90Y-DOTA-anti-CD25 Basiliximab, Fludarabine, Melphalan, and Total Marrow and Lymphoid Irradiation for the Treatment of High-Risk Acute Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase I trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of 90Y-DOTA-anti-CD25 basiliximab given together with fludarabine, melphalan, and total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) in treating patients with high-risk acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. 90Y-DOTA-anti-CD25 basiliximab is a monoclonal antibody, called basiliximab, linked to a radioactive agent called 90Y-DOTA. Basiliximab attaches to CD25 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers 90Y-DOTA to kill them. Fludarabine and melphalan are common chemotherapy drugs used to prepare the bone marrow to receive transplanted cells. TMLI is a different type of targeted radiation therapy used to prepare the bone marrow to receive transplanted cells. Giving 90Y-DOTA-anti-CD25 basiliximab together with fludarabine, melphalan, and TMLI may help prepare the bone marrow to receive the transplanted cells for improved transplant outcomes in patients with acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
