, an attempt to homogenize 
the dosage will be undertaken.  For this purpose, the dosage will be rounded to one of 
the following values:  0.5 mCi/kg, 0.75 mCi/kg, 1.0 mCi/kg, 1.25 mCi/kg, 1.5mCi/kg.  
 
Each patient’s dosage will be rounded to the highest mCi/kg level that maintains the 
absorbed dose estimated from the dosimetry nearest, but not below 10 Gy to the critical 
organs (liver, lungs and kidneys). Dose will not be allowed to exceed 12 Gy to critical 
organs, as this has been shown in a previous published study to be well tolerated by 
those organs without additional toxicity.  If the dose nearest to but not below 10 Gy 
exceeds 12 Gy, the patient will be treated at the mCi/kg one level below. Patients who 
would be estimated to receive > 12 Gy to any of the critical organs at the 0.5 mCi/kg 
level will be treated at standard dosage (0.4 mCi/kg up to 32 mCi).
D-5, -4 and -3, Fludarabine and Bendamustine will be administered following SCT&CT 
department standard practice. These will be dosed per adjusted body weight for 
patients weighing > 20% above their ideal body weight.  For patients less than or equal 
to 20% above their ideal body weight, the actual body weight is used.
Fludarabine will be administrated at a dose of 30 mg/m2 intravenously followed by 
Bendamustine at a dose of 130 mg/m
2  intravenously.

Optional Research Blood Samples:
D0, Measurement of Peripheral-Blood Radioactivity. A peripheral blood sample will be 
obtained prior to stem cell transplantation on D0 for measurement of residual (
90Y) 
radioactivity level in the blood. 
Duplicate, 1.0-mL whole-blood aliquots will be drawn on day 0.  A 1.0 mL ( 
90Y) standard 
will be prepared from a decayed, known, (
90Y) activity sample prepared on day -14. 
Blood, standard, and background samples will each be counted for 1 minute with a wide 
energy window in a thallium-doped sodium iodide crystal gamma scintillation well 
counter interfaced to a multichannel analyzer. After background correction, patient 
blood sample results will be expressed as mean microCi (
90Y)/mL in whole blood.
Supportive Treatment. All patients will receive Graft Versus Host Disease (GvHD) 
prophylaxis, infections disease prophylaxis, growth factors, blood and platelet 
transfusion and other supportive treatment as per standard practice in patients receiving 
allogeneic transplant.

Statistical Considerations:
Statistical section - patient sample size and analysis plan:
This is a Phase II study of high-dose (
90Y) ibritumumab tiuxetan added to fludarabine 
and bendamustine in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation.  The study will enroll 
a maximum of 20 patients. Patients will be enrolled in one of three histologies: follicular 
+ other indolent histologies, mantle-cell lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.  
We wish to ensure that at least 10 patients are enrolled in each histology.  With a true 
incidence rate of 25%, the probability that we enroll at least 10 out of 20 patients in a 


2011-0393

particular histology is greater than 95%. 
The primary endpoint of the protocol is safety and feasibility. Several studies, including 
protocol ID01-233 (ASH 2011, abstract 662) are showing a similar safety profile 
between matched sibling and matched unrelated donor transplants. We believe that the 
safety profile will be similar in this study as well. However, we will report the results 
within each category, and we have added as a secondary analysis that we will repeat 
the primary analyses of event-free and overall survival stratified by transplant graft 
source.
Monitoring:
Two statistical monitoring rules are used to monitor the rate of TRM in all patients and 
the rate of engraftment failure/acute grade 4 GVHD in patients who receive a cord blood 
transplant.
TRM (All Patients):
We will use the method of Thall, Simon, and Estey to monitor the TRM rate in all 
patients within the first 100 days during the course of the trial.  We will assume a 
Beta(0.40, 1.60) prior distribution for the 100-day TRM rate, which has a mean of 20%.
The following decision rule will be used: stop accrual if at any time during the course of 
the trial 
Pr{100-day TRM rate > 20% | data from patients evaluated} > 0.975
In other words, if at any time during the study we determine that there is at least a 
97.5% chance that the 100-day TRM rate is at greater than 20%, we will stop enrollment 
into the study.  For logistical reasons, patients will be monitored in cohorts of 5.  
Stopping boundaries corresponding to this probability criterion are as follows: stop if:
[# of patients with TRM at day 100/ # of patients evaluated at day 100]
>/= 4/5, 6/10, 7/15, or 9/20
The operating characteristics for this rule are found in the table below.  If the true 
100-day TRM rate is less than the maximum targeted rate of 20%, the trial will stop 
early less than 6% of the time.
Engraftment Failure/Acute Grade 4 GVHD (Cord Blood Patients):

Abstract - Page 9
Because patients who receive a transplant from umbilical cord blood are at higher risk 
of engraftment failure and GVHD, we will also monitor the rate of engraftment failure or 
acute grade 4 GVHD in these patients.  We expect no more than 10 patients will receive 
a cord blood transplant.
We will use the method of Thall, Simon, and Estey to monitor the combined engraftment 
failure/grade 4 acute GVHD rate in cord blood patients within the first 100 days during 
the course of the trial.  We will assume a Beta(0.60, 1.40) prior distribution for the 
100-day rate, which has a mean of 30%.
The following decision rule will be used: stop accrual in cord blood patients if at any time 
during the course of the trial 
Pr{100-day engraftment failure/grade 4 acute GVHD rate > 20% | 
data from cord blood patients evaluated} > 0.975
In other words, if at any time during the study we determine that there is at least a 
97.5% chance that the 100-day engraft failure/grade 4 acute GVHD rate is greater than 
20%, we will stop enrollment into cord blood patients.  Stopping boundaries 
corresponding to this probability criterion are as follows: stop if:
[# of cord blood patients with engraft failure or grade 4 acute GVHD at day 100/ 
# of cord blood patients evaluated at day 100]
>/= 3/3, 5/6, 6/8, 7/10, 8/12, 9/14, 10/17, or 11/19
