Interventions

Registration Number

Brief Summary

This is a single-arm, single-institution, phase II study of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody for patients with previously untreated, advanced-stage (stage III or IV) low-grade non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma. A total of 75-80 patients will be enrolled.

Patients will undergo two phases of the study. In the first phase, termed the "dosimetric dose", patients will receive an infusion of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) over 70 minutes (including a 10-minute flush) immediately followed by a 30-minute infusion (including a 10-minute flush) of Anti-B1 Antibody (35 mg) which has been trace-labeled with 5 mCi of Iodine-131. Whole body gamma camera scans will be obtained 5 to 8 times between Days 0 and 7 following the dosimetric dose. Using the dosimetric data from 3 imaging timepoints (the imaging timepoints to be used in decreasing order of preference depending on availability of data are Days 0, 3, and 7; Days 0, 4, and 7; Days 0, 3 and 6; Days 0, 4, and 6; Days 0, 2, and 7; and Days 0, 2, and 6), a patient-specific dose of Iodine- 131 to deliver the desired total body dose of radiotherapy will be calculated. In the second phase, termed the "therapeutic dose", patients will receive a 70-minute infusion (including a 10-minute flush) of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) immediately followed by a 30-minute infusion (including a 10-minute flush) of Anti-B1 Antibody (35 mg) labeled with the patient-specific dose of Iodine-131 to deliver a whole body dose of 75 cGy. Patients who are obese will be dosed based upon 137% of their calculated lean body mass. Patients will be treated with either saturated solution potassium iodide (SSKI), Lugol's solution, or potassium iodide tablets starting at least 24 hours prior to the first infusion of the Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody (i.e., dosimetric dose) and continuing for 14 days following the last infusion of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody (i.e., therapeutic dose).

The primary endpoint of the study is the determination of the response rate with Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody in previously untreated patients with low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The secondary endpoints include duration of response, safety, radiation dosimetry, and the predictive value of detection of the presence or absence minimal residual disease by molecular techniques on response duration.

Number of Participants With Resolution of All Baseline B-symptoms by the End of the StudyBaseline and up to 12 years (long-term follow up)

The Ann Arbor staging system of lymphomas is used to summarize the extent of the cancer's spread. Stages are classified by Roman numerals I (less spread) to IV (more spread). If the following symptoms (called B-symptoms) are present, a "B" classification is added to the stage: night sweats, intermittant fever, and weight loss. B-symptoms indicate the presence of systemic symptoms. The presence or absence of B-symptoms has prognostic significance and is reflected in the staging of these lymphomas.

PCR is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a piece of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Applications of PCR technique include: selective DNA isolation, amplification and quantification of DNA, and the diagnosis of diseases. PCR positive: interchromosomal translocation t(14;18) is present. PCR negative: t(14;18) is absent.

Initial Half-life (t1/2alpha)0-120 hours from the dosimetric dose (given only on Day 0) and 0-120 hours from the therapeutic dose (given only on Day 7)

t1/2 alpha is the estimated initial or alpha phase half-life in a two-compartmental pharmacokinetic model. Half-life measures how long it takes for the concentration of drug in the blood to decrease by half.

Terminal Half-life (t1/2beta)0-120 hours from the dosimetric dose (given only on Day 0) and 0-120 hours from the therapeutic dose (given only on Day 7)

t1/2 beta is the estimated terminal or beta phase half-life in a two-compartmental pharmacokinetic model. Half-life measures how long it takes for the concentration of drug in the blood to decrease by half.

Area Under the Curve (AUC) at 0 to 120 Hours and 0 to Infinity Hours0-120 hours and 0-infinity hours from the dosimetric dose (given only on Day 0) and 0-120 hours and 0-infinity hours from the therapeutic dose (given only on Day 7)

Area under the concentration-time curve for I-131 tositumomab from time 0 to 120 hours and time 0 to infinity hours (extrapolated) after the end of the dosimetric dose infusion was measured. Unit: %ID\*h/ml, where %ID/ml is the percentage of the injected dose per milliliter of blood. AUC measures how much drug is in the system over time after infusion.

Clearance Values0-120 hours from the dosimetric dose (given only on Day 0) and 0-120 hours from the therapeutic dose (given only on Day 7)

Clearance of I-131 tositumomab after intravenous administration was measured. The clearance of a drug measures the rate at which the drug is removed from the body after the dose.

Maximum Concentration (Cmax) Values0-120 hours from the dosimetric dose (given only on Day 0) and 0-120 hours from the therapeutic dose (given only on Day 7)

Cmax is the maximum observed I-131 tositumomab concentration from time zero (end of the dosimetric dose infusion) to 120 hours after the end of the infusion. Unit: %ID/ml, where %ID/ml is the percentage of the injected dose per milliliter of blood. Cmax is the highest drug concentration in the blood after infusion.

Volume of Distribution at Infusion Time 0 (Vd0) and Steady State (Vdss)0-120 hours from the dosimetric dose (given only on Day 0) and 0-120 hours from the therapeutic dose (given only on Day 7)

Volume of distribution at the start of infusion and at steady state of I-131 tositumomab. The volume of distribution measures how much the drug spreads through the body after the dose. Steady state is defined as that state at which the overall intake of a drug is fairly in dynamic equilibrium with its elimination.

Total Body Effective Half-life (EHL)0-120 hours from the dosimetric dose (given only on Day 0) and 0-120 hours from the therapeutic dose (given only on Day 7)

Total body EHL is the time required for a radioactive element in the body to be diminished by 50% as a result of radioactive decay and biologic elimination. The EHL is equal to the product of the biologic half-life (BHL) and the radioactive half-life (RHL) divided by the sum of the BHL and the RHL: EHL=(BHL \* RHL)/(BHL + RHL). BHL is the time it takes for a drug to lose half of its pharmacologic, physiologic, or radiologic activity. RHL is the time taken for half of the radioactive nuclei to decay.

Normal Organ Dosimetry for the Indicated Organs0-120 hours from the dosimetric dose (given only on Day 0) and 0-120 hours from the therapeutic dose (given only on Day 7)

Organ dosimetry was performed in participants using the kidneys, liver, lungs, spleen, red marrow, urinary bladder, and the remainder of the body as source organs. Organ doses and Iodine I-131 Anti-B1 Antibody biodistribution were comparable across the three Anti-B1 Antibody manufacturers. Gamma camera images of participants were used to calculate the amount of radiation that accumulated in the target tumor and normal organs (tumor/organ dosimetry). For the spleen (corrected) category, participant-specific corrections were made to account for individual spleen size.
