Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Arm A RIT

ARM B ASCT

Arm Description

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). Zevalin® will be delivered as per indications and should thus be provided at expenses following regular supplies procedures.

BEAM 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

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

PFS will be defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival from randomization (rOS)
OS will be defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death from any cause.
Event Free Survival (EFS)
EFS will be measured from the date of randomization to the date of any treatment failure including death, disease progression or relapse, discontinuation of treatment for any reason (toxicity, patient preference, initiation of new treatment without documented progression).

TFS will be defined as the time between the date of the end of primary treatment until the institution of the next unplanned chemotherapy in randomized population.
Progression Free Survival from enrolment (ePFS)
PFS will be defined as the time between the date of enrolment and the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause.
Overall Survival from enrolment (eOS)
OS will be defined as the time between the date of enrolment and the date of death from any cause
Complete Response (CR) Rate
Proportion of CR according to the Cheson 2007 response criteria at the end of consolidation phase.
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
ORR at the end of the consolidation phase is defined as Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response according to the Cheson 2007 response criteria.
Toxicity
Incidence of grade 3 or higher Toxicity measured by CTCAE v.4.03 during therapy.
Molecular Response rate (MR)
Rate of MR will be defined as the proportion of patients achieving PCR negativity after the consolidation phase and during follow up.
Molecular Response rate conversion (cMR)
Rate of conversion will be defined as the proportion of patients with baseline PCR-positivity converting to PCR-negativity during treatment.
Molecular Relapse Rate (MRR)
Rate of molecular relapse will be defined as the proportion of patients with PCR-negativity after treatment converting to PCR-positivity during the first two years of follow-up.

Brief Summary
This is a Phase III, multicenter, open-label, randomized and controlled study to compare the efficacy of a consolidation therapy with RIT versus ASCT in patients with FL in CR or PR after second or third line chemotherapy supplemented with rituximab.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase III, multicenter, open-label, randomized and controlled study to compare the efficacy of a consolidation therapy with RIT vs. ASCT in patients with FL in CR or PR after second or third line chemotherapy supplemented with rituximab. Patients with FL will be eligible for screening at the time of relapsed or refractory disease after two or less chemotherapy lines at least one containing rituximab. This study will be conducted in six steps as follows. Screening Phase, Enrolment and Induction chemotherapy (STEP I) Randomization (STEP II) Stem cell mobilization and collection (STEP III) Consolidation (RIT vs ASCT) (STEP IV) Maintenance (STEP V) Follow-up Phase (STEP VI)
