Objectives

I.  Determine the objective response rate to 131I-labeled anti-TAG-72 
monoclonal antibody (131I-MOAB CC-49) with adjunctive interferon alpha (IFN-A).

II.  Determine the toxicity of 76 mCi/sqm of 131I-MOAB CC-49 with 8 daily 
doses of 3 MU IFN-A.

III.  Determine the frequency and magnitude of the human immune response to 
murine MOAB CC-49 in patients receiving cyclosporine.

IV.  Evaluate the ability of IFN-A to enhance the frequency of 131I-MOAB CC-49 
localization to different metastatic sites as determined by imaging studies.

V.  Determine the increase in radiation dose to different organs and tumor 
sites attributed to adjunctive IFN-A following administration of 131I-MOAB 
CC-49 with and without IFN-A.

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.
