Brief Summary: RATIONALE Interleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stimulating a persons white blood cells to kill cancer cells
PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-12 in treating patients with cancer in the abdomen
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the maximum tolerated dose of intraperitoneal interleukin-12 in patients with Mullerian carcinoma closed to accrual as of 82301 gastrointestinal carcinoma or peritoneal mesothelioma closed to accrual as of 82301 II Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity and reversibility of toxicity of this regimen in these patients
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation multicenter study Patients receive intraperitoneal interleukin-12 over 30 minutes once weekly for 4 weeks Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression Patients with stable or responsive disease may receive an additional 6 courses Patients receive escalating doses of intraperitoneal interleukin-12 until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity Once the MTD is established additional patients are accrued to receive interleukin-12 at the recommended dose
PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 20-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years
