Objectives

I.  Correlate the administered dose of yttrium-90-labeled monoclonal antibody 
CC49 (90Y-MOAB CC49) with predicted absorbed tumor dose in patients with 
unresectable or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract, using 
indium-111-labeled monoclonal antibody CC49 for imaging.

II.  Determine whether absorbed doses of 4,000 cGy of 90Y-MOAB CC49 can be 
reached in metastatic sites.

III.  Determine the maximum tolerated dose of 90Y-MOAB CC49.

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.
