Study Arms (2)
Arm A RIT
EXPERIMENTALInfusion of 90Y Ibritumomab Tiuxetan if the patient has less than 25% BM infiltration at the pre-consolidation restaging (0.4 mCi/kg if platelets ≥150,000/mmc, 0.3 mCi/kg if platelets are between 100.000 and 150,000/mmc). Zevalin® will be delivered as per indications and should thus be provided at expenses following regular supplies procedures.
ARM B ASCT
EXPERIMENTALBEAM conditioning regimen (or in alternative FEAM regimen with fotemustine to replace BCNU) and reinfusion of CD34+ cells of ≥ 2x106/Kg CD34+ day 0 (optimal dose to reinfuse 4x106/Kg CD34+). G-CSF 5 mcg/Kg from day 2 until ANC\>1500/mmc. Patients who failed mobilization will directly proceed to rituximab maintenance
Interventions
Infusion of 90Y Ibritumomab Tiuxetan if the patient has less than 25% BM infiltration at the pre-consolidation restaging (0.4 mCi/kg if platelets ≥150,000/mmc, 0.3 mCi/kg if platelets are between 100.000 and 150,000/mmc).
BEAM REGIMEN day -6 Carmustine\* 300 mg/ m2 i.v. in 250ml dextrose 5% solution from day -5 to day -2 Cytarabine 200 mg/m2 i.v. every 12 hours in 250 ml dextrose 5% solution, 250 ml/hr Etoposide 100 mg/m2 i.v. every 12 hours in 250 ml dextrose 5% solution, 250 ml/hr day -1 Melphalan 140 mg/m2 i.v. in 100ml saline solution in 200 ml/hr day 0 UReinfusion of autologous stem cells following this rules: 1. Patient collecting ≥6x106 CD34+ cells/kg use \>4x106 CD34+ cells/kg for ASCT and keep \>2x106 CD34+ cells/kg for back up; 2. Patient collecting 4-6x106 CD34+ cells/kg use \>2x106 CD34+ cells/kg for ASCT and keep \>2x106 CD34+ cells/kg for back up; 3. Patient collecting 2-4x106 CD34+ cells/kg use all CD34+ cells for ASCT and keep no back up. day 2 Filgrastim or Lenograstim 5μg/Kg s.c. until ANC \> 1500/mmc
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:

- Availability of BM and PB for Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) analysis (see Appendix I)
- Relapsed or refractory disease after ≤ two chemotherapy lines at least one containing Rituximab (Rituximab maintenance is UNOTU considered a therapeutic line)
- Clinical indication of treatment i.e. Stage II-IV who require therapy according to SIE and GELF criteria (see Appendix II)
- ECOG performance status 0-2 (unless disease-related) (see Appendix III)
- Availability of histological material for centralized revision
- Laboratory values:
- ANC ≥ 1500/mmc unless due to marrow involvement by lymphoma and/or platelets ≥ 100000/mmc unless due to marrow involvement by lymphoma
- Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN, unless it is disease related
- Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (or ≤ 3.0 x ULN, if patient has Gilbert syndrome)
- AST/SGOT and/or ALT/SGPT ≤ 2.5 x ULN if not lymphoma related or ≤ 5.0 x ULN in case of lymphoma liver involvement
- Adequate cardiac function: LVEF \> 50% by echocardiography or MUGA scan

- Willingness to use effective contraception during the study and 3 months after the end of treatment
You may not qualify if:
- Signed informed written consent
- Grade IIIb FL, transformed FL or histologies different from FL
- Previous treatment with \> two lines of chemotherapy ± rituximab Maintenance is UNOTU considered a therapeutics line)
- Previous ASCT or RIT treatment
- CNS involvement by lymphoma
- HBV positivity with the exception of patients who are seropositive because of hepatitis B virus vaccination and patients HbcAb positive and HbsAg negative with undetectable serum HBV-DNA. Occult carriers: must receive treatment with Lamivudine 100 mg for the duration of treatment program and at least 12 months after treatment cessation; HBV-DNA levels and HBsAg will be monitored every month
- HCV positivity with elevated transaminases or INR or APTT or active virus replication
- HIV positivity
- Any concurrent medical condition requiring long term use (\> one month) of systemic corticosteroids
- Active bacterial, viral, or fungal infection requiring systemic therapy
- Any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition which might impair administration of therapy or preclude the ability to give informed consent
- Treatment with an experimental agent within 30 days prior to study entry
- Major surgery other than diagnosis within 4 weeks prior to study entry
- Previous i.v. or i.m. treatments with murine or animal derived antibodies
