90Y-Ibritumomab tiuxetan administered 8 to 12 weeks after the last chemotherapy infusion. Each participant randomized to this treatment group was to receive a therapeutic dose of 14.8 MBq/kg (0.4 mCi/kg of total body weight) of 90Y ibritumomab tiuxetan (maximum 1,184 MBq or 32 mCi). Participants with a pre-treatment platelet count between 100 and 149 x10^9/L were to receive 0.3 mCi/Kg 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan. (Body weight ≤80 kg: 14.8 MBq [0.4 mCi] yttrium-90/kg and Body weight >80 kg: 1,184 MBq [32 mCi] maximum dose). The 90Y ibritumomab tiuxetan regimen is as follows: Day 1 rituximab (250 mg/m^2); Day 7,8, or 9 rituximab (250 mg/m^2) followed by 90Y ibritumomab tiuxetan within 4 hours of the end of the rituximab infusion. (Maximum duration of study was up to approximately 2.7 months).
Participants were to receive 375 mg/m^2 of rituximab, administered by intravenous (I.V.) infusion every 8 weeks, starting 8 to 12 weeks after the last R-chemotherapy cycle. (Maximum duration of study was up to approximately 2.7 months).
