Abstract
Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a therapy that combines a radioactive nucleotide with a monoclonal antibody (mAb). RIT enhances the therapeutic effect of mAb and reduces toxicity compared with conventional treatment. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current progress of RIT for treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) based on recent preclinical and clinical studies. The efficacy of RIT targeting the B-lymphocyte antigen cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20) has been demonstrated in clinical trials. Two radioimmunoconjugates targeting CD20, yttrium-90 (90Y)-ibritumomab-tiuxetan (Zevalin) and iodine-131 (131I)-tositumomab (Bexxar), have been approved in the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating relapsed/refractory indolent or transformed NHL in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Although these two radioimmunoconjugates are effective and least toxic, they have not achieved popularity due to increasing access to novel therapies and the complexity of their delivery process. RIT is constantly evolving with the identification of novel targets and novel therapeutic strategies using newer radionuclides such as alpha-particle isotopes. Alpha-particles show very short path lengths and high linear energy transfer. These characteristics provide increased tumor cell-killing activities and reduced non-specific bystander responses on normal tissue. This review also discusses reviewed pre-targeted RIT (PRIT) and immuno-positron emission tomography (PET). PRIT potentially increases the dose of radionuclide delivered to tumors while toxicities to normal tissues are limited. Immuno-PET is a molecular imaging tracer that combines the high sensitivity of PET with the specific targeting capability of mAb. Immuno-PET strategies targeting CD20 and other antigens are currently being developed. The theragnostic approach by immuno-PET will be useful in monitoring the treatment response.

Abstract
Systemic radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is arguably the most effective and least toxic anticancer treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In treatment-naïve patients with indolent NHL, the efficacy of a single injection of RIT compares with that of multiple cycles of combination chemotherapy. However, 20 years following the approval of the first CD20-targeting radioimmunoconjugates 90Y-Ibritumomab-tiuxetan (Zevalin) and 131I-tositumomab (Bexxar), the number of patients referred for RIT in western countries has dramatically decreased. Notwithstanding this, the development of RIT has continued. Therapeutic targets other than CD20 have been identified, new vector molecules have been produced allowing for faster delivery of RIT to the target, and innovative radionuclides with favorable physical characteristics such as alpha emitters have been more widely available. In this article, we reviewed the current status of RIT in NHL, with particular focus on recent clinical and preclinical developments.

Abstract
Conditioning of the bone marrow prior to haematopoietic stem cell transplant is essential in eradicating the primary cause of disease, facilitating donor cell engraftment and avoiding transplant rejection via immunosuppression. Standard conditioning regimens, typically comprising chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, have proven successful in bone marrow clearance but are also associated with severe toxicities and high incidence of treatment-related mortality. Antibody-based conditioning is a developing field which, thus far, has largely shown an improved toxicity profile in experimental models and improved transplant outcomes, compared to traditional conditioning. Most antibody-based conditioning therapies involve monoclonal/naked antibodies, such as alemtuzumab for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis and rituximab for Epstein–Barr virus prophylaxis, which are both in Phase II trials for inclusion in conditioning regimens. Nevertheless, alternative immune-based therapies, including antibody–drug conjugates, radio-labelled antibodies and CAR-T cells, are showing promise in a conditioning setting. Here, we analyse the current status of antibody-based drugs in pre-transplant conditioning regimens and assess their potential in the future of transplant biology.

Abstract
Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a safe and active treatment available for non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs). In particular, two monoclonal antibodies raised against CD20, that is Zevalin (90Y-ibritumomab-tiuxetan) and Bexxar (131I-tositumomab) received FDA approval for the treatment of relapsing/refractory indolent or transformed NHLs. RIT is likely the most effective and least toxic anticancer agent in NHLs. However, its use in the clinical setting is still debated and, in case of relapse after optimized rituximab-containing regimens, the efficacy of RIT at standard dosage is suboptimal. Thus, clinical trials were based on the hypothesis that the inclusion of RIT in myeloablative conditioning would allow to obtain improved efficacy and toxicity profiles when compared to myeloablative total-body irradiation and/or high-dose chemotherapy regimens. Standard-activity RIT has a safe toxicity profile, and the utility of pretherapeutic dosimetry in this setting can be disputed. In contrast, dose-escalation clinical protocols require the assessment of radiopharmaceutical biodistribution and dosimetry before the therapeutic injection, as dose constrains for critical organs may be exceeded when RIT is administered at high activities. The aim of the present study was to review and discuss the internal dosimetry protocols that were adopted for non-standard RIT administration in the myeloablative setting before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with NHLs.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine therapeutic procedures have considerably expanded over the last few years, and their number is expected to grow exponentially in the future. Internal dosimetry has significantly developed as well, but has not yet been uniformly accepted as a valuable tool for prediction of therapeutic efficacy and toxicity. In this paper, we briefly summarize some of the arguments about the implementation of internal dosimetry in clinical practice. In addition, we provide a few examples of radionuclide anticancer therapies for which internal dosimetry demonstrated a significant impact on treatment optimization and patient outcome.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common hematologic malignancy and the sixth cause of death from cancer in the USA. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a potentially curative therapeutic option for many NHL patients. Choosing the most effective conditioning regimen prior to ASCT can lead to longer survival in these patients, and, as in many cases of high risk NHL, the only potentially curative option is stem cell transplantation. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is based on using radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies against tumoral antigens. Since lymphoma cells are sensitive to radiation, RIT has become a potential approach in treating NHL. In this review, we have discussed the efficacy and safety of RIT as an alternative conditioning regimen prior to ASCT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To contrast the clinical effects and complications for the treatment of large B-cell lymphoma between autologous stem cell transplantation and chemotherapy. METHODS Multiple databases were searched to identify relevant studies. Articles that met the inclusion criteria were included. RESULTS A total of 11 studies including 795 patients were involved, which eventually met the eligibility criteria. 385 and 410 samples were included in ASCT group and chemotherapy group respectively. The heterogeneity test suggested that clinical efficacy (RR = 1.29, 95% CI [1.17, 1.42], P < 0.00001; P for heterogeneity = 0.0002, I2 = 72%), side effects (RR = 1.72, 95% CI [1.15, 2.58], P = 0.009; P for Heterogeneity < 0.0001, I² = 85%) and overall 5-year survival rate (RR = 1.16, 95% CI [1.05, 1.29], P = 0.004; P for Heterogeneity = 0.008, I² = 58%) were significantly different between ASCT group and chemotherapy group, while non-disease 5-year survival rate (RR = 1.24, 95% CI [1.04, 1.48], P = 0.02; P for Heterogeneity = 0.22, I² = 24%) appears insignificantly. CONCLUSIONS This study presents a comprehensive summary and critical assessment of the current evidence for the treatment of large B-cell lymphoma. The evidence shows that the clinical efficacy of ASCT was better than that of chemotherapy to some extent, but ASCT might lead to more possibility of complications.

Abstract
Standard-dose 90yttrium-ibritumomab tiuxetan (.4 mci/kg) together with high-dose BEAM (BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) (Z-BEAM) has been shown to be a well-tolerated autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation preparative regimen for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We report the outcomes of a single-center, single-arm phase II trial of Z-BEAM conditioning in high-risk CD20+ non-Hodgkin lymphoma histologic strata: diffuse large B cell (DLBCL), mantle cell, follicular, and transformed. Robust overall survival and notably low nonrelapse mortality rates (.9% at day +100 for the entire cohort), with few short- and long-term toxicities, confirm the safety and tolerability of the regimen. In addition, despite a high proportion of induction failure patients (46%), the promising response and progression-free survival (PFS) rates seen in DLBCL (3-year PFS: 71%; 95% confidence interval, 55 to 82%), support the premise that the Z-BEAM regimen is particularly effective in this histologic subtype. The role of Z-BEAM in other strata is less clear in the context of the emergence of novel agents.

Abstract
Standard conditioning regimens for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) are often not tolerated by elderly patients, on one hand. Single high-dose melphalan, on the other hand, has been shown to be safe and active as a pretransplant preparative regimen in elderly patients. Y90 -Ibritumomab tiuxetan (Y90 -IT) is well tolerated and feasible in the transplantation setting. We therefore investigated the combination of high-dose melphalan and Y90 -IT as a conditioning regimen for patients ≥65 years of age. Patients with relapsed or resistant CD20-positive lymphoma in remission after salvage chemotherapy could be enrolled. High-dose therapy consisted of standard dose Y90 -IT (0.4-mCi/kg body weight) followed by melphalan at escalating doses (100, 140, 170 and 200 mg/m2 ) and ASCT. The primary objective was to identify the maximum tolerated dose; secondary end points were complete response (CR) rate 100 days after transplantation and toxicity. Twenty patients (median age 72 years) were included. No DLT occurred at any dose level. Thirteen patients completed the treatment, 11 were evaluable for response. Seven patients did not complete treatment because of mobilization failure (n = 3), progressive disease (n = 2), worsening of cardiac function (n = 1), and grade 3 dyspnea (n = 1). Seven patients achieved a CR/complete remission/unconfirmed (CRu) and 2 had stable disease. Five out of 7 responding patients were still alive more than 3 years after transplantation. The 2 patients with SD had a long-term survival of 3 and 5 years, respectively. Nonhematological grade 3 or higher treatment related adverse events (AEs) were infection (n = 6), including 2 cases of febrile neutropenia, diarrhea (n = 3), mucositis, anorexia, viral hepatitis, hypokalemia, dehydration, and multiorgan failure (n = 1 for each). The combination of Y90 -IT and high-dose melphalan is feasible before ASCT for elderly patients, with promising activity and manageable toxicity.

Abstract
There are limited data to guide the choice of high-dose therapy (HDT) regimen before autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) for patients with Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We studied 4917 patients (NHL, n = 3905; HL, n = 1012) who underwent AHCT from 1995 to 2008 using the most common HDT platforms: carmustine (BCNU), etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) (n = 1730); cyclophosphamide, BCNU, and etoposide (CBV) (n = 1853); busulfan and cyclophosphamide (BuCy) (n = 789); and total body irradiation (TBI)-containing treatment (n = 545). CBV was divided into CBV(high) and CBV(low) based on BCNU dose. We analyzed the impact of regimen on development of idiopathic pulmonary syndrome (IPS), transplantation-related mortality (TRM), and progression-free and overall survival. The 1-year incidence of IPS was 3% to 6% and was highest in recipients of CBV(high) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.9) and TBI (HR, 2.0) compared with BEAM. One-year TRM was 4% to 8%, respectively, and was similar between regimens. Among patients with NHL, there was a significant interaction between histology, HDT regimen, and outcome. Compared with BEAM, CBV(low) (HR, .63) was associated with lower mortality in follicular lymphoma (P < .001), and CBV(high) (HR, 1.44) was associated with higher mortality in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (P = .001). For patients with HL, CBV(high) (HR, 1.54), CBV(low) (HR, 1.53), BuCy (HR, 1.77), and TBI (HR, 3.39) were associated with higher mortality compared with BEAM (P < .001). The impact of specific AHCT regimen on post-transplantation survival is different depending on histology; therefore, further studies are required to define the best regimen for specific diseases.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a standard therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are chemosensitive. The combination of carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) is commonly used as a conditioning regimen. The addition of yttrium-90 ((90) Y)-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin(®)) to BEAM (Z-BEAM) is increasingly being used to improve outcomes and overcome refractory disease. We conducted a literature review and meta-analysis in order to evaluate the clinical effects of Z-BEAM followed by ASCT in patients with DLBCL. A literature search was conducted for randomized controlled trials and observational studies of Z-BEAM as a conditioning regimen for ASCT in adult patients with DLBCL. Extracted data included baseline patient demographics, overall response (ORR), complete response (CR), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), median time to ANC and platelet engraftment, and rate of myelodysplastic syndrome. Mixed-effects models were used to determine estimates. Ten studies (N = 328) were included in the meta-analysis. The 2-year OS and PFS were 84.5% (n = 328) and 67.2% (n = 285), respectively. Outcomes were superior in patients with nontransformed lymphoma. Posttransplant, ORR and CR rates were 72.6% and 68.5%, respectively. The NRM rate was 6.3% and the incidence rate of myelodysplastic syndrome was 2.5%. Two-year OS was significantly associated with pretransplant ORR (P = 0.008, τ(2) = 0). There was no significant association between PFS and pretransplant response. Z-BEAM is safe and effective as a conditioning regimen in relapsed/refractory DLBCL.

Abstract
SUMMARY Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), in chemosensitive relapsed patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), is associated with superior event-free survival (EFS) compared with salvage chemotherapy alone. BEAM is one of the most commonly used regimens in both HL and NHL because of its acceptable toxicity and high effectiveness. The nonrelapsed mortality (NRM) ranges from 7 to 10% in historical studies. More recent investigations have demonstrated a lower NRM, probably due to various factors such as the use of peripheral blood precursor cells and better support therapy. Recently, in order to reduce the toxicity of carmustine and increase antilymphoma activity, several groups have introduced conditioning regimens similar to BEAM. The incorporation of newer drugs (anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies ± radiolabeled) to ‘classic’ BEAM, or the substitution of carmustine with other drugs (thiotepa, bendamustine and fotemustine) may be a valuable strategy in this patient setting. In this review, we will discuss the data available on HDC followed by ASCT in lymphoma using new conditioning regimens, namely second-generation BEAM.

Abstract
Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) represents an attractive strategy to deliver radiation selectively to tumor and other target organs while minimizing toxicity to normal tissues. RIT with β-particle-emitting isotopes targeting CD33, CD45 and CD66 can potentially allow intensification of conditioning before hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in leukemia. Similarly, RIT directed against CD20 has shown promise in the setting of autologous and allogeneic HCT for B-cell lymphomas. α-particle immunotherapy with isotopes such as bismuth-213, actinium-225 and astatinine-211 offers the possibility of more selective and efficient killing of target cells while sparing the surrounding normal cells. Pretargeting strategies may further improve target:normal organ dose ratios. While RIT has demonstrated significant antitumor activity, ultimately, randomized studies will be required to determine if conditioning regimens that include this therapeutic modality can improve patient outcomes after HCT.

Abstract
This manuscript reviews current advances in the use of radioimmunotherapy (RIT) for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). RIT has been in use for more than 20 years and has progressed significantly with the discovery of new molecular targets, the development of new stable chelates, the humanization of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), and the use of pretargeting techniques. Today, two products targeting the CD20 antigen are approved: (131)I-tositumomab (Bexxar(®)), and (90)Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin(®)). (131)I-tositumomab is available in the United States, and (90)Y-ibritumumab tiuxetan in Europe, the United States, Asia, and Africa. RIT can be integrated in clinical practice using non-ablative activities for treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) or as consolidation after induction chemotherapy in front-line treatment in FL patients. Despite the lack of phase III studies to clearly define the efficacy of RIT in the management of B lymphoma in the era of rituximab-based therapy, RIT efficacy in NHL has been demonstrated. In relapsing refractory FL and transformed NHL, RIT as a monotherapy induces around 30% complete response with a possibility of durable remissions. RIT consolidation after induction therapy significantly improves the quality of the response. Dose-limiting toxicity of RIT is hematological, depending on bone marrow involvement and prior treatment. Non-hematological toxicity is generally low. Different studies have been published assessing innovative protocols of RIT or new indications, in particular treatment in patients with aggressive lymphomas. High-dose treatment, RIT as consolidation after different therapeutic induction modalities, RIT in first-line treatment or fractionated RIT showed promising results. New MAbs, in particular humanized MAbs, or combinations of naked and radiolabeled MAbs, also appear promising. Personalized dosimetry protocols should be developed to determine injected activity.

Abstract
Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) for relapsed indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma produces overall response rates (ORR) of 80% with mostly partial remissions. Synthetic CpG oligonucleotides change the phenotype of malignant B-cells, are immunostimulatory, and can produce responses when injected intratumorally and combined with conventional radiation. In this phase I trial, we tested systemic administration of both CpG and RIT. Eligible patients had biopsy-proven previously treated CD20+ B-cell NHL and met criteria for RIT. Patients received rituximab 250 mg/m(2) days 1,8, and 15; (111) In-ibritumomab tiuxetan days 1, 8; CpG 7909 days 6, 13, 20, 27; and 0.4 mCi/kg of (90) Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan day 15. The doses of CpG 7909 tested were 0.08, 0.16, 0.32 (six patients each) and 0.48 mg/kg (12 patients) IV over 2 hr without dose limiting toxicity. The ORR was 93% (28/30) with 63% (19/30) complete remission (CR); median progression free survival of 42.7 months (95% CI 18-NR); and median duration of response (DR) of 35 months (4.6-76+). Correlative studies demonstrated a decrease in IL10 and TNFα, and an increase in IL1β, in response to therapy. CpG 7909 at a dose of 0.48 mg/kg is safe with standard RIT and produces a high CR rate and long DR; these results warrant confirmation.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for diffuse large B cell lymphoma: who, when and how? Bone Marrow Transplant 2013; 49:1-7.

Abstract
Despite overall improvements in outcomes of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), ∼30-40% of patients develop relapsed or refractory disease. For patients with chemo refractory disease, or recurrent disease following autologous hematopoietic SCT (auto-HCT), the prognosis is poor, with no consensus on the optimal therapy. Currently, owing to the graft vs lymphoma effect, hematopoietic allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the only potentially curative option for such patients. In addition, many patients who are considered today for auto-HCT actually have a low likelihood of benefit. For example, a patient with prior rituximab exposure who relapses within 1 year of diagnosis and has a second-line age-adjusted International Prognosis Index of 2 or 3 at relapse has a <25% chance of being cured by auto-HCT. It is possible that such patients may be better served with an allo-HCT. Unfortunately, in many cases, allo-HCT applicability is limited by patient age, comorbidities, performance status and treatment-related toxicities. Recent attempts to improve the efficacy of auto-HCT, such as incorporating radio-immunotherapy into the conditioning regimen, have not resulted in improved outcomes. However, incorporation of novel agents such as anti-programmed death-1 antibodies as maintenance therapy after auto-HCT show promise. Allo-HCT in relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients can result in a 30-40% PFS rate at 3 years, in part due to a graft vs DLBCL effect. While reduced-intensity/non-myeloablative conditioning is increasingly being used, certain patients may benefit from myeloablative conditioning. We present an algorithm intended to discriminate which relapsed and refractory DLBCL patients are most likely to benefit from auto-HCT vs allo-HCT. New approaches, using novel agents that target the molecular heterogeneity in DLBCL, will be an essential component of moving the field forward. Lastly, we propose a prospective registry-based study as the only feasible mechanism to define the optimal position of allo-HCT in the overall treatment strategy for DLBCL. It is hoped that this review will promote the development of prospective multicenter efforts to determine whether such patients do, in fact, benefit from earlier and/or more effective implementation of allo-HCT.

Abstract
SUMMARY Radioimmunotherapy is a promising treatment for B-cell lymphoma. 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin®) and 131I-tositumomab (Bexxar®) combine the potent antilymphoma effect of radiation with the specificity of antibody targeting. They have shown efficacy in follicular lymphoma in the setting of relapsed or refractory disease as consolidation regimens after first-line therapy, and in the front-line setting as single agents. Given their tolerability, they are actively being investigated as therapies or adjuncts for elderly patients with relapsed or high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. They have been added to autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant preparatory regimens in early clinical trials with acceptable safety and efficacy. Early concerns over excess rates of treatment-related myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia have not come to fruition, but these questions remain to be fully answered. Ultimately, these are promising treatments for a variety of B-cell lymphomas. They are also models for the development of new radioimmunotherapies.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the standard outpatient dose of 131-Iodine tositumomab (75 cGy) combined with high-dose carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) followed by autologous stem cell rescue for the treatment of chemotherapy-sensitive relapsed or refractory, or high-risk first complete remission (CR) patients with diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLBCL). Forty patients with chemotherapy-sensitive persistent or relapsed or high/intermediate or high international prognostic index DLCBL were treated in a phase II trial combining 75 cGy 131-Iodine tositumomab with high-dose BEAM followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. The CR rate after transplantation was 78%, and the overall response rate was 80%. Short-term and long-term toxicities were similar to historical control patients treated with BEAM alone. With a median follow-up of 6 years (range, 3-10 years), the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 72% (95% confidence interval [CI], 55%-83%), and the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 70% (95% CI, 53%-82%). The PFS and OS were encouraging in this group of chemotherapy-sensitive persistent, relapsed, or high-risk patients with DLBCL. A follow-up phase III trial with 131-Iodine tositumomab/BEAM vs rituximab/BEAM was planned based on this information.

Yttrium-90 ibritumomab tiuxetan plus busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide (BuCyE) versus BuCyE alone as a conditioning regimen for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. THE KOREAN JOURNAL OF HEMATOLOGY 2012; 47:119-25. [PMID: 22783358 PMCID: PMC3389060 DOI: 10.5045/kjh.2012.47.2.119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2012] [Revised: 06/08/2012] [Accepted: 06/12/2012] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Background Radioimmunotherapy agents have a highly significant role in autologous stem cell transplantation as they improve tolerability and increase the efficacy of the conditioning regimen. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and toxicity of yttrium-90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) combined with intravenous busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide (Z-BuCyE) compared with those of BuCyE alone followed by autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The efficacy, toxicity, and engraftment characteristics were compared between 19 patients who received Z-BuCyE and 19 historical controls who received BuCyE. Results The 2 treatment groups shared similar baseline characteristics. The median time to platelet engraftment (>20×109/L) and neutrophil engraftment (>0.5×109/L) did not significantly differ between the Z-BuCyE group (12 days and 10 days, respectively) and the BuCyE group (12 days and 10 days, respectively). No significant differences were observed between the groups with respect to toxicities and treatment-related mortality. The median follow-up period was 30.4 months, and median event-free survival was generally better in the Z-BuCyE group (12.5 months) vs. the BuCyE group (6.2 months, P=0.236). No significant difference in overall survival between the groups was noted. Conclusion Adding ibritumomab tiuxetan to BuCyE high-dose chemotherapy may benefit patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL with no risk of additional toxicity.
