Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Clinical Trial
Phase 3 Study of Zevalin Following R-CVP in Previously Untreated Patients With Follicular Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL)
Summary
This study will treat follicular lymphoma patients who have not received previous treatment with R-CVP. Half of the patients will receive Zevalin after R-CVP and the other half will receive only R-CVP. The two patient groups will be compared to determine if Zevalin given after R-CVP therapy provides greater benefits than receiving no additional anti-cancer therapy after R-CVP.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Must give written informed consent and any authorizations required by local law (e.g., Protected Health Information).
Age greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of informed consent.
Histologically confirmed follicular NHL according to the Revised European American Lymphoma (REAL)/World Health Organization (WHO)classification (from initial diagnosis); grades 1, 2, or 3.
Bi-dimensionally measurable lesion(s) in at least one site.
High risk NHL as defined by a follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) of 3, 4, or 5 assessed within 3 months prior to randomization.
NHL requires treatment as determined by the investigator.
Confirmed CD20+ lymphoma cells.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1,or 2.
Expected survival of greater than or equal to 3 months.

Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months of study, unstable and uncontrolled hypertension, chronic renal disease, or active uncontrolled infection) that could compromise participation in the study.
Known hypersensitivity to murine and/or chimeric proteins.
History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions.
Known allergy to any components present in rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (CVP), or Zevalin.
