A Phase I/II Trial of CpG 7909, Rituximab Immunotherapy, and Y-90 Zevalin Radioimmunotherapy for Patients With Previously Treated CD20+ Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of CpG 7909 when administered in combination with
rituximab and yttrium 90 ibritumomab in patients with CD20+ recurrent or refractory
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. (Phase I [closed to accrual as of 10/29/07])
- Assess the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. (Phase I [closed to accrual as
of 10/29/07])
Secondary
- Determine the response rate (complete response [CR], CR unconfirmed, and partial
response [PR]) in patients treated with this regimen. (Phase I [closed to accrual as of
10/29/07])
- Compare the biodistribution of indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan radioimmunoconjugate
scans before and after treatment with CpG 7909. (Phase I [closed to accrual as of
10/29/07])
- Determine the human antimouse antibody and/or human antichimeric antibody rate in
patients treated with this regimen. (Phase I [closed to accrual as of 10/29/07])
- Determine if CpG 7909, when given in combination with rituximab and yttrium Y 90
ibritumomab tiuxetan, can stimulate immune effector cells in the blood and tumor tissue
of these patients. (Phase I [closed to accrual as of 10/29/07])
- Assess the overall response rate (CR and PR) in patients with relapsed diffuse large B
cell lymphoma treated with this regimen. (Phase II)
- Assess the toxicity of this regimen in patients with relapsed diffuse large B cell
lymphoma. (Phase II)
- Assess the time to progression and duration of response in patients with relapsed
diffuse large B cell lymphoma. (Phase II)
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, phase I, dose-escalation study of CpG 7909 followed by a
phase II study. (Phase I closed to accrual as of 10/29/07.)
- Phase I (patients with relapsed, refractory, or residual CD20+ non-Hodgkin lymphoma
[closed to accrual as of 10/29/07]): Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1, 8, and
15, CpG 7909 IV over 2 hours on days 6, 13, 20, and 27, and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab
tiuxetan* IV over 10 minutes on day 15 in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of CpG 7909 until the maximum tolerated dose
(MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients
experience dose-limiting toxicity. Twelve additional patients are treated at the MTD.
NOTE: *Patients receive indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on days 1 and
8. Patients undergo whole-body gamma camera imaging, single-photon emission computed
tomography/CT scans, and blood sampling after each dose of indium In 111 ibritumomab
tiuxetan to determine biodistribution. If biodistribution is acceptable, patients receive
yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan.
- Phase II (patients with relapsed, refractory, or residual diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma): Patients receive CPG 7909 at the MTD as determined in phase I. Patients also
receive rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan as in phase I.
NOTE: *Patients receive indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on day 8.
Patients undergo whole-body gamma camera imaging and blood sampling after each dose of
indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan to determine biodistribution.
Blood samples are collected at baseline and periodically during treatment and follow up.
Samples are evaluated for immunology correlates by flow cytometry and immunoenzyme
techniques and biomarkers.
After the completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 5
years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 63 patients will be accrued for this study.
