NCT02176967
This phase III trial studies how well response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy works in treating younger patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma. Sometimes a tumor may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. Measuring biomarkers in tumor cells may help plan when effective treatment is necessary and what the best treatment is. Response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy may be effective in treating patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma and may help to avoid some of the risks and side effects related to standard treatment.
NCT06858501
This phase II trial evaluates whether an investigational scan (18F-MFBG positron emission tomography \[PET\]/computed tomography \[CT\] or PET/magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) can accurately detect tumors in patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk neuroblastoma as well as standard of care imaging with 123 I-MIBG. 18F-MFBG is a radioactive diagnostic agent that is injected into a vein and taken up by tumor cells. The cells can then be visualized using PET/CT or PET/MRI scans. A PET scan uses radioactive material injected into the blood to show the internal workings of the body. A CT scan uses x-rays and a computer to produce a 3-dimensional image of the body. MRI uses radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. Combining PET with CT or MRI may help doctors better understand the extent and the exact location of disease. Diagnostic procedures, such as 18F-MFBG PET/CT or PET/MRI, may detect tumors as well as or better than the current standard imaging with 123 I-MIBG in patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk neuroblastoma.
NCT03126916
This phase III trial studies iobenguane I-131 or lorlatinib and standard therapy in treating younger patients with newly-diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma. Radioactive drugs, such as iobenguane I-131, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Lorlatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving iobenguane I-131 or lorlatinib and standard therapy may work better compared to lorlatinib and standard therapy alone in treating younger patients with neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma.
NCT04040088
This trial studies how well an investigational scan called 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT works in diagnosing pediatric patients with neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic). A neuroendocrine tumor is an abnormal growth of neuroendocrine cells, which are cells resembling nerve cells and hormone-producing cells. 68Ga-DOTATATE is a radioactive substance called a radiotracer that when used with PET/CT scans, may work better than standard of care MIBG scans in diagnosing pediatric metastatic neuroendocrine tumors and targeting them with radiation therapy.
NCT01798004
This pilot clinical trial studies busulfan, melphalan, and stem cell transplant after chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma that is likely to come back or spread. Giving chemotherapy to the entire body before a stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. More chemotherapy or radiation therapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.
NCT06296732
Surgery plays significant role in treatment of neurogenic tumors, both for benign ganglioneuroma and for high risk neuroblastoma. The world literature has accumulated large experience in laparoscopic surgery for abdominal neuroblastoma. The presence of IDRF (image-defined risk factors) and tumor size (\>4-7 cm) are considered as common contraindications for minimally invasive surgery in neuroblastoma. However, the recent studies have shown that presence of IDRF is not an absolute contraindication for laparoscopic surgery. This open-label, nonrandomized, observational, phase III evaluates role and weight of different surgical risk factors (including IDRF, tumor size, tumor localization, tumor volume/patient height ratio, previous open surgical procedures, previous chemotherapy etc.) in the laparoscopic neuroblastoma resections. The aim of this study is to create novel risk factors scoring system for laparoscopic surgery in abdominal neuroblastoma.
NCT06071897
The modern strategy of therapy of high-risk neuroblastoma, stage 4, consists of three phases - induction, consolidation and post- consolidation. Still current approaches demonstrates insufficient levels of ORR (overall response rate), OS (overall survival) and EFS (event free survival). NB-HR-2023 (neuroblastoma high risk) protocol aimed to investigate tolerability and toxicity and potential improvement of ORR, OS and EFS by overcoming of tumor heterogeneous drug resistance using the synergistic interaction of cytostatic and immunobiological agents in the induction. Protocol include the combination of standard chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with anti-GD2 MAB, which is potentially expected to improve outcomes in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma, 4th stage older 18 months. Currently, treatment with combinations of cytostatics with immunobiological agents is limited due to the risk of complications, which, nevertheless, is controlled with proper monitoring and concomitant therapy. Still no data about use of combination of standard chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with ch14.18/CHO MAB (dinutuximab beta) in induction in primary patients with neuroblastoma. Prospective, interventional trial include patients with neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma, 4th stage of the high-risk group older 18 months, who will receive combination of standard induction chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with anti-GD2 MAB. Consolidation and post consolidation chemotherapy courses are not the subjects for analysis. Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma, stage 4, older 18 months who receive combination of standard induction chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with anti-GD2 MAB at the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center Of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology Delayed surgery (if needed) will be done after the 4th or 6th course of induction therapy and stem cells apheresis after the 2nd-5th course of induction therapy.
NCT02095132
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of adavosertib and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating younger patients with solid tumors that have come back (relapsed) or that have not responded to standard therapy (refractory). Adavosertib and irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT01767194
This randomized phase II trial studies how well irinotecan hydrochloride and temozolomide with temsirolimus or dinutuximab work in treating younger patients with neuroblastoma that has returned or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as dinutuximab, may find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether giving irinotecan hydrochloride and temozolomide together with temsirolimus or dinutuximab is more effective in treating neuroblastoma.
