New York, NY (May 19, 2002) A physician from Weill Cornell Medical College reported to a meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) in Orlando, FL, today that, in 13 of 16 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who were treated with an experimental monoclonal antibody called Bexxar, it was still possible to collect an adequate supply of blood stem cells for potential use in a transplant in case the patient relapsed.Dr. Tsiporah Shore, Associate Director of the Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Program at Weill Cornell, explained that Bexxar (I131 tositumomab) is being tested as a treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Bexxar is a monoclonal antibodyan antibody specifically targeted against the antigens of that disease. However, because Bexxar is linked to a radioactive molecule, there has been a concern that exposure to Bexxar "might damage the body's supply of stem cells, which could be needed for a transplant if the patient relapsed," according to Dr. Shore.
