NCT02868268

Brief Summary

This proposal sets forth the platform for a Precision Medicine clinical trial through the New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy (NANT) consortium. The plan is to utilize NANT's established multi-institutional infrastructure and Translational Genomics Research Institute GEM sequencing platform for acquisition and gene panel sequencing of relapsed biological specimens in relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma (rNB) including those obtained from the bone, bone marrow or soft tissue. Our primary aim is to identify subgroups of rNB patients who have potentially targetable genetic (ALK, MAPK pathway, Metabolic-related genes) and/or immunologic (tumor-associated macrophage infiltration and/or programmed death ligand \[PD-L1\] expression) biomarkers in rNB. Additional potential novel biomarkers will also be evaluated and reported in this cohort of patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Identify genomic alterations, whether targetable alterations are present and within 4 defined NBL subgroups or outside of these 4 defined NBL subgroups. Identify presence/absence of immunologic biomarkers common to NBL.

    Archival or biopsied tumor specimens undergo gene panel sequencing and/or immunohistochemistry and a list of all genetic/immunologic alterations are identified. Was an actionable genetic alteration identified and were any of these alterations within 4 NBL specific subgroups (ALK, MAPK, Metabolic, Immune reactive) or outside of the 4 NBL specific subgroups.

    6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • How many subjects are biopsied or provide available tumor that is found to be adequate for gene panel sequencing and produces a clinical report

    6 weeks

  • How many patients with bone marrow aspirates performed that contain < 30% tumor cells are able to be enriched and genetic alterations identified

    1 year

Study Arms (1)

Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma Pts

History of high risk neuroblastoma (NBL) according to Childrens Oncology Group (COG) risk classification with relapsed/progressive, refractory or persistent neuroblastoma. Archival or biopsied tumor specimens are provided for gene panel sequencing to subjects with potentially targetable genetic and/or immunologic biomarkers. A clinical report will be provided to subjects/subject physician detailing observed mutations and identified NBL subgroups and information on clinical trials that best match them. Subjects will be followed and data collected on treatments administered for one year after receiving this clinical report.

Other: Gene panel sequencing of tumor specimens

Interventions

Archival or biopsied tumor specimens will undergo gene panel sequencing to identify subgroups with targetable genetic (ALK, MAPK pathway, Metabolic-related genes) and/or immunologic (tumor associated macrophage infiltration, PD-L1 expression) biomarkers in neuroblastoma. A clinical report will be provided to subjects/subject physician detailing observed mutations and identified NBL subgroups and information on clinical trials that best match them. Subjects will be followed and data collected on treatments administered for one year after receipt of clinical report.

Study Population

High risk neuroblastoma

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must be ≥ 1 year and ≤ 30 years of age at study registration
  • Patients must have had a diagnosis of neuroblastoma either by histological verification of neuroblastoma and/or demonstration of tumor cells in the bone marrow with increased urinary catecholamines.
  • Patients must have a history of high-risk neuroblastoma according to
  • COG risk classification at the time of study registration. Patients must have at least one of the following: Recurrent/progressive disease, Refractory disease, Persistent disease
  • Patient must be willing to undergo a clinically indicated biopsy and meet at least one of the following requirements: Bone biopsy, Soft tissue biopsy, Bone marrow biopsy and aspirate
  • Patients must not be receiving any other anti-cancer agents or radiotherapy during the interval

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with disease of any major organ system that would compromise their ability to withstand biopsy procedures of soft tissue, bone and/or bone marrow.
  • Patients who enroll and successfully receive a NANT Precision Report may not re-enroll at a future time.
  • Patient declines participation in NANT 2004-05, the NANT Biology Study.
