NMTRC014

Clinical Trial Title Neuroblastoma Maintenance Therapy Trial Using Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO)
Trial Status Open to Enrollment
Start Date 02/01/2016
Location Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel
Trial Type Pediatric Cancer (Oncology)
Specific Condition Neuroblastoma
Description Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) will be used in an open label, single agent, multicenter, study for patients with neuroblastoma in remission. In this study subjects will receive 730 Days of oral difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) at a dose of 750 mg/m2 ± 250 mg/m2 BID (strata 1, 2, 3, and 4) OR 2500 mg/m2 BID (stratum 1B) on each day of study. This study will focus on the use of DFMO in high-risk neuroblastoma patients that are in remission as a strategy to prevent recurrence.
Eligibility Criteria

Eligible Patients

  • All patients must have a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of neuroblastoma, < 30.99 years of age and classified as high risk at the time of diagnosis. Exception: patients who are initially diagnosed as non-high-risk neuroblastoma, but later converted (and/or relapsed) to high risk neuroblastoma are also eligible.
  • All patients must be in complete remission (CR):

    1. No evidence of residual disease on scan
    2. No evidence of disease metastatic to bone marrow.

  • Specific Criteria by Stratum:

Stratum 1B: All patients must have completed standard upfront therapy that replicates treatment which patients who were enrolled on ANBL0032 received, including:

intensive induction chemotherapy and (if feasible) resection of primary tumor, followed by: consolidation with high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant and radiotherapy, followed by: immunotherapy with Ch14.18/IL-2/GM-CSF (dinutuximab) and retinoic acid;.

All subjects on Stratum 1B must have also met the following criteria:

• A pre-transplant disease status evaluation that met International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC) for CR (complete response), VGPR (very good partial response), or PR (partial response) for primary site, soft tissue metastases and bone metastases. Patients who meet those criteria must also meet the protocol-specified criteria for bone marrow response prior to transplant as outlined below: No more than 10% tumor involvement (based on total nucleated cellular content) seen on any specimen from a bilateral bone marrow aspirate/biopsy.

Stratum 1B: Enrollment no later than 60 days after completion of upfront therapy, (last dose of cis-retinoic acid) with a maximum of 6 cycles of cis-retinoic acid maintenance therapy.

Strata 1, 2, 3, 4 are closed to enrollment. Only stratum 1B remains open to enrollment.
