Experimental: Veltuzumab and 90Y-Epratuzumab Tetraxetan
Veltuzumab and 90Y-Epratuzumab Tetraxetan target different b-cells. Veltuzumab will be administered in all 4 weekly study drug treatments. 90Y-Epratuzumab Tetraxetan will be administered only on days 8 & 15. The dose of veltuzumab remains the same for all patients.
|
Drug: Veltuzumab and 90Y-Epratuzumab Tetraxetan
Veltuzumab will be administered subcutaneously in phase 2. 90Y-Epratuzumab tetraxetan will be administered intravenously. Veltuzumab is given once weekly for 4 weeks. 90Y-Epratuzumab is also given at treatment weeks 2 & 3 (days 8 & 15).

- Safety/dose limiting toxicity [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Patients are closely monitored during and after all infusions, and then at intervals over a 12-week post-treatment evaluation period. Safety evaluations required in all patients include vital signs, physical examination, CBC, serum chemistries, serum immunoglobulins, urinalysis, peripheral blood B-cell levels (immunophenotyping based on CD19), and HAHA (to be analyzed by Sponsor). Adverse events and abnormal laboratories will be graded for toxicity according to NCI CTC v3.0 criteria.
- Efficacy [ Time Frame: 12 weeks-5 years ]
CT or PET/CT imaging will be used to quantify changes in index lesions identified on baseline imaging, with responses classified according to revised response criteria for NHL (Cheson, 2007).
Patients with stable disease or objective responses continue limited follow-up evaluations, including CT evaluations, physical examinations and serum laboratories every 3 months for the first year and then every 6 months up to a total of 5 years or until progression of disease.

- Adequate renal and liver function (creatinine and bilirubin </= 1.5 x IULN; AST and ALT </= 2.5 x IULN)
- Otherwise, <Grade 1 toxicity at study entry by NCI CTC version 3.0.
- 3 months beyond any prior rituximab or veltuzumab treatment, 12 weeks beyond autologous stem cell transplant and 4 weeks beyond chemotherapy, other experimental treatments, or any radiation therapy to the index lesion(s).
- Screened for hepatitis B (no time limit) and negative by tests included in NCCN guidelines (hepatitis B surface antigen/antibodies, core antigen/antibodies, hepatitis B e-antigen).
- Patients of childbearing potential must be willing to practice birth control during the study until at least 12 weeks after last veltuzumab infusion; women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test to enter the study.
- Ability to provide signed, informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Pregnant or lactating women. Women of childbearing potential are required to have a negative pregnancy test
- NCI CTC Grade 3 or 4 infusion reaction to prior anti-CD20 antibodies (rituximab, veltuzumab, etc.)
- A known anti-antibody response to prior antiCD20 antibodies (HACA positive, HAHA positive, etc)
- Prior radioimmunotherapy, including Zevalin or Bexxar.
- Prior high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
- Prior therapy with other human or humanized monoclonal antibodies, unless HAHA tested and negative
- Primary CNS lymphoma, HIV lymphoma or transformed lymphoma, or presence of symptomatic CNS metastases or carcinomatous meningitis.
- Rituximab or veltuzumab resistant, defined as having progressed during or within 6 months of any prior rituximab or veltuzumab treatment.
- Bulky disease by CT, defined as any single mass >10 cm in its greatest diameter
- Bone marrow involvement ≥25%
- Prior external beam radiation therapy to >30% bone marrow.

- Patients known to be HIV positive, hepatitis B positive, or hepatitis C positive
- Known autoimmune disease or presence of autoimmune phenomena.
- Evidence of infection or requiring antibiotics within 7 days.
- Use of systemic corticosteroids within 2 weeks, except low dose regimens (prednisone, <20 mg/day, or equivalent) which may continue if unchanged.
- Prior malignancies (other than non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) unless disease free for 5 years.
- Prior malignancy with less than a 5-year disease-free interval, excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
- Other concurrent medical or psychiatric conditions that, in the Investigator's opinion, may be likely to confound study interpretation or prevent completion of study procedures and follow-up examinations
