Objectives

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicity of yttrium 
Y 90 humanized anti-CD22 LL2 (Y90 MOAB hLL2) in combination with salvage 
chemotherapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell rescue in patients with 
recurrent or refractory B-cell malignancies.

II. Study the effect of chemotherapy on the uptake of Y90 MOAB hLL2 into tumor 
 sites and normal organs by pretherapy imaging using indium In 111 humanized 
LL2 and intratherapy imaging.

III. Determine the extent and duration of tumor response in patients receiving 
this regimen.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:


Histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent or refractory B-cell
malignancy that has failed at least one standard therapy

   Estimated radiation dose to marrow no greater than 3,000 cGy (bone marrow 
    involvement of greater than 25% is allowed provided stem cell              
    contamination and predicted marrow radiation doses are below the above     
    cited cut off values)

  compliance

 Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 3 months
  after study

Expected Enrollment

Approximately 15-24 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-2.5 years.

Outline

This is a dose escalation study of yttrium Y 90 humanized anti-CD22 monoclonal 
antibody LL2 (Y90 MOAB hLL2).  

Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily for 5 days and 
undergo harvest of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) on 2 or more consecutive 
days. If an adequate number of CD34+ cells are not harvested, autologous bone 
marrow may be used. Chemotherapy-induced mobilization with filgrastim allowed.

Patients undergo pretherapy imaging with indium In 111 humanized LL2 (In111 
hLL2) for up to 40 minutes on day -7. Patients receive Y90 MOAB hLL2 for up to 
40 minutes on day 0 plus In111 hLL2, followed by Y90 MOAB hLL2 alone on day 3. 
Patients receive ifosfamide IV over 1 hour, cisplatin IV over 2 hours, and 
cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 4. Oral etoposide is given daily on 
days 1-7. PBSC or bone marrow is reinfused on days 9-14, depending on MOAB 
clearance. 

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of Y90 MOAB hLL2 until the 
maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose 
preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting 
toxicity.

Patients are followed weekly for 2 months, monthly for 6 months, and then 
every 6 months for 5 years.

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.
