Objectives

I.  Determine limiting radiation-induced toxicities of 131I-labeled monoclonal 
antibody A33 (131I-MOAB A33) in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

II.  Determine the maximum radiation dosage of 131I-MOAB A33 to tumor 
achievable with limited toxicity to normal tissues.

III.  Determine retention of 131I-MOAB A33 in tumor and normal tissue over a 4 
week period.

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.
