Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of a malignancy known to expressGD2. Such tumors include medulloblastoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the CNS, high grade astrocytomas, malignant glioma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, ependymoma, rhabdoid tumors, sarcomas, melanoma or small cell lung carcinoma. For patients with other tumor types, GD2 expression must be confirmed by immunohistochemical staining and assessed by the Department of Pathology using prior frozen tissue, bone marrow or CSF cytology (send to Research Lab).

  • Patients must have an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000/ul and a platelet count > 50,000/ul.
  • Patients may have active malignancy outside the central nervous system.
  • Patients who have a programmable shunt will not be excluded.
  • Both pediatric and adult patients of any age are eligible.
  • Patients or a legal guardian will sign an informed consent form approved by the IRB and obtained by the Principal or a Co- Investigator before patient entry. Minors will provide assent.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with obstructive or symptomatic communicating hydrocephalus.
  • Patients with an uncontrolled life-threatening infection.
  • Patients who are pregnant: Pregnant women are excluded for fear of danger to the fetus. Therefore negative pregnancy test is required for all women of child-bearing age, and appropriate contraception is required during the study period.
  • Patients who have received cranial or spinal irradiation less than 3 weeks prior to the start of this protocol.
  • Patients who have received systemic chemotherapy (corticosteroids not included) less than 3 weeks prior to the start of this protocol.
  • Severe major organ toxicity. Specifically, renal, cardiac, hepatic, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal system toxicity should all be less than or equal to grade 2. Patients with stable neurological deficits (because of their brain tumor) are not excluded. Patients with <= 3 hearing loss are not excluded.
  • Patients must have no rapidly progressing or deteriorating neurologic examination.
  • Patients who have already received >45 Gy to the craniospinal radiation or >72 Gy focal brain radiation.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Intrathecal I-3F8 in Patients With GD2-Expressing Central Nervous System and Leptomeningeal Neoplasms

RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8, can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for central nervous system cancer or leptomeningeal metastases.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 works in treating patients with central nervous system cancer or leptomeningeal cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine if intrathecal iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 activity in patients with GD2-expressing central nervous system or leptomeningeal neoplasms is sufficiently promising (i.e., 6-month overall survival rate ≥ 25%) to warrant further study.
  • Determine the response rate in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the cumulative toxicities of this drug in these patients.
  • Describe the effects of human-antimouse antibody on cerebrospinal fluid and serum pharmacokinetics in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive intrathecal iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 for dosimetry. Beginning approximately 1 week later, patients receive intrathecal iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 on day 1. Treatment intrathecal iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 repeats weekly for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples are collected prior to and after administration of each course of study drug. Samples are analyzed to assess the intrathecal and blood pharmacokinetics of iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 and serum human antimouse antibodies. Samples are also analyzed in tumor genetic studies.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 3 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Six-month Overall Survival

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Number of Participants With Response at 6 Months

    Complete Response (CR): Cytologic and radiographic CR will be evaluated separately, since patients with cytologic clearing and clinical response may continue to have residual abnormalities on MRI scans. Patients with a CR must also have stable or improved neurologic exam.

    Stable Disease (SD): Exists when a patient fails to fulfill the criteria for either complete or partial response or progressive disease.

    Progressive Disease (PD): An increase of at least 50% in the absolute number of malignant cells in the CSF OR, in -solid tumor patients, an increase of greater than 25% in the size of measurable lesions on MR scan OR the recurrence of malignant cells in the CSF or new lesions on MR after a patient has attained a complete remission OR evidence of clinical neurologic progression. New sites of or increasing evidence of leptomeningeal enhancement that is not "measurable" will also be considered evidence of disease progression.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants Evaluable for Toxicities

    Toxicities will be assessed via the NCI toxicity criteria (CTC 3.0).

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DNA analysis, immunologic technique and pharmacological study in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors and Intraocular Melanoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. 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 4 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Six-month Overall Survival (time frame: 6 months). 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?
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 4 Apr 2024.
