PurposeTo test the hypothesis that consolidation therapy with yttrium-90 (90Y) –ibritumomab tiuxetan after brief initial therapy with four cycles of rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) in patients with previously untreated mantle-cell lymphoma would be a well-tolerated regimen that would improve outcomes compared with historical R-CHOP data.Patients and MethodsPatients ≥ 18 years old with histologically confirmed mantle-cell lymphoma expressing CD20 and cyclin D1 who had not received any previous therapy and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2 and adequate organ function were eligible. The study enrolled and treated 57 patients, of whom 56 patients were eligible. Fifty-two patients (50 eligible patients) received90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan. The study design required 52 eligible patients to detect a 50% improvement in the median time to treatment failure (TTF) compared with that reported for six cycles of R-CHOP.ResultsWith 56 analyzed patients (median age, 60 years; men, 73%), the overall response rate was 82% (55% complete response/complete response–unconfirmed). With a median follow-up of 72 months, the median TTF was 34.2 months. The median overall survival (OS) has not been reached, with an estimated 5-year OS of 73% (79% for patients ≤ age 65 years v 62% for patients > age 65 years; P = .08 [log-rank test]). There were no unexpected toxicities.ConclusionR-CHOP given for four cycles followed by90Y–ibritumomab tiuxetan compared favorably with historical results with six cycles of R-CHOP in patients with previously untreated mantle-cell lymphoma. This regimen was well tolerated and should be applicable to most patients with this disease.

PurposeThis phase II trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of yttrium-90 (90Y)–ibritumomab tiuxetan in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).Patients and MethodsPatients with relapsed or refractory MCL were eligible for the study if they had adequate major organ function and performance status. Those with CNS disease, pleural effusion, circulating lymphoma cells ≥ 5,000/μL, or history of stem-cell transplant were ineligible. Patients with a platelet count ≥ 150,000/μL received a dose of 0.4 mCi/kg of90Y–ibritumomab tiuxetan, whereas those with a platelet count less than 150,000/μL received a dose of 0.3 mCi/kg.ResultsThirty-four patients with a median age of 68 years (range, 52 to 79 years) received the therapeutic dose. The patients had received a median of three prior treatment regimens (range, one to six treatment regimens), including those that contained rituximab (n = 32) and bortezomib (n = 7). Of the 32 patients with measurable disease, 10 (31%) achieved complete or partial remission. After a median follow-up of 22 months (range, 2 to 72+ months), an intent-to-treat analysis revealed a median event-free survival (EFS) duration of 6 months and an overall survival duration of 21 months. The median EFS for those who achieved partial or complete remission was 28 months, while it was 3 months for those whose disease did not respond (P < .0001); it was 9 months for patients whose tumor measured less than 5 cm in the largest diameter before treatment and 3 months for those whose tumor measured ≥ 5 cm (P = .015).ConclusionThe single-agent activity of90Y–ibritumomab tiuxetan and its favorable safety profile warrant its further development for the treatment of MCL.

Abstract Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has poor clinical outcome and is a significant therapeutic challenge in patients with relapsed or refractory disease due to its resistance to salvage chemotherapy. Although recent studies have shown the clinical utility of radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in relapsed and transformed indolent B-cell lymphoma, the clinical efficacy of this treatment modality in patients with MCL is not well described. We report the results of a completed phase II clinical trial of yttrium 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) in patients with relapsed and refractory MCL. Patients and Methods: Patients with relapsed or refractory MCL with measurable disease, age ≥18 years, and performance status <3 were eligible. Patients were required to have adequate function of the bone marrow (ANC ≥1,500/mm3, platelets ≥100,000/mm3), liver, and kidneys. Patients were excluded if they had prior stem cell transplantation, RIT, CNS lymphoma, HIV infection, pleural effusion, HAMA reactivity, or circulating lymphoma cell count ≥5,000/mm3. Patients with pretreatment platelet counts ≥150,000/mm3 received a dose of Zevalin at 0.4 mCi 90Y/kg (maximum dose 32 mCi), whereas those with platelet counts <150,000/mm3 received 0.3 mCi 90Y/kg. Results: Thirty-five patients were enrolled at MDACC. The median age was 68 years (range 52–79), and 27 patients were men. All patients had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 and had been previously treated with rituximab with or without other chemotherapy. The median number of prior regimens was 3 (range 1–6). Twelve of the patients did not respond to their last regimen. Twenty-two patients were previously treated with Hyper-CVAD alternating with MTX/Ara-C, and 7 previously received bortezomib. Thirty-one of 35 patients are eligible for evaluation of treatment response and toxicity. There were no grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxic events. Grade 1 non-hematologic toxic events included fatigue in 7 and nausea in 3. Grade 2 non-hematologic toxic events included non-neutropenic fever in 1 and melana in 1. Grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxic events included thrombocytopenia in 8, neutropenia in 2 and anemia in 1. Objective responses were observed in 13/31 patients for an overall response rate (ORR) of 42% including 8 CR/CRu’s (26%) and 5 PR’s (16%). Three patients had stable disease. Among the 4 patients who received a Zevalin dose of 0.3 mCi 90Y/kg, 1 achieved a CRu while the 3 others had progressive disease. Eight of the 13 responding patients were previously treated with 3 or more regimens; two patients achieved CR after having received 4 prior lines of therapy. Median progression free survival for the responded patients was 6 months after a median follow up time of 16 months. Conclusion: Zevalin treatment was generally well tolerated; with the most common toxicity being hematological. The observed responses to Zevalin in heavily pretreated patients with MCL are promising and warrant further investigation of its activity after first or second relapse, and in conjunction with front-line therapy.

Abstract Abstract 4884 Background: Bendamustine is an alkylating agent with a unique mechanism of action and has demonstrated efficacy as a single agent for the treatment of relapsed or refractory indolent B-NHL or MCL. We conducted a multicenter, phase II study of bendamustine in Japanese patients with indolent B-cell NHL or MCL, reporting an overall response rate of 91% (90% in indolent B-NHL and 100% in MCL) according to International Workshop Response Criteria after a median follow-up of 12.6 months (Ohmachi et al. Cancer Sci 2010 [Epub ahead of print]). Here we report the updated progression-free survival (PFS) data, including median PFS, which had not been reached at the time of previous reports. Patients and Methods: Eligible patients (aged 20–75 years; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1) with measurable, pathologically confirmed indolent B-NHL or MCL that failed to respond to, or relapsed after, prior therapy were enrolled. Bendamustine 120 mg/m2 was administered intravenously over 60 minutes on days 1 and 2 every 21 days for up to 6 cycles. PFS was assessed 3 months after completion of the last cycle, and then at 3-month intervals. Results: A total of 69 patients, aged 33–75 years, were enrolled: 58 with indolent B-NHL, mainly follicular lymphoma (n = 52), and 11 with MCL. Patients had primarily stage III or IV disease. The median number of prior regimens was 2 (range, 1–9) for patients with indolent B-NHL and 4 (range, 1–16) for those with MCL. A median of 5 (range, 1–6) bendamustine cycles were administered, with 72% of patients completing 3 or more cycles. The median follow-up time for all patients is 20.6 months (range, 2.5–27.2 months). The median PFS was 21.1 months (95% CI, 15.8-NA; NA = not available due to short period of observation): 20.0 months (95% CI, 12.3-NA) in indolent B-NHL, and 21.7 months (95% CI, 16.5-NA) in MCL. Estimated 2-year PFS rates were 45.2% and 34.1% in indolent B-NHL and MCL, respectively. Conclusions: Bendamustine monotherapy is highly effective in patients with relapsed or refractory indolent B-NHL and MCL. The durable responses observed in this study strongly support the use of bendamustine in these patients and are particularly encouraging in the relapsed or refractory MCL population. Disclosures: Off Label Use: Bendamustine is a novel alkylator that has shown efficacy and safety in patients with indolent lymphomas, and particularly encouraging is the activity in patients with mantle cell lymphoma, which is difficult to treat. Although bendamustine is currently investigational in Japan, approval for relapsed/refractory indolent NHL and mantle cell lymphoma is anticipated in October 2010.
