The incidence of treatment-related myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia (tMDS/tAML) after Tositumomab and Iodine I 131 Tositumomab administration to previously treated and untreated patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) was evaluated. Seven studies enrolled 1,071 patients: 995 with relapsed/refractory low-grade NHL, ± transformation (median, 3 prior regimens [range, 1-13]) and 76 patients with previously untreated low-grade follicular NHL. A single dose of Iodine Tositumomab and I 131 Tositumomab was administered. For tMDS/tAML patients, baseline and post-therapy peripheral blood and marrow specimens were reviewed in a blinded fashion. Median follow-up was 6 years from diagnosis and 2 years from radioimmunotherapy for previously treated patients, and 4.6 years from radioimmunotherapy for previously untreated patients. tMDS/tAML was reported in 35/995 (3.5%) patients (annualized incidence, 1.6%/yr [95% confidence interval, 1.0%-2.0%/yr]), and 52% of the tMDS/tAML diagnoses of tMDS/tAML were confirmed in a blinded review (annualized incidence of 1.1%/yr (95% confidence interval, 0.7%-1.6%/yr]). Of the 25 cases ten patients (40%) were diagnosed with tMDS/tAML prior to receiving radioimmunotherapy; two (8%) had no pathologic or clinical evidence to support such a diagnosis and thirteen (52%) were confirmed to have developed tMDS/TAML following RIT. This incidence is consistent with that expected on the basis of patients' prior chemotherapy for NHL. With a median follow-up approaching 5 years, no case of tMDS/tAML has been reported in any of the 76 patients receiving Iodine I 131 Tositumomab as their initial therapy (P =.011 compared with previously treated patients).
