The radioisotope contributes significantly to the activity of radioimmunotherapy.
PURPOSE A multicenter, randomized study was undertaken to estimate the single agent activity of Tositumomab and to determine the contribution of radioisotope-labeling with (131)I to activity and toxicity by comparing treatment outcomes for Tositumomab and Iodine I 131 Tositumomab (BEXXAR) to an equivalent total dose of unlabeled Tositumomab. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Seventy-eight patients with ref...
متن کاملA phase 2 trial of CHOP chemotherapy followed by tositumomab/iodine I 131 tositumomab for previously untreated follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Southwest Oncology Group Protocol S9911.
Advanced follicular lymphoma is incurable with conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) conducted a phase 2 trial (S9911) of a novel regimen consisting of 6 cycles of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy followed 4 to 8 weeks later by tositumomab/iodine I 131 tositumomab (anti-CD20 antibody) in 90 eligible patients...
متن کاملRadioimmunotherapy with tositumomab and iodine-131 tositumomab for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
With the success of targeted monoclonal antibody therapy in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, attempts were made to further improve efficacy through the addition of a radioisotope. A goal of radioimmunotherapy is to utilize the monoclonal antibody to deliver radiation to a tumor bed with relatively limited toxicity to the surrounding normal tissues. I-131 Tositumomab is an iodine-131 labeled anti-CD20 mu...
متن کاملUpdate on the rational use of tositumomab and iodine-131 tositumomab radioimmunotherapy for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Targeted radioimmunotherapy in non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma (NHL) offers an efficacious therapy and minimal toxicity compared to conventional chemotherapy. Iodine 131 tositumomab ((131)I-TST) is a murine monoclonal antibody against the CD20 cell surface protein and is directly covalently conjugated to (131)I, a radioactive beta and gamma emitter. While initially approved for use in relapsed, r...
متن کاملRadioimmunotherapy: a novel treatment modality for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The field of radioimmunotherapy for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has advanced significantly over the past decade, and several radioimmunoconjugates are being tested in clinical trials. Two of these antibodies target CD20: yttrium-90 (Y-90)-labeled ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) and tositumomab/iodine-131 (I-131)-labeled tositumomab (Bexxar). Other agents target either CD22 (Y-9...
