Yttrium Y 90 SMT 487 in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Cancer

Study Purpose

RATIONALE: Radiolabeled drugs such as yttrium Y 90 SMT 487 can locate tumor cells and deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of yttrium Y 90 SMT 487 in treating patients who have refractory or recurrent cancer.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

 NCT00006368
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

OBJECTIVES:

  • I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of yttrium Y 90-SMT 487 in patients with recurrent malignant neoplasms that prove positive for somatostatin receptors.
  • II. Determine the safety and lifetime serious adverse event profile of this regimen in these patients.
  • II. Determine the antitumor effect and the effect of repeated administrations on the renal excretion pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation, multicenter study. Patients undergo octreotide scintigraphy to determine the location of somatostatin receptors. Patients then receive yttrium Y 90-SMT 487 IV over 15 minutes on day 1. Treatment continues every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients each are entered on course I (vertical dose escalation) and courses II, III, and IV (horizontal dose escalation). Cohorts receive escalating doses of yttrium Y 90-SMT 487 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. MTDs are determined for a single course and for 4 courses. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which no more than 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities. Results of course I determine the dosage of subsequent courses. Patients are evaluated on days 2 and 7, and at weeks 4 and 6, following each injection of yttrium Y 90-SMT 487. Patients are followed at 12 and 18 months and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20 patients will be accrued for this study.
