RATIONALE: Antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of antibody therapy in treating patients who have refractory or relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Leukemia Lymphoma | Biological: bispecific antibody 4G7xH22 Biological: sargramostim | Phase 1 |
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of bispecific antibody 4G7xH22 in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
- Assess the clinical toxicity of this antibody in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of bispecific antibody (BsAb) 4G7xH22.
Patients receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously on day 1 and BsAb 4G7xH22 IV over 2 hours on day 2. Treatment repeats weekly for a total of 3 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of BsAb 4G7xH22 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Patients are followed weekly for 4 weeks, monthly for 3 months, and then periodically for 1 year.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 18 patients will be accrued for this study.

- Clinical Toxicity [ Time Frame: day 1-29 ]This study was prematurely ended by the sponsor Medarex (supplier of BsAb) due to toxicities experienced at other sites on unrelated trials leading to the decision that Medarex would not be manufacturing the investigational product (BsAb).
- Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of BsAb 4G7 x 22 [ Time Frame: Day 1-29 ]This study was prematurely ended by the sponsor Medarex (supplier of BsAb) due to toxicities experienced at other sites on unrelated trials leading to the decision that Medarex would not be manufacturing the investigational product (BsAb).
- Serum Markers of Macrophage Activation [ Time Frame: Day 1 Hours 0,2,4,6,24, day 15 Hours 0,2,4,6,24 ]This study was prematurely ended by the sponsor Medarex (supplier of BsAb) due to toxicities experienced at other sites on unrelated trials leading to the decision that Medarex would not be manufacturing the investigational product (BsAb).
