Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well temozolomide works in treating patients with high-risk relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the anti-tumor activity of temozolomide in young patients with high-risk relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.

Secondary

* Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this drug.
* Determine tolerability of this drug in these patients
* Determine the tumor expression of the cellular repair mechanisms which repair DNA damage (O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase \[MGMT\] and mismatch repair \[MMR\] systems) in patients treated with this drug.
* Correlate MGMT and MMR expression with outcomes in patients treated with this drug.
* Determine if MGMT and MMR expression/activity changes in the tumor during initial presentation, treatment, and relapse/progression in patients treated with this drug.
* Determine the activity of MGMT in bone marrow taken at relapse, in terms of hematological toxicity, in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, open label, nonrandomized study.

Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily for 5 days. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses. Patients achieving stable or responding disease after completion of the 2 courses may receive up to 10 additional courses of treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study.
