90 Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan: a nearly forgotten opportunity
Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (90Y-IT) combines the benefits of a monoclonal antibody with the efficacy of radiation in the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), a remarkably radiosensitive hematologic malignancy. 90Y-IT activity has been well established in the indolent setting, being approved in front-line treatment of follicular lymphoma (FL) patients as well as salvage therapy. However, ...
متن کاملTITLE : High dose Y - 90 - Ibritumomab - Tiuxetan with autologous stem cell transplantation in refractory - resistant NHL
BODY: Objectives : Therapeutic options are limited for aggressive high-grade NHL pts not suitable to high dose chemotherapy. Y-90-Ibritumomab-Tiuxetan has already been demonstrated active in elderly pts with resistantrefractory DLBCL at standard activity, however response is usually of short duration. Increasing RIT dose-intensity could improve and prolong efficacy. We evaluated feasibility and...
متن کاملRadioimmunotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with yttrium 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan.
The increasing incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), coupled with the lack of optimal treatment options, has prompted the development of novel treatments. Of these, radioimmunotherapy is one of the most promising. Two of the radiolabeled monoclonal antibody therapies being studied in the treatment of NHL are yttrium 90 (90Y) ibritumomab tiuxetan and iodine 131 (131I) tositumomab. The radio...
متن کاملRadiation safety guidelines for radioimmunotherapy with yttrium 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan.
Radioimmunotherapy is a new cancer therapy that combines the cytotoxicity of radiation with the tumor-specific targeting of monoclonal antibodies. Yttrium 90 (Y-90) ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin, IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation, San Diego, CA) is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade, follicular, or transformed B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), includ...
متن کاملRadiation safety considerations with yttrium 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin).
Radioimmunotherapy is a recently approved treatment modality for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that enables physicians to target cytotoxic localized radiation to tumor sites without using external-beam sources. Because it uses a pure beta emitter for therapy, (90)Y ibritumomab tiuxetan can be safely and routinely administered in an outpatient procedure, with few discharge instructions, and minimal ris...
