Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer.
Detailed Description:
This is a dose-escalation study. Initially patients receive a scout dose of iodine-131 radiolabeled chimeric monoclonal antibody G250 (131I-cG250) administered intravenously (IV) over 10 minutes to determine whole body clearance. One week later, patients receive incremental doses of 131I-cG250 IV over 10 minutes at 2-3 day intervals for 2-6 weeks,. Dose escalation begins at least 8 weeks after the last infusion of 131I-cG250. In the absence of dose-limiting toxicity in the first 3 patients treated, subsequent cohorts of 3 patients each receive escalating doses of 131I-cG250 on the same schedule. If dose-limiting toxicity occurs in 2 of 6 patients treated at a given dose level, then dose escalation ceases and the next lower dose is declared the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Treatment continues once recovery from all toxic effects occurs, beginning 8 to 12 weeks following the last dose of 131I-cG250. Patients achieving complete remission, partial remission, or stable disease were eligible to receive up to 3 courses of treatment.
