Summary

Patients with a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, called follicular lymphoma and have not yet had previous systemic treatment, such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy will be invited to participate. This research study is being conducted in order to evaluate the combination of lowdose methotrexate and Iodine I 131 tositumomab (Bexxar) with regards to whether the combination will reduce the occurrence of the HAMA (Human Anti-Mouse Antibody) response. HAMA is an immune reaction against the tositumomab protein. Symptoms arising from HAMA can range from a mild form, like a rash, to a more extreme and possibly life-threatening level. HAMA can also decrease the effectiveness of the treatment, or create a future reaction if a patient is given another treatment containing mouse antibodies. In addition to evaluating the occurrence of HAMA, this research study will also look at the short and long-term effectiveness of this combination in the treatment of lymphoma, as well as its safety.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Bexxar

Iodine I 131 tositumomab (Bexxar) is a radioimmunotherapy (RIT) drug. RIT is a treatment strategy designed to target radiation specifically to cancer cells by attaching a radioactive atom to a monoclonal antibody, an immune system protein that binds to a particular protein. The Iodine I 131 tositumomab (Bexxar) therapeutic regimen is delivered in two sets of intravenous infusions given about 7 days apart. Nonradioactive Tositumomab is given before both the "dosimetric" infusion and the "therapeutic" infusion to improve distribution of these doses throughout the body.

DRUG

Low Dose Methotrexate

Methotrexate is an antifolate drug. It interferes with cells' ability to copy their DNA. This mainly affects cells that are dividing frequently, such as immune system cells and cancer cells. Methotrexate will be used in this study to try to prevent the occurrence of HAMA by limiting your body's ability to produce anti mouse antibodies.
