Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the 2-year recurrence-free survival of patients with minimal metastatic colorectal cancer after hepatic resection when treated with adjuvant monoclonal antibody 3H1 anti-idiotype vaccine and monoclonal antibody 11D10 anti-idiotype vaccine.

Secondary

  1. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed hepatic colorectal metastases
  • Must have undergone complete resection of hepatic colorectal metastases with tumor-free margins (curative resection) at least 6, but no more than 10, weeks prior to study entry
  • No evaluable or measurable disease after hepatic resection, documented by intraoperative palpation or imaging studies including intraoperative ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI
  • No hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer type B
  • No CNS metastases

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy:

  • No prior murine antibodies (e.g., oncoscint scan)
  • No prior monoclonal antibody 3H1 anti-idiotype vaccine or monoclonal antibody 11D10 anti-idiotype vaccine

Chemotherapy:

  • No concurrent chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy:

  • No concurrent hormonal therapy except steroids for adrenal failure or hormones for non-disease-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes)

Radiotherapy:

  • Not specified

Surgery:

  • See Disease Characteristics

Other:

  • Prior treatment for primary lesion or hepatic metastases allowed
  • No concurrent immunomodulatory therapy

Patient Characteristics:

Age:

  • 18 and over

Performance status:

  • CTC 0-2

Life expectancy:

  • Not specified

Hematopoietic:

  • WBC at least 4,000/mm3
  • Platelet count at least 150,000/mm3

Hepatic:

  • Bilirubin no greater than 2 mg/dL
  • AST no greater than 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN)

Renal:

  • Creatinine no greater than 1.5 times ULN

Gastrointestinal:

  • No celiac disease
  • No familial polyposis
  • No Gardner's syndrome
  • No Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

Other:

  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • No seizure disorders requiring continuous medication
  • No history of clinically significant hypersensitivity reactions, including known hypersensitivity to rodent proteins
  • No other malignancy within the past 5 years except adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or nonmelanoma skin cancer

Expected Enrollment

A total of 63 patients will be accrued for this study within 9 months.

Outline

This is a multicenter study.

Beginning 6-12 weeks after curative hepatic resection, patients receive monoclonal antibody 3H1 anti-idiotype vaccine and monoclonal antibody 11D10 anti-idiotype vaccine intracutaneously at separate sites on days 1, 15, 29, and 45, then subcutaneously monthly for 4 months.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
