Preclinical studies have demonstrated that recombinant IFN-alpha (rIFN-alpha) can enhance the tumor associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG-72) on tumors. To determine whether rIFN-alpha could enhance TAG-72 expression in vivo in patients, 15 women with breast cancer were randomized to receive daily injections of rIFN-alpha (3 x 10(6) units/m2 for 14 days) beginning on day 1 (group 1 = 7 patients) or on day 6 (group 2 = 8 patients). On day 3, all patients received a 10-20-mCi tracer dose of 131I-CC49, a high-affinity murine monoclonal antibody reactive against TAG-72, followed by a therapy dose of 60-75 mCi/m2 of 131I-CC49 on day 6. Whole body and single-photon emission computed tomography scans along with whole blood pharmacokinetics were performed following tracer and treatment phases. Hematological toxicity was considerable; reversible grade 3-4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia was observed in 12 of 15 patients. Twelve of 14 patients tested developed human antimouse antibodies 3-6 weeks after treatment. For group 1 patients, whole blood residence time increased significantly between that predicted from the tracer doses and therapy doses (42.6 +/- 4.7 versus 51.5 +/- 4.8 h, respectively; P < 0.01). The calculated radiation absorbed dose to red marrow from therapy compared to tracer activity was also significantly higher for this group (1.25 +/- 0.35 versus 1. 07 +/- 0.26 cGy/mCi; P < 0.05). Treatment with rIFN-alpha was found to enhance TAG-72 expression in tumors from patients receiving rIFN-alpha (group 1) by 46 +/- 19% (P < 0.05) compared to only 1.3 +/- 0.95% in patients not initially receiving IFN (group 2). The uptake of CC49 in tumors was also significantly increased in rIFN-alpha-treated patients. One partial and two minor tumor responses were seen. In summary, rIFN-alpha treatment altered the pharmacokinetics and tumor uptake of 131I-CC49 in patients at the expense of increased toxicity.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
