UCHSC-91264
NCI-V91-0216

Objectives

I.  Assess tumor localization by radioimaging with iodine-131-labeled murine 
monoclonal antibody LL2 (131I-LL2), and estimate radiation dose to tumor and 
normal tissue.

II.  Describe serum levels of monoclonal antibody and radiolabel disappearance 
following administration of 131I-LL2 in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's 
lymphoma reactive with monoclonal antibody LL2.

III.  Assess target antigen expression and saturation in malignant tissue 
following therapy via biopsy of accessible lesions.

IV.  Assess any antitumor response to a 131I-LL2 in these patients.

V.  Estimate the maximum tolerated dose and evaluate the clinical toxicity of 
131I-LL2 in these patients.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
