Do not administer the ibritumomab tiuxetan therapeutic regimen to patients with >= 25% lymphoma marrow involvement and/or impaired bone marrow reserve. It is recommended to monitor patients for signs of cytopenia for up to 3 months after treatment and for hematological toxicity including development of myelodysplastic syndrome and/or acute myelogenous leukemia.

Major

Ibritumomab tiuxetan (applies to ibritumomab) vaccination

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

The safety of immunization with live viral vaccines following the ibritumomab tiuxetan has not been studied. Do not administer live viral vaccines to patients who have recently received ibritumomab tiuxetan. The ability to generate an immune response to any vaccine following the therapeutic regimen has not been studied.

Moderate

Ibritumomab tiuxetan (applies to ibritumomab) hematological toxicity

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Myelodysplastic Disease, Leukemia

The radiation dose resulting from therapeutic exposure to Y-90 radiolabeled ibritumomab tiuxetan may result in secondary malignancies.
