Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Phase1: toxicities (DLTs) in 1st 6 weeks after therapeutic (tx) dose [ Time Frame: 6 weeks post therapy dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Phase2: tumor response by CT/MRI 9 months after tx dose [ Time Frame: 9 months after treatment dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Phase1: radiation absorbed 1 hour after dose 1(small dose), 2-4 days after dose 1, and 5-7 days after dose 1; tumor response by CT/MRI & blood/urine tests 3, 6, 9, & 12 months after tx dose; dose response by CT/MRI 9 months after tx dose [ Time Frame: post therapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Phase2: tumor response by CT/MRI & blood/urine tests 3, 6, 9, & 12 month after tx dose; quality of life 3, 6, 9, & 12 months after tx dose [ Time Frame: post therapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 49
Study Start Date: April 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2012
Intervention Details:
    Drug: Ultratrace Iobenguane (MIBG) I 131
    Phase I: Dose escalation protocol Phase II: Treatment schedule at therapeutic dose
Detailed Description:

This is a phase 1 and phase 2 study. The phase 1 patients will be enrolled before the phase 2 patients are enrolled. Each patient will receive a small dose to see if the tumors absorb the drug. If the patient's tumors absorb the drug, then the patient will receive one therapeutic dose. In the phase 1 portion, every 3 patients will be given the same therapeutic dose, and usually each group of 3 patients will be given a larger dose than people who were enrolled before them. Enrollment in the phase 1 portion will be complete once researches believe that they have found the highest dose that they can give patients without causing unacceptable toxicity. This dose is called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). All phase 2 patients will receive the MTD. Each patient in phase 1 and phase 2 will be followed for 5 years following their therapeutic dose. During this 5-year follow-up period, patients will undergo tests such as 1.) CT or MRI scans and blood and urine tests to determine if the tumors shrink, grow, or stay the same; 2.) bone scans to see if the tumor has spread to or increased in the bones and, 3.) a quality of life test to see how the symptoms of pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma affect patients' daily lives.
