Full Title
A Phase 3, Open-label, Multicenter, Randomized Study of Sequential Zevalin (ibritumomab tiuxetan) versus Observation in Patients at Least 60 Years of Age with Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma in PET-negative Complete Remission After R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like Therapy (ZEAL)
Purpose
Ibritumomab tiuxetan is an approved therapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including B-cell lymphomas. It is an antibody that carries a radioactive substance directly to NHL cells, where the radiation can kill the cancer cells.
In this study, researchers are assessing the use of ibritumomab as potential consolidation therapy in patients age 60 and older who have achieved remission of their diffuse B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after receiving standard chemotherapy. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive ibritumomab or observation (no treatment unless the NHL returns), and researchers will follow and compare the two groups.
