NCT00072358

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as monoclonal antibody 3F8, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Combining monoclonal antibody 3F8 with sargramostim may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining monoclonal antibody 3F8 with sargramostim in treating patients who have neuroblastoma.

Study Arms (2)

patients have refractory bone marrow disease

EXPERIMENTAL

This phase II trial of the anti-GD2 murine IgG3 monoclonal antibody 3F8 combined with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) will assess response of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (NB) and help establish the optimal way to use GM-CSF.

Biological: anti-GD2 murine IgG3 monoclonal antibody 3F8

patients have no evidence of disease

EXPERIMENTAL

This phase II trial of the anti-GD2 murine IgG3 monoclonal antibody 3F8 combined with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) will assess response of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (NB) and help establish the optimal way to use GM-CSF.

Biological: anti-GD2 murine IgG3 monoclonal antibody 3F8

Interventions

The total dosage of 3F8 per cycle is the same as in prior trials (100 mg/m2), administered at 20 mg/m2/day and infused over \~1.5 hr or less (0.5 hr is customary), with analgesics and antihistamines used as needed for expected side-effects. 3F8 is started \~1 hr after completion of GM-CSF administration. GM-CSF is dosed at 250 mcg/m2/day from day -5 to day +1 (Wednesday to Tuesday is customary) , and is 500 mcg/m2/day thereafter (i.e., on days +2 to +4; Wednesday to Friday), as in the predecessor protocol.18,74 Patients come off study if progressive disease occurs or if there is life-threatening grade 4 toxicity from 3F8; otherwise, patients will receive a minimum of 4 cycles of treatment and will continue treatment through 24 months. It is expected that patients will receive \~10 cycles.

Also known as: patients (enrolled on study for treatment of primary refractory disease), the, break between end of a cycle of 3F8/GM-CSF and start of next cycle is 2-to-4-weeks through 4, cycles after achievement of CR in BM; subsequent breaks are ~8 weeks. In this, group, isotretinoin is started after documentation of response to, and after, >2 cycles of, 3F8/GM-CSF.
