About this study

Official title: I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-MIBG) Therapy for Refractory Neuroblastoma, A Phase II Study

RATIONALE: Radioactive drugs, such as 131 I-MIBG, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well 131 I-MIBG works in treating patients with refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine if iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine can provide palliative therapy for patients with refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma.
  • Determine the acute and late toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine disease and symptom responses of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a compassionate use study.

Patients receive iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine IV over 2 hours. Beginning 10 days later, patients with low neutrophil counts receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously until blood count recovers. Patients with stable or responding disease may receive a second dose of iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine at least 6 weeks after the first dose.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim and iobenguane I 131 in people with Neuroblastoma, run by University of California, San Francisco at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ability of iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine to provide palliative therapy. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00293319, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Aug 2014.
