简要总结
Background:
- Some cancers, such as Hodgkin's disease, anaplastic large cell lymphoma and others, have a protein on the surface of the cancer cell called CD30.
- HeFi-1 is an antibody that binds to the CD30 protein and sends signals to the cancer cells that can cause them to die.
Objectives:
- To determine the highest dose of HeFi-1 that can safely be given to patients with tumors that have the CD30 protein.
- To determine the response of the tumor to treatment with HeFi-1.
Eligibility:
- Patients 18 years of age and older with Hodgkin's disease, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, cutaneous T cell lymphoma and adult T cell leukemia or lymphoma who have signs of tumor growth or recurrence following standard treatment
- Patients' tumor cells must have the CD30 protein.
Design:
- Groups of three patients are treated with increasingly higher doses of HeFi-1 (ranging from 0.5 to 5 mg/kg) to determine the highest safe dose.
- HeFi-1 is infused through a vein on 4 days, followed by 2 days of rest over a 10-day period. Patients may receive up to 2 treatment courses if they show some response and do not have severe side effects.
- Blood samples are collected several times during the study to determine safety. A lymph node biopsy is done at the beginning of the study to test the effect of HeFi-1 on cancer cells in the test tube, and a bone marrow biopsy may be done at the end of treatment if the bone marrow was positive for tumor cells at the beginning of treatment.
详细描述
BACKGROUND:
The scientific basis for this study is the observation that antibodies directed at the ligand-binding site of CD30 induce apoptosis in vitro and cure animals bearing CD30-positive tumors.
HeFi-1, a murine monoclonal antibody developed at the NCI, specifically binds human CD30, a member of the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily, at the ligand-binding site.
CD30 is expressed on activated T-cells, Reed-Sternberg cells, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and some AIDS-related lymphoma cells.
Tumor cells from patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma are sensitive to the effects of HeFi-1 but Hodgkin's disease cell lines show variable responsiveness due to the presence of mutations in I B kinase which result in constitutive activation of NF- B.

入选标准
- •INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- •All Patients must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of malignancy by department of pathology at the enrolling institution.
- •Tumor cells must express CD
- •CD30 expression will be verified by immunohistochemistry. At least 30% of tumor cells must be CD30 positive. CD30 staining will be performed on existing tissue blocks and on fresh tumor tissue if a biopsy is performed.
- •Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease.
- •The patient must have a granulocyte count of at least 1000/mm(3) and a platelet count of 50,000/mm(3) without transfusion.
- •Patients must have a creatinine of less than 2.0 mg/dL.
- •Omission of cyotoxic chemotherapy and systemic steroids for 3 weeks prior to entry into the trial is required. Topical and inhaled steroids will be permitted.
- •Patients must have a life expectancy of greater than 2 months.
- •Eligible patients must be greater than or equal to 18 years old. There is no upper age limit.
- •Patients must have SGOT and SGPT value less than or equal to 2.0-fold greater than the upper limit of normal and bilirubin less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dL.
- •Patients must be able to understand and sign an Informed Consent form.
- •Karnofsky Performance Status greater than or equal to 70%.
排除标准
- •Patients with central nervous system disease as assessed by clinical examination. If the clinical findings suggest the presence of CNS disease a lumbar puncture should be done.
- •Pregnant and nursing patients are not eligible for the study because the effects of HeFi-1 on the developing fetus and the nursing infant are unknown. All patients must agree to use effective contraceptive measures while receiving therapy and for two weeks afterwards.
- •HIV positive patients are excluded from the study because the toxicity may be different in this population.
- •Hepatitis B surface antigen positive and Hepatitis C antibody positive patients are excluded because the toxicity of therapy may be different in this population.
- •Patients who previously received murine monoclonal antibody therapy are ineligible.
- •Patients who are HAMA positive.
- •Patients with significant renal, pulmonary, cardiovascular, endocrine, rheumatologic or allergic disease should be excluded.
