PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and biologic effect of
multiple doses of the chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb)
IDEC-C2B8 in patients with relapsed B-cell lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Twenty patients with relapsed low-grade (n = 15) or
intermediate-/high-grade (n = 5) lymphoma received weekly infusions times
four of 125 mg/m2 (n = 3), 250 mg/m2 (n = 7), or 375 mg/m2 (n = 10) of
IDEC-C2B8. RESULTS: Infusional side effects during the initial infusion
were mainly grade I/II fever, asthenia, chills, nausea, rash, and
urticaria. More serious events were rare. Peripheral-blood B cells were
rapidly depleted and slowly recovered over 3 to 6 months. There was no
change in mean immunoglobulin (Ig) levels. Antibody serum half- life (and
maximum concentration [Cmax]) generally increased between the first and
fourth infusions (33.2 hours v 76.6 hours, respectively) following the
375-mg/m2 doses. Six of 18 assessable patients had a partial remission
(PR), with a median time to disease progression of 6.4 months (range, 3 to
21.7). Minor responses (MRs) were observed in five patients and progressive
disease (PD) in seven. Tumor responses occurred in peripheral blood, bone
marrow (BM), spleen, bulky lymph nodes, and extranodal sites, and in
patients who had relapsed following high-dose myeloablative chemotherapy.
Six of 14 patients (40%) with a low-grade histology responded. Four of six
with bulky disease had a PR. CONCLUSION: IDEC-C2B8 chimeric anti-CD20 mAb
therapy is well tolerated and has clinical activity in patients with
relapsed B-cell lymphoma. The 375-mg/m2 dose has been selected for a phase
II trial in patients with relapsed low-grade or follicular B-cell lymphoma.
