Expected Enrollment

A total of 24 patients will be accrued for this study within 36 months.

Outline

This is a dose-escalation study of yttrium Y 90 monoclonal antibody Lym-1 (Y90 MOAB Lym-1).

Patients receive oral cyclosporine every 12 hours on days -2 to 14. Patients receive unlabeled MOAB Lym-1 IV followed by a tracer dose of indium In 111 MOAB Lym-1 IV on day 0. On day 7, patients receive unlabeled MOAB Lym-1 IV followed by Y90 MOAB Lym-1 IV. Patients in cohorts 2-4 also receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 9. Courses repeat every 8 weeks for a total of 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3 patients receive escalating doses of Y90 MOAB Lym-1 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 21 months, and then every 6 months for 3 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.
