Objectives

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of monoclonal antibody anti-alpha V beta 3 integrin (MEDI 522) in patients with refractory advanced solid tumors or lymphoma.
  2. Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients.
  3. Demonstrate significant binding of this drug to its molecular target in vivo in these patients.
  4. Determine the effects of this drug on angiogenesis in these patients.
  5. Determine antitumor activity of this drug by measuring tumor size and glucose uptake in these patients.
  6. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
  7. Determine a recommended phase II dose of this drug based on either the MTD or the optimal biologic response in these patients.

Expected Enrollment

Approximately 6-30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive monoclonal antibody anti-alpha V beta 3 integrin (Medi 522) IV over 30 minutes weekly. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of Medi 522 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
