Trial Information

A Phase I/II Trial of Redox Regulation in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory CD20 Positive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL): Combining 90-Yttrium- Zevalin and the Redox- Modulating Agent, Motexafin Gadolinium (MGd)


This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of motexafin gadolinium followed by a phase II
study. Patients are stratified according to extent of lymphomatous involvement (≤ 5% vs > 5
but ≤ 24% of cellular elements).

Cohorts of 3-6 patients in each stratum receive escalating doses of motexafin gadolinium
until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at
which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) OR the dose preceding that at
which 2 of 3 or 3 of 6 patients experience DLT.

- Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are treated at that dose level as in
phase I.

Patients are followed weekly for 3 months and then monthly for 5 years.
