Clinical Trials

A Phase I Study of Intraperitoneal Radioimmunotherapy with 131I-8H9 for Patients with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors and Other Solid Peritoneal Tumors

Protocol
09-090
Full Title
Phase I Study of Intraperitoneal Radioimmunotherapy with 131I-8H9 for Patients with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors and Other Solid Tumors Involving the Peritoneum
Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of different dose levels of the radiolabelled antibody 8H9 injected into the lining of the abdomen or peritoneum to treat patients with desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSCRT) or other solid peritoneal tumors. This medicine is an antibody which binds to certain tumors, including DSCRT. Radioactive iodine is bound to 8H9 to deliver radiation directly to the tumor to kill tumor cells.
