Ibritumomab Tiuxetan CD 20 B Radioimmunotherapy of NHL 90Y Zevalin • Ibritumomab (murine antibody parent of Rituximab) • Tiuxetan (MX-DTPA) conjugated to antibody forming strong urea-type bond • Stable retention of 90Y 90Y 90Y Zevalin CD20 antigen • Expressed only on B lineage cells • Does not shed, internalize or modulate • Yttrium-90 • T1/2 = 64 hours • Outpatient administration • Beta emission 90 = 5 mm

Zevalin™ Biodistribution The 4-hour scan demonstrates the residual blood pool. The 63-hour and 140-hour scans demonstrate axillary, inguinal, and periaortic lymphoma, as well as uptake in the liver. 111In-labeled ibritumomab tiuxetan images from a representative patient.

Zevalin in Rituximab-Refractory Disease Follicular NHL Response rates • Overall 74% • Complete 15% • response to prior Rituximab CR was 32% p=0.002 • response to prior chemo CR was 67% p=ns Response duration • In responders 9.1 months (3.5 to 26+)
RIT at the BCCA Randomized trial Zevalin v no added therapy after CR/PR Off-trial in relapsed low-grade lymphomas
1. Randomized Study • Prospective, multicentred, multinational, randomized phase III clinical trial • 350 patients in approximately 85 centres (EU, Canada) • 8 in Canada (BC the first)
Stage 3-4 Follicular NHL CR or PR after 1st line chemo 6-12 weeks after chemo Zevalin or no added therapy Patient population
Endpoints • Progression‑free survival • Change of response status • (PR turning into CR) • Overall survival • Safety and tolerability • Quality of Life
Process – team effort! Nursing MedicalOncology RadiationOncology Patient RadiationSafety Nuclear Medicine Pharmacy Radiopharmacy
2. Zevalin off-study • Not yet available in Canada • Patients travel to Seattle • Cost ~$40,000 – Out of Country Claim • ? When available in Canada (soon) • ? Cost $20,000 (+ Rituximab) • BCCA PEC application under consideration • Funding applied for 21 patients/year ($500k)
Zevalin off-study Placed as ‘end-of-line’ palliative therapy • After chemo, 1st and 2nd line • After localized RT • After experimental protocols (anti CD-22) • After Rituximab ~50% response rate for ~9 months
