RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as alemtuzumab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well alemtuzumab works in treating patients with HTLV-1 associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Lymphoma |
Drug: alemtuzumab |

Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Treatment, Open Label |
Official Title: | Phase II Study of the Efficacy and Toxicity of Campath-1H in the Therapy of Adult T-Cell Leukemia |
Estimated Enrollment: | 29 |
Study Start Date: | May 2003 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | July 2004 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized study.
Each patient receives escalating doses of alemtuzumab IV once daily until the target dose is reached and tolerated. Patients then receive the target dose of alemtuzumab IV over 2 hours 3 times weekly for a total of 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed monthly until the CD4 count has recovered and then every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 9-29 patients will be accrued for this study within 2.5 years.
