NCT01208454

Brief Summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of vorinostat when given together with isotretinoin to see how well it works in treating patients with high-risk refractory or recurrent neuroblastoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Isotretinoin may help vorinostat work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving vorinostat together with isotretinoin may be an effective treatment for neuroblastoma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of toxicity as assessed by NCI CTCAE v. 4.0

    All toxicities observed will be summarized in terms of type (organ affected or laboratory determination), severity (by NCI CTCAE), and attribution. Tables will be created to summarize theses toxicities and side effects by dose level and by course.

    Up to 3 years

  • MTD of vorinostat, determined according to incidence of dose-limiting toxicities graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.0

    28 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Best response, assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Up to 3 years

  • Survival

    Up to 3 years

  • Time-to-failure

    Up to 3 years

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (isotretinoin and vorinostat)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive isotretinoin PO BID on days 1-14, PO suspension\* of vorinostat QD on days 1-4 of course 1, and capsules of vorinostat PO QD on days 1-4 and 8-11 of course 2 and subsequent courses. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. EXPANSION COHORT 1 (=\< 21 years of age): Once the MTD has been determined, patients are treated at that dose level as above. EXPANSION COHORT 2 (22-30 years of age): Patients receive isotretinoin as above and vorinostat at the MTD on days 1-3 and 8-10.

Eligibility Criteria

AgeUp to 30 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must be =\< 21 years of age when registered on study for dose levels -1 to 5 and Expansion Cohort 1; patients age 22-30 years of age at time of study registration are eligible for Expansion Cohort 2
  • Patients must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma either by histologic verification of neuroblastoma and/or demonstration of tumor cells in the bone marrow with increased urinary catecholamines
  • Patients must have high-risk neuroblastoma
  • Patients must have at least ONE of the following:
  • Recurrent/progressive disease at any time; biopsy not required, even if partial response to intervening therapy
  • Refractory disease (i.e. less than a partial response to frontline therapy, including a minimum of 4 cycles of chemotherapy); no biopsy is required to document eligibility
  • Persistent disease after at least a partial response to frontline therapy (i.e. patient has had at least a partial response to frontline therapy but still has residual disease by metaiodobenzylguanidine \[MIBG\] scan, computed tomography \[CT\]/magentic resonance imaging \[MRI\], or bone marrow aspirates/biopsies); patients in this category are REQUIRED to have histologic confirmation of viable neuroblastoma from at least one residual site; tumor seen on routine bone marrow morphology is sufficient; bone marrow immunocytology alone is not sufficient for eligibility
  • Patients must have at least ONE of the following sites of disease (excluding those patients entered in the Expansion Cohort) :
  • Measurable tumor on MRI or CT scans or X-ray; measurable is defined \>= 20 mm in one dimension; for spiral CT defined as \>= 10 mm in one dimension; for patients with persistent disease, a biopsy of site seen on CT/MRI must have demonstrated viable neuroblastoma; if the lesion was radiated, then biopsy must be done \>= 4 weeks after radiation completed
  • MIBG scan with positive uptake at a minimum of one site; for patients with persistent disease, a biopsy of an MIBG positive site must have demonstrates viable neuroblastoma; if the lesion was radiated, then biopsy must be done \>= 4 weeks after radiation completed
  • Bone marrow with tumor cells seen on routine morphology (not by neuron specific enolase \[NSE\] staining only) of one bone marrow sample of a bilateral aspirate and/or biopsy
  • Patients entered in the Expansion Cohorts 1 or 2 who have had a prior relapse are eligible with no measurable or evaluable sites of tumor (i.e. in second complete response)
  • Patients must have a life expectancy of at least 6 weeks and a Lansky (=\< 16 years) or Karnofsky (\> 16 years) score of at least 50
  • Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to study enrollment
  • Must have received last dose of myelosuppressive chemotherapy at least 3 weeks prior to start of vorinostat; this includes cytotoxic agents given on a low dose metronomic regimen
  • +34 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnancy, breast feeding, or unwillingness to use effective contraception during the study; 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 and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
  • Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study
  • Patients with disease of any major organ system that would compromise their ability to withstand therapy
  • Patients with an active or uncontrolled infection; patients on prolonged antifungal therapy are still eligible if they are culture and biopsy negative in suspected radiographic lesions and meet other organ function criteria
  • Patients receiving enzyme-inducing anti-convulsants, pentamidine or azole anti-fungal therapy
  • Prior treatment with vorinostat combined with cisRA is not allowed; prior therapy with either vorinostat or cis-retinoic acid single agent or combined with alternative agents is allowed
  • Patients with a paraben allergy cannot take cisRA preparations containing this compound (i.e., Accutane, Sotret) but are eligible if they can take an alternate preparation without paraben
