A Long-Term Follow-Up Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Delayed Toxicities of Radioiodinated Tositumomab (Anti-CD20 Antibody) Followed by Autologous Transplantation for Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
A Long-Term Follow-Up Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Delayed Toxicities of Radioiodinated Tositumomab (Anti-CD20 Antibody) Followed by Autologous Transplantation for Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
RATIONALE: Studying the long-term effects of cancer treatment in cancer survivors may help improve the ability to plan effective treatment and follow-up care.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the long-term effects of iodine I 131 tositumomab and autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplantation in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a long-term, follow-up study.
Patients undergo testing for human anti-mouse antibody at 1, 3 and 12 months. Patients undergo physical examinations, blood tests, and immune system assessments every 3 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter. Thyroid, pulmonary, and cardiac function are assessed at 1 year and then annually as needed. Patients also undergo CT scans and bone marrow biopsy (if clinically indicated) annually for up to 10 years.
Quality of life is assessed annually.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 47 patients will be accrued for this study.
