Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have recurrent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
-
Assess the safety and tolerability of monoclonal antibody Hu1D10 in patients with previously treated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma expressing the antigen recognized by Hu1D10.
-
Determine the maximum tolerated dose of monoclonal antibody Hu1D10 in these patients.
-
Evaluate the pharmacokinetics, compare the pharmacology at different dose levels, and determine the optimal biological dose of this drug in these patients.
-
Evaluate any antilymphoma effects of this drug in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation, multicenter study.
Patients receive monoclonal antibody Hu1D10 IV over 2-4 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of monoclonal antibody Hu1D10 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 2 of 3 or 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, an additional cohort of 3-6 patients receive Hu1D10 IV over 2-4 hours on days 1-5.
Patients are followed at 4 weeks, 50 days, and periodically thereafter until disease progression.
