Zusammenfassung

Aufgrund überzeugender Studienergebnisse bei Patienten mit einem rezidivierten oder refraktären B-NHL sind 90Y-Ibritumomab-Tiuxetan und 131I-Tositumomab zur Therapie von follikulären Lymphomen in der Rezidivsituation (90Y-Ibritumomab-Tiuxetan in Europa) und zur Therapie von rezidivierten oder refraktären Low-grade-B-NHL sowie transformierten B-NHLs (131I-Tositumomab in den USA) zugelassen. Zahlreiche Studien haben gezeigt, dass beide Radioimmunkonjugate sowohl in der Erstlinientherapie als auch in der Konsolidierungstherapie nach Erstlinientherapie entweder als Monosubtanz als auch in einem multimodalen Konzept außerordentlich wirkungsvoll sind. Ergebnisse zur RAIT bei aggressiven Lymphomen sind ebenfalls vielversprechend. Myeloablative Hochdosisprotokolle mit Stammzellgabe (ASCT) zeichnen sich durch eine hohe Rate kompletter und zum Teil dauerhafter Remissionen aus. Fraktionierte Therapien erscheinen durchaus erfolgversprechend, sind aber zurzeit nur unzureichend und nur für die Rezidivsituation evaluiert. Vom derzeitigen Kenntnisstand aus ist absehbar, dass Pretargetingsysteme die antineoplastischen Effekte der RAIT weiter verbessern werden.

Abstract

Convincing findings in recent clinical trials of 90Y-Ibritumomab tiuxetan and 131I-Tositumomab have led to the approval of these substances in the treatment of relapsed follicular NHL (90Y-Ibritumomab tiuxetan in Europe and 131I-Tositumomab in the USA) and in the treatment of refractory low-grade and transformed NHL (131I-Tositumomab in the USA). Trials have shown that 90Y-Ibritumomab tiuxetan and 131I-Tositumomab, either as single agents or in combination with chemotherapy, are effective in the first-line treatment and consolidation therapy of B-NHL. Treatment with RAIT has also been shown to be effective in patients with aggressive lymphomas, and in high-dose chemotherapy regimens with stem cell rescue, where a high rate of complete and durable remissions could be achieved. First results of fractionated regimens are promising and need further evaluation. Pretargeting strategies will undoubtedly improve the antineoplastic effects of RAIT.
