21
Q

zevalin is composed of three things

A

1-ibritumomab (MoAb)
2-tiuxetan (chelator) that covalently links to ibritumomab and tightly binds to Y-90
3-Y-90 (radioisotope) high energy beta emitter

21
Q

hama rxn is and how do we pretreat

A

human anti mouse antibody is an allergic rxn to mouse antibody. pretreat with tylenol and benadryl

22
Q

what does zevalin combine with in terms of how it works

A

combines targetting and therapeutic activity of MoAb with the cytotoxic activity of radiation

23
Q

what antigen does zevalin bind to and what cell expresses it

A

CD20 on b cell in NHL

24
Q

what does beta emission from y-90 do

A

induces cellular damage and formation of free radicals in target and neighboring cells and is known as cross fire effect

25
Q

why do we give rituximab

A

saturate readily available CD20 sites in spleen and normal b cells so that cx cells are to be main target of therapy

26
Q

what is zevalin indicated for

A

all low grade NHL

27
Q

types of low grade NHL

A

-small cell lymphoma
-follicular lymphoma
-mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma
-lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
-waldenstrom macroglobulinemia

28
Q

whats given day 1 of zevalin trtmnt

A

250mg/m^2 of rituximab in an OP facility or hem/onc office

29
Q

what is given on day 7,8, or 9

A

250 mg/m^2 of rituximab and followed within 4 hours with zevalin dose

30
Q

premedicated before what and how much

A

prior to rituximab infusion
650 mg Tylenol and 50 m g benadryl

31
Q

how long should iv infusion be given of zevalin

A

over 10 min

32
Q

dose for pt with normla platelet count

A

0.4mCi/kg

33
Q

dose for pt with platelet ct greater than or equal to 100,000-149,000 cells mm^3

A

0.3 mCi/kg in refractory or relapse

34
Q

lab criteria

A

pt w previously treated follicular NHL who achived PR or CR to first line chemo need to meet following:
-platelet >=150,000 mm^3
-25% bone marrow involvement

35
Q

lab criteria n relapsed or refractory NHL

A

-platelet >= 100,000 mm^3
-25% bone marrow involvement
