Abstract

Purpose: This phase I study explored the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of the immunoconjugate CMD-193 [a humanized anti-Lewis Y (Ley) antibody conjugated with calicheamicin in patients with advanced cancers expressing the Ley antigen. Experimental Design: The primary objectiveswere to determine biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of CMD-193. Secondary objectives included response rates and change in tumor metabolism. Patients with progressive, measurable, and Ley positive malignancies were eligible for enrollment in one of two dose cohorts, 1.0 and 2.6 mg/m2. The first cycle was trace labeled with 111In for biodistribution assessment using υ camera imaging. Subsequent cycleswere admi..
