High-Dose 3F8/GM-CSF Immunotherapy Plus 13-Cis-Retinoic Acid for Consolidation of First Remission After Myeloablative Therapy and Autologous Stem-Cell Transplantation

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Neuroblastoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01183416
Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if high-dose 3F8 combined with GM-CSF is better than standard dose 3F8 in treating neuroblastoma. Another purpose of the study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, 3F8 has on cancer. The investigators also want to see if the antibody works against a very small amount of neuroblastoma (minimal residual disease) that is left in the bone marrow.

3F8 monoclonal antibody and 13-cis-Retinoic Acid3F8 monoclonal antibody and 13-cis-Retinoic AcidThis phase II, open-label, single arm trial assesses the anti-NB activity of high-dose 3F8 (80 mg/m2/day), which is used in cycles 1-2, with return to standard 3F8 dosage (20 mg/m2/day) in subsequent cycles. The patients are post-transplant and in 1st complete/very good partial remission (CR/VGPR),89 with no evidence of NB by standard studies, but are at high risk for relapse.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assess the Impact of High-dose 3F8/GM-CSF on Relapse-free Survival2 years

in patients who are post-stem-cell transplantation and in first complete or very good partial remission, but at high risk of relapse.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Monitor Safety of the High-dose Antibody Treatment2 years

to assure no side-effects or noxious sequelae develop or emerge that were not seen in the prior phase I study.

Apply Real-time Quantitative RT-PCR to Test the Hypothesis That the Minimal Residual Disease Content of Bone Marrow2 years

after the first treatments with 3F8/GMCSF has significant prognostic impact on relapse-free survival.
