Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment by using a genuine medical doctor. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your doctor on Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma Clinical research trials and Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma healthcare trials occur in a lot of of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to find treatments for all kinds of conditions, including Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma. Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to access health treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Many times the test subjects get treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma clinical trial. Test subjects typically receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and could include extra or frequent dr. calls, health hazards (perhaps life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma



Monoclonal Antibody Plus Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma

For Condition: recurrent adult Hodgkin's lymphoma,recurrent adult acute myeloid leukemia,relapsing chronic myelogenous leukemia,chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia,atypical chronic myeloid leukemia
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill leukemia or lymphoma cells. Combining these two therapies may be an effective treatment for leukemia and lymphoma. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy plus interleukin-2 in treating patients who have leukemia or lymphoma.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Assess the safety and tolerability of a multidose regimen of humanized anti-Tac monoclonal antibody (HAT) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) in patients with leukemia and lymphoma. - Describe the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of HAT and IL-2 in a multidose schedule, including serum half-life of free HAT, area under the curve, and volume of distribution. - Evaluate the immunogenicity of HAT. - Identify immunologic parameters that correlate with efficacy. - Evaluate the preliminary efficacy of HAT in these patients. - Monitor patients receiving indium-111-labeled HAT for circulating infused antibody for pharmacokinetics, tumor imaging, and bioactivity (binding ability). OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to disease (Hodgkin's lymphoma vs acute myelogenous leukemia vs chronic myelogenous leukemia). Patients receive humanized anti-TAC monoclonal antibody (HAT) IV over 30 minutes on day 1, then IV over 30 minutes every 7 days and interleukin-2 subcutaneously daily. Treatment continues for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or development of neutralizing antibodies. Patients are followed weekly for 2 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma and 14 each with AML and CML will be accrued for this study.
