20This phase II study is aimed at the clinical efficacy and toxicity of 6th R-CHOP chemotherapy followed by ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) consolidation in patients with limited-stage, bulky diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
The patients with limited-stage, bulky diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are known to have a poor prognosis as like to those with advanced disease. However, there are very limited studies to compare the clinical outcome of therapy after chemotherapy only with combined modality using radiation. Defining local failure at bulky sites as one component of relapse, radioimmuotherapy appears to reduce the failure rates at previous bulky sites. We assessed the clinical efficacy and toxicity of 6th R-CHOP chemotherapy and followed by ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) consolidation in patients with limited-stage, bulky DLBCL.
During Zevalin treatment, rituximab 250 mg/m2 will be administered with the same methods mentioned above on days 1 and 8. On day 8, within 4 hours following completion of the rituximab dose, 90Y Zevalin at a dose of 0.4 mCi/kg actual body weight for patients with a platelet count > 150,000/L and 0.3 mCi/kg actual body weight for patients with a platelet count of 100,000 - 149,000/L will be injected intravenously over a period of 10 minutes. The maximum allowable dose of 90Y Zevalin is 32 mCi regardless of the patient's body weight. 90Y Zevalin should be administered within 4 hours after radiolabeling of Zevalin with 90Y.
