Treatment of Tac-Expressing Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) and Adult T-Cell Leukemia (ATL) With Yttrium-90 Radiolabeled Anti-Tac
Treatment of Tac-Expressing Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) and Adult T-Cell Leukemia (ATL) With Yttrium-90 Radiolabeled Anti-Tac
The study purpose is to evaluate the clinical response to multidose administration of
 anti-Tac monoclonal antibody conjugated with 10 mCi 90Y in patients with Tac-expressing adult
 T-cell leukemia (ATL).
The study purpose is to evaluate the clinical response to multidose administration of
 anti-Tac monoclonal antibody conjugated with 10 mCi 90Y in patients with Tac-expressing adult
 T-cell leukemia (ATL). This study represents an extension of phase I trial (Clinical Project
 #90-C-0043, FDA IND #3469) which permitted the administration of 5 mCi, 10 mCi, and 15mCi
 90Y-anti-Tac to patients with ATL. We propose to administer 90Y-anti-Tac (10 mCi doses) to
 patients with Tac-expressing ATL who are over 18 years of age and who fill the patient
 eligibility criteria.
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

 Histologically confirmed adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
 (CTCL).

 Reactivity of at least 10% of peripheral blood, lymph node, or dermal malignant cells with
 anti-Tac as determined by immunofluorescent staining or soluble IL-2 receptor level greater
 than 1,500 U required.

 All stages of Tac-expressing T-cell leukemia and lymphoma eligible except Stage I CTCL.

 All forms of ATL eligible, including the "smoldering" type as well as aggressive disease.

 No symptomatic CNS disease other than tropical spastic paraparesis.

 Asymptomatic CNS disease with demonstrable malignant cells in the CSF allowed (such
 patients receive CNS therapy, e.g., intrathecal methotrexate and/or CNS irradiation, as
 appropriate).
