title: A Phase I study of combined modality (90)Yttrium-CC49 intraperitoneal radioimmunotherapy for ovarian cancer.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and maximum tolerated dose of (90)Yttrium-CC49 ((90)Y-CC49) as the radioimmunotherapy (RIT) component of an i.p. combined modality treatment for recurrent ovarian cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  A Phase I trial of (90)Y-CC49 RIT was conducted in ovarian cancer patients who had persistent or recurrent intra-abdominal disease, had failed one or two prior chemotherapy regimens, and demonstrated TAG-72 expression. Patients were treated with a previously established combined modality treatment protocol of s.c. IFN alpha2b, i.p. paclitaxel, and increasing dosages of i.p. (90)Y-CC49. Patients were monitored for toxicity, generation of human antimouse antibody response, and clinical efficacy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty eligible patients were treated per study specifications. All patients had been treated with debulking and paclitaxel/carboplatin-based chemotherapy at initial diagnosis. The patients included 11 patients with persistent disease at the time of second look laparotomy and 9 patients with delayed recurrence. Patients were treated with i.p. (90)Y-CC49 given in combination with s.c. IFN alpha2b (dose of 3 x 10(6) units for a total of four doses) and i.p. paclitaxel (dose of 100 mg/m(2)). RIT treatment was associated with primarily hematological toxicity. The maximum tolerated dose of i.p. (90)Y-CC49 was established at 24.2 mCi/m(2) in this combined regimen. Of nine patients with measurable disease, two had partial responses lasting 2 and 4 months. Of 11 patients with nonmeasurable disease, median time to progression was 6 months in 7 patients who recurred; 4 of these patients remain no evidence of disease at 9+, 18+, 19+, and 23+ months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  (90)Yttrium-CC49-based RIT in combination with IFN alpha2b and i.p. paclitaxel is feasible and well tolerated at a dose of < or =24.2 mCi/m(2).
