NCT00019305

Special Category: NIH Clinical Center trial

Objectives

  1. Assess the toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of yttrium Y 90 radiolabeled humanized anti-Tac (HAT) monoclonal antibody in patients with Tac expressing hematologic malignancies.
  2. Define the pharmacokinetics of indium In 111 and yttrium Y 90 HAT monoclonal antibodies.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, or lymphoid leukemia with at least 10% of malignant cells reacting with anti-Tac monoclonal antibody (waived for Hodgkin's lymphoma)


  • Must meet the following disease specific criteria:
    • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)
      • Indolent stages II-IV that failed at least one standard therapy and requiring treatment
      • Aggressive NHL that relapsed after standard chemotherapy, and not eligible for or refused salvage chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation
    • Hodgkin's lymphoma
      • Stages II-IV that relapsed or failed to achieve complete remission after first line chemotherapy, and not eligible for or refused salvage chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation
    • Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
      • Stages Ib-III that failed at least one standard therapy
      • Stage IV eligible regardless of prior therapy
    • Peripheral T-cell lymphoma
      • Stages I-IV that relapsed after first line chemotherapy, and not eligible for or refused salvage chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation
    • Other lymphoid leukemia or lymphoma

Hematopoietic:

  • Granulocyte count at least 1,200/mm3
  • Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3

Hepatic:

Expected Enrollment

55

Approximately 55 patients will be accrued in phase I and an additional 30 patients in phase II.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Response rate after completion of treatment

Secondary Outcome(s)

Survival at 2 years

Outline

This is a dose escalation study.

Patients are given yttrium Y 90 labeled humanized anti-Tac monoclonal antibody (Y-HAT) according to an escalating dose schedule along with a fixed dose of pentetic acid calcium (Ca-DTPA) and indium In 111 labeled humanized anti-Tac monoclonal antibody (In-HAT). On day 1, Y-HAT and In-HAT are administered IV over 2 hours followed by a 5 hour infusion of Ca-DTPA. Additional 5 hour infusions of Ca-DTPA are given on days 2 and 3. On day 42 the treatment course may be repeated at the same dosage level.

Cohorts of 3 to 6 patients are enrolled at each dose level. Dose escalation continues until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more patients experience dose limiting toxicity. After the MTD is defined the phase II portion of the study begins.

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.
