NCT04385277

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies if dinutuximab, GM-CSF, isotretinoin in combination with irinotecan, and temozolomide (chemo-immunotherapy) can be given safely to patients with high-risk neuroblastoma after Consolidation therapy (which usually consists of two autologous stem cell transplants and radiation) who have not experienced worsening or recurrence of their disease. Dinutuximab represents a kind of cancer therapy called immunotherapy. Unlike chemotherapy and radiation, dinutuximab targets the cancer cells without destroying nearby healthy cells. Sargramostim helps the body produce normal infection-fighting white blood cells. Isotretinoin helps the neuroblastoma cells become more mature. These 3 drugs (standard immunotherapy) are already given to patients with high-risk neuroblastoma after Consolidation because they have been proven to be beneficial in this setting. Chemotherapy drugs, such as irinotecan and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. They may also affect how well immunotherapy works on neuroblastoma cells. Giving chemo-immunotherapy after intensive therapy may work better in treating patients with high-risk neuroblastoma compared to standard immunotherapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Patients Who Complete 5 Cycles of Dinutuximab + Chemotherapy Without Progressive Disease (PD)

    Will be assessed by estimation of the feasibility therapy completion rate together with a 95% Wilson confidence interval (CI).

    Within 30 weeks from the date of first treatment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Event-free Survival (EFS)

    From the time of start of protocol therapy to the occurrence of disease relapse or progression, secondary malignancy, or death, assessed at 1 year.

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    From the time of start of protocol therapy to death, assessed at 1 year.

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (temozolomide, irinotecan, dinutuximab)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive temozolomide PO or via enteral tube daily and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes daily on days 1-5, dinutuximab IV over 10-20 hours daily on days 2-5, sargramostim SC or IV over 2 hours daily on days 6-12, and isotretinoin PO BID on days 8-21. Patients undergo MUGA during screening. Patients also undergo MRI, or CT, I23I-MIBG, or FDG-PET, BM aspiration, and BM biopsy on study. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 5 cycles (up to 6 cycles for isotretinoin only) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
