Registration Number
NCT03363373
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Children and adults diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma patients with primary refractory disease or incomplete response to salvage treatment in bone and/or bone marrow will be treated for up to 101 weeks with naxitamab and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Patients will be followed for up to five years after first dose.

Naxitamab, also known as hu3F8 is a humanised monoclonal antibody targeting GD2

Detailed Description

Each patient will receive treatment for up to 101 weeks following the first Naxitamab administration. After the end of trial visit, each patient will enter a long-term follow-up where they will be monitored for up to 5 years after first treatment cycle.

Each investigational cycle is started with 5 days, days -4 to 0, of Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) administered at 250 µg/m2/day in advance of the start of Naxitamab administration. GM-CSF is thereafter administered at 500 µg/m2/day on days 1 to 5. As standard treatment, Naxitamab is administered at 3 mg/kg/day on days 1, 3, and 5, totalling 9 mg/kg per cycle.

Treatment cycles are repeated every 4 weeks (±1 week) until complete response or partial response followed by 5 additional cycles every 4 weeks (±1 week). Subsequent cycles are repeated every 8 weeks (±2 weeks) through 101 weeks from first infusion at the discretion of the investigator. End of treatment will take place around 8 weeks after the last cycle and thereafter long-term follow-up will continue.

After end of treatment patients will enter a long-term follow up for up to 3 years after end of treatment visit.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Response rate during Naxitamab treatment101 weeks

Overall objective response rate (ORR) during the Naxitamab treatment period that will be centrally assessed according to the International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC) modified with 123I-MIBG criteria and following the use of 18F FDG-PET for MIBG non-avid lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assessment of the Area under the Curve (AUC) of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hours

Calculation of the AUC of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.

Assessment of the terminal half-life (t½) of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hours

Calculation of the t½ of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.

Assessment of anti-drug antibody (ADA) formationPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hours

ADA formation will be investigated following a multi-tiered approach: A screening confirmation-titration analysis plus a ligand binding assay to examine a potential neutralizing effect of anti-naxitamab antibodies.

Safety of patients with positive human anti-drug antibody (ADA)101 weeks

In patients with positive ADA at trial inclusion, safety will be evaluated by the incidence of AEs and SAEs graded according to CTCAE, version 4.0

Length of time from patient response to disease progression.

Assessment of the maximum serum concentration (cmax) of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hours

Calculation of maximum serum concentration of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.
