    Abstract: Relapsed mantle cell lymphoma is a radiation-sensitive malignancy that is unlikely to be cured by treatment with conventional high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. We tested the safety and efficacy of using a CD20-specific monoclonal antibody conjugated with 131I to deliver high-dose radiation selectively to all lymphoma sites. Patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma received infusions of 131I-labeled CD20-specific monoclonal antibody (Tositumomab). The antibody dose was 1.7 mg/kg body weight, and the amount of 131I was calibrated to deliver 20 to 25 Gy to vital normal organs. This treatment was followed 10 days later by administration of high-dose etoposide (30-60 mg/kg), cyclophosphamide (60-100 mg/kg), and infusion of cryopreserved autologous stem cells. The 16 patients in this study had received a median of 3 prior treatments, and 7 had chemotherapy-resistant disease. The median dose of 131I was 510 mCi (18.87 GBq). There were no therapy-related deaths. Among the 11 patients with conventionally measurable disease at the time of treatment, the respective complete and overall response rates were 91% and 100%. Fifteen patients remain alive, and 12 have had no progression of lymphoma at 6 to 57 months from transplantation and 16 to 97 months from diagnosis. Overall survival at 3 years from transplantation is estimated at 93%, and progression-free survival is estimated at 61%. High-dose treatment with 131I-Tositumomab, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide results in a high remission rate and may provide long-term disease-free survival for patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

    Abstract: Relapsed B-cell lymphomas are incurable with conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy, although a fraction of patients can be cured with high-dose chemoradiotherapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). We conducted a phase I/II trial to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of iodine 131 (131I)–tositumomab (anti-CD20 antibody) that could be combined with etoposide and cyclophosphamide followed by ASCT in patients with relapsed B-cell lymphomas. Fifty-two patients received a trace-labeled infusion of 1.7 mg/kg 131I-tositumomab (185-370 MBq) followed by serial quantitative gamma-camera imaging and estimation of absorbed doses of radiation to tumor sites and normal organs. Ten days later, patients received a therapeutic infusion of 1.7 mg/kg tositumomab labeled with an amount of131I calculated to deliver the target dose of radiation (20-27 Gy) to critical normal organs (liver, kidneys, and lungs). Patients were maintained in radiation isolation until their total-body radioactivity was less than 0.07 mSv/h at 1 m. They were then given etoposide and cyclophosphamide followed by ASCT. The MTD of131I-tositumomab that could be safely combined with 60 mg/kg etoposide and 100 mg/kg cyclophosphamide delivered 25 Gy to critical normal organs. The estimated overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of all treated patients at 2 years was 83% and 68%, respectively. These findings compare favorably with those in a nonrandomized control group of patients who underwent transplantation, external-beam total-body irradiation, and etoposide and cyclophosphamide therapy during the same period (OS of 53% and PFS of 36% at 2 years), even after adjustment for confounding variables in a multivariable analysis.
