RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 DOTA anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A, can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for advanced cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of yttrium Y 90 DOTA anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
Full description
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of yttrium Y 90 DOTA anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A (MOAB M5A).
Blood and urine samples are collected periodically for analysis of total activity by radiometric high performance liquid chromatography and to acquire data on antibody metabolism and pharmacokinetics.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for up to 6 months.
