Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 26 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2007-01-31
• Study Completion Date: 2012-05-31

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Radioactive drugs, such as iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIGB), may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and vincristine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving iodine I 131 MIGB together with irinotecan and vincristine may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of iodine I 131 MIGB when given together with irinotecan and vincristine in treating young patients with resistant or relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

• To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine when given in combination with fixed-dose irinotecan hydrochloride and vincristine in young patients with refractory or relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma.
• To determine the dose-limiting toxicities of iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine when combined with fixed-dose irinotecan hydrochloride and vincristine.

Secondary

• To determine if there is a therapeutic response to this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (^131I-MIBG).

Patients receive ^131I-MIBG IV over 1½-2 hours on day 1, vincristine IV on days 0 and 7, and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 1 hour on days 0-4 and 7-11. Treatment repeats every 56 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months thereafter.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma by histologic verification and/or demonstration of tumor cells in the bone marrow with increased urinary catecholamines
• Must have high-risk neuroblastoma AND meets at least one of the following criteria:

• Recurrent or progressive disease at any time

• Biopsy not required, even if there is partial response to intervening therapy
• Refractory disease (i.e., less than a partial response to frontline therapy, including a minimum of 4 courses of chemotherapy)

• Biopsy not required
• If the patient has not had previous myeloablative therapy, preference will be given to NANT-2001-02 (iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine [^131I-MIBG] + CEM)
• Persistent disease after at least a partial response to frontline therapy (i.e., patient still has residual disease by MIBG scan, CT/MRI scan, or bone marrow)

• Biopsy required (bone marrow biopsy included) of at least one residual site demonstrating viable neuroblastoma
• If the patient has not had previous myeloablative therapy, preference will be given to NANT-2001-02 (^131I-MIBG + CEM)
• Must have evidence of MIBG uptake into tumor at ≥ 1 site within 4 weeks prior to study entry and subsequent to any intervening therapy
• Must have autologous hematopoietic stem cell product available and it must be free of tumor cell contamination (0 tumor cells /1,000,000 nucleated cells), cryopreserved, and available for re-infusion after ^131I-MIBG treatment, if immunocytology has been performed on the stem cell product

• If immunocytology has not been performed on the stem cell product, then bilateral bone marrow aspirates and biopsies must have been negative by morphology within 4 weeks before or after the stem cell collection
• If the patient had no bone marrow disease documented at diagnosis or at any time prior to peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvest then the criteria for bilateral bone marrow aspirates/biopsies is waived
• The minimum dose is as follows:

• Purged PBSC 2.0 x 10^6 viable CD34+ cells/kg

• Immuno-magnetically purged cells are permitted
• Unpurged PBSC 2 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg (minimum is same for PBSC from identical twin)
• Cells from identical twins are permitted

• Other allogeneic cells are not allowed
• CD34+ selected cells are not permitted

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

• Lansky or Karnofsky performance status ≥ 50%
