Purpose

RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and deliver tumor-killing substances, such as radioactive iodine, to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of radiolabeled monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients with refractory, recurrent, or advanced CNS or leptomeningeal cancer.

Official Title: Phase I Study of Intrathecal Iodine I 131 Monoclonal Antibody 8H9 in Patients With Refractory, Recurrent, or Advanced CNS or Leptomeningeal Cancer

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

OBJECTIVES:

   * Determine the maximum tolerated dose of intrathecal iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 8H9 in patients with refractory,
        recurrent, or advanced CNS or leptomeningeal cancer.
   * Determine the clinical toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
   * Determine the pharmacokinetics and dosimetry of this drug in these patients.
   * Correlate tumor response by MRI with CSF reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction in patients treated with
        this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 8H9 (^131I MOAB 8H9) intrathecally on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 2 courses (total of 2 injections) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of ^131I MOAB 8H9 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-3 years.
