Objectives

I.  Determine whether deoxyspergualin (DSG) administration results in 
diminution or ablation of the anti-murine antibody response following 
intravenous 131I-labeled monoclonal antibody CC-49 (131I-CC49) in patients 
with incurable colorectal malignancy, with antibody response determined by the 
following:  changes in HAMA titer; changes in the pharmacokinetics of 
subsequent 131I-CC49 infusions; relative uptake of radioactivity by tumor(s) 
and normal tissue after first and repeat infusions of 131I-CC49 as determined 
by serial whole-body and SPECT gamma camera imaging; and whole-body 
radioactivity biodistribution as estimated by serial gamma camera imaging and 
conjugate view methods.

II.  Determine the toxicity of DSG and multiple radiolabeled antibody 
administration in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

III.  Determine the therapeutic efficacy of repeated infusions of 131I-CC49 
with DSG.

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.
