Colorectal CancerPhase 1NCT00003543
Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Plus Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer
A Phase 1 study testing monoclonal antibody A33, carmustine and fluorouracil in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can find and locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase I Study of Combination Immunochemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can find and locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy plus combination chemotherapy in treating patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Define toxicity and the maximum tolerated dose of humanized monoclonal antibody A33 (MOAB A33) when combined with carmustine, fluorouracil, vincristine, and streptozocin in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. II. Determine the effect of chemotherapy on human antihuman antibody response and on the pharmacokinetics of humanized MOAB A33 in these patients. III. Define the humanized MOAB A33 dose for a phase II study.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of humanized monoclonal antibody A33 (MOAB A33). Patients receive humanized MOAB A33 IV once a week for 14 weeks. Chemotherapy begins on day 29 and consists of carmustine IV on days 29-33, fluorouracil IV on days 29-33 and 64-68, vincristine IV on days 29 and 64, and streptozocin IV every 7 days, beginning on day 29, for 10 doses. Courses repeat every 14 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of humanized MOAB A33. The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the dose at which no more than 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: There will be 3-18 patients accrued into this study over 2-9 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing monoclonal antibody A33, carmustine and fluorouracil in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jun 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
