2.1.1.4 At least 10% of the cells obtained from lymph node, or extranodal sites must react with anti-cluster of differentiation 25 (CD25) (anti-Tac) on immunofluorescent or immunoperoxidase staining. Because of the high frequency of CD25 positivity of the infiltrating Tcells in HL tumors, patients with CD25-positive infiltrating T cells will be eligible even if their Hodgkin's (Reed-Sternberg) cells are CD25-negative.

2.1.1.6 Omission of cytotoxic chemotherapy or other systemic therapy of the malignancy for greater than or equal to 4 weeks prior to entry into the trial. Patients must be greater than or equal to 4 weeks since major surgery, radiotherapy, or biotherapy/targeted therapies and recovered from the toxicity of prior treatment to less than or equal to CTC grade 1, exclusive of grade 2 alopecia, fatigue, lymphopenia, cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ circulating T cells, white blood cell (WBC) or bilirubin.

2.1.1.7 Patients must be greater than or equal to 18-years old.

2.1.1.8 Patients must have a life expectancy of greater than 3 months.

2.1.1.9 Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of less than or equal to 1.

2.1.1.10 The patient must have a granulocyte count of at least 1,500/microL and a platelet count of greater than 100,000/microL.

2.1.1.11 Patients must have a creatinine of less than 2.0 mg/dL, or if the patient has a serum creatinine greater than or equal to 2.0, a measured creatinine clearance (Ccr) must be greater than 60 mL/min/1.73m(2).

2.1.1.12 Patients must have a serum alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) less than 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), unless due to liver or bone involvement by HL. Under these circumstances, serum alkaline phosphatase, SGPT and SGOT must be less than 5 times ULN.

2.1.1.13 Patients must have a total serum bilirubin less than 2.5 times ULN.

2.1.1.14 Patients must have a cardiac ejection fraction greater than 45% on 2D echocardiography or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) obtained within 28 days of study enrollment.

2.1.1.15 Lung diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) greater than 50%, or forced expiratory volume at 1.0 seconds (FEV1.0) greater than 65% of predicted on pulmonary function testing (PFT) obtained within 28 days of study enrollment.

2.1.1.16 Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) pregnancy test at initial screening and within 3 days prior to registration.

2.1.1.17 The effects of (90)Y-daclizumab on the developing human fetus are unknown. Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, while receiving treatment and for 4 months after undergoing ASCT. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

2.1.1.18 Patients receiving a stable dose (greater than 4 weeks) of corticosteroid therapy equivalent to 20 mg of prednisone per day or less are eligible.

2.1.1.19 Patients must be able to understand and sign informed consent.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

2.1.2.1 Patients who have relapsed from their initial Adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) ABVD or similar standard treatment regimen and have not received any other chemotherapy or salvage systemic treatment.

2.1.2.2 Patients that have received prior radioimmunotherapy.

2.1.2.2. Patients enrolled on another therapeutic study.

2.1.2.3 Patients that have received prior radioimmunotherapy.

2.1.2.4 Patients that have received a prior autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant

2.1.2.5.Patients that have received prior radiation to the lung, excluding prior mediastinal

radiation.

2.1.2.6 Patients with greater than 25% involvement of the bone marrow with HL.

2.1.2.7 Patients with evidence of myelodysplasia, leukemia by morphology, immunostains flow cytometry or abnormal cytogenetics on a bone- marrow aspirate or biopsy. The diagnosis of myelodysplasia will be made by an independent investigator of the Laboratory of Pathology, National Cancer Institute (NCI) taking into consideration the totality of the clinical, pathological, flow cytometric and cytogenetic information described in Appendix E and present in a particular individual s evaluation.

2.1.2.9 Patients with an active second primary cancer will not be eligible. Patients curatively treated for a second cancer greater than 5 years prior to enrollment without a recurrence are eligible. Patients curatively treated for a second primary cancer within the last 5 years with a less than or equal to 5% risk of recurrence are eligible. Patients with a history of curatively treated basal cell carcinoma or intraepithelial neoplasia of the uterine cervix will be allowed on study.

2.1.2.10 Patients with serum human anti-human antibody (HAHA) against daclizumab.

2.1.2.11 Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (antibody positive with positive confirmatory molecular test).

2.1.2.2 Patients who have chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C.

2.1.2.13 Patients with an uncontrolled serious infection.
