A Phase I-II Study Evaluating the Maximum Tolerated Dose, Dosimetry, Safety, and Efficacy of Ultratrace Iobenguane I 131 in Patients With Malignant Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma


This is a phase 1 and phase 2 study. The phase 1 patients will be enrolled before the phase
2 patients are enrolled. Each patient will receive a small dose to see if the tumors absorb
the drug. If the patient's tumors absorb the drug, then the patient will receive one
therapeutic dose. In the phase 1 portion, every 3 patients will be given the same
therapeutic dose, and usually each group of 3 patients will be given a larger dose than
people who were enrolled before them. Enrollment in the phase 1 portion will be complete
once researches believe that they have found the highest dose that they can give patients
without causing unacceptable toxicity. This dose is called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
All phase 2 patients will receive the MTD. Each patient in phase 1 and phase 2 will be
followed for 5 years following their therapeutic dose. During this 5-year follow-up period,
patients will undergo tests such as 1.) CT or MRI scans and blood and urine tests to
determine if the tumors shrink, grow, or stay the same; 2.) bone scans to see if the tumor
has spread to or increased in the bones and, 3.) a quality of life test to see how the
symptoms of pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma affect patients' daily lives.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Have a diagnosis of either adrenal pheochromocytoma or extra-adrenal paraganglioma by
histological confirmation OR plasma-free metanephrines and 24-hour urine test for
catecholamines/ metanephrines

- Disease is metastatic or has recurred following surgery

- At least one measurable lesion seen by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance
(MR) scan performed within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug

- At least one known tumor site is also seen on Ultratrace iobenguane I 131 scan

- Provide written informed consent and are willing to comply with protocol requirements

- Are at least 18 years of age

- If female, then not of childbearing potential as documented by history (e.g., tubal
ligation or hysterectomy) or is post menopausal with a minimum 1 year without menses

- If female of childbearing potential, has a negative serum b-HCG pregnancy test within
48 hours prior to receiving iobenguane I 131

- Females who agree not to become pregnant and males who agree not to father a child
during the 1 year period following the therapeutic dose of Ultratrace iobenguane I
131. Both females and males must use an acceptable method of birth control during
the first year following the therapeutic dose of Ultratrace iobenguane I 131.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Females who are nursing

- Received external beam radiotherapy to greater than 25 percent of bone marrow

- Administered prior chemotherapy within 30 days of study entry

- Karnofsky performance status is less than 60

- Platelets are less than 100,000/uL

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is less than 1,500/uL

- Serum creatinine is greater than 1.5 mg/dL

- Total bilirubin is greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal

- AST/SGOT or ALT/SGPT is greater than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal

- Has received a therapeutic investigational compound and/or medical device within 30
days before admission into this study

- Has any medical condition or other circumstances which would significantly decrease
the chances of obtaining reliable data, achieving study objectives, or completing the
study and/or post dose follow-up examinations

- Is determined by the Investigator that the patient is clinically unsuitable for the
study.

- Has received a medication which inhibits uptake of iobenguane I 131:

- phenothiazines or decongestants within 2 weeks prior to enrollment; or,

- a tricyclic antidepressant within 6 weeks prior to enrollment.
