PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the progression-free survival of patients receiving 131 I labeled tositumomab antibody, etoposide (VP-16) and cyclophosphamide (CY) followed by autologous transplantation.
II. To examine the potential efficacy of 131 I labeled tositumomab antibody, etoposide (VP-16) and cyclophosphamide (CY) followed by autologous transplantation.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the overall survival of patients receiving 131 I labeled tositumomab antibody, etoposide (VP-16) and cyclophosphamide (CY) followed by autologous transplantation.
II. To evaluate the toxicity and tolerability of the above therapy.
OUTLINE:
RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY: Patients receive a test dose of iodine I 131 tositumomab intravenously (IV) on day -24 to determine biodistribution. Patients then receive therapeutic iodine I 131 tositumomab IV over approximately 40-60 minutes on day -14 and are entered into radiation isolation until day -4.
CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive etoposide IV on day -4 and cyclophosphamide IV on day -2.
AUTOLOGOUS STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant on day 0.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and then annually thereafter.

- Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: At year 3 ]Kaplan-Meier estimate of progression-free survival at 3 years will be used as the primary determinant of potential efficacy.
- 5 Year Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]Survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. Associated confidence intervals will be provided as part of the analysis.
- Response Rate [ Time Frame: From date of transplant through date of relapse/progression or death, assessed up to 15 years ]Response rates will be estimated as the percentage of patients
- Toxicity as Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) v 2.0 [ Time Frame: From date of first exposure to study drug, through date of relapse/progression or other significant medical event confounding further assessment, assessed up to 15 years ]Grade 3-4 Bearman non-hematologic toxicity will be carefully monitored throughout this study. The protocol will be terminated due to safety concerns if there exists sufficient evidence suggesting that the true rate of grade 3-4 nonhematologic toxicity exceeds 25%. All patients, regardless of histology, will be evaluated together for purposes of toxicity. Sufficient evidence will be taken to be a lower limit to the appropriate 90% one-sided confidence interval in excess of 25%

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 60 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of lymphoma expressing the cluster of differentiation (CD)20 antigen and generally must have failed at least one prior standard systemic therapy; the exception will be mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients, who may be enrolled while in first complete remission (CR) in accordance with current transplant standard of care for these patients
- Note: Patients with clinically non-transformed follicular lymphomas do not require repeat biopsies for immunophenotyping since these tumors are uniformly reactive with the tositumomab antibody
- Patients must have tumor burdens < 500cc by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MRI) volumetric measurements and must not have splenomegaly at the time of enrollment; splenomegaly will be defined as a spleen volume > 2 standard deviations of the mean spleen volume to body weight ratio (mean = 3.84 cc/kg, SD = 1.53 cc/kg); thus, patients with > 6.9cc/kg will be defined as having splenomegaly; patients with splenomegaly that is thought to be due to G CSF/GM-CSF effect and not due to lymphomatous involvement of the spleen can been deemed eligible with the approval of an investigator
- Patients must have normal renal function (creatinine [Cr] < 2.0)
- Patients must have normal hepatic function (bilirubin < 1.5mg/dL), with the exception of patients thought to have Gilbert's syndrome, who may have a total bilirubin above 1.5mg/dL
- All patients eligible for therapeutic study must have autologous hematopoietic stem cells (2 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg) harvested and cryopreserved
- Patients must have an expected survival of > 60 days and must be free of major infection
Exclusion Criteria:
- Circulating anti-mouse antibody (HAMA)
- Systemic anti-lymphoma therapy given within 30 days prior to anticipated treatment date
- Inability to understand or give an informed consent
- Prior radiation > 20 Gy to any critical normal organ (e.g., lung, liver, spinal cord, or over 25% of red marrow)
- Central nervous system lymphoma
- Other serious medical conditions considered to represent contraindications to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) (e.g., active coronary artery disease, pulmonary dysfunction [forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 70% expected, Vital Capacity < 70% expected, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) < 50%, patient on supplemental oxygen], AIDS, etc.)
- Pregnancy
- Prior bone marrow or stem cell transplant
- Presence of circulating lymphoma cells by morphology or flow cytometry (>= 0.1%) at or near the time of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection if unpurged PBSC are to be used
- Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) performance status >= 2.0
- Unable to perform self-care during radiation isolation
- Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma/well differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma (ineligible because these tumors express very low surface densities of CD20)
