Trial summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as 3F8, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 3F8 Antibody Dose Escalation Plus Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor in High-Risk Neuroblastoma: A Phase I Trial

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as 3F8, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Colony-stimulating factors, such as GM-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy together with GM-CSF may be an effective treatment for neuroblastoma.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of monoclonal antibody 3F8 when given together with GM-CSF in treating young patients with high-risk, refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of monoclonal antibody 3F8 when administered with sargramostim (GM-CSF) in young patients with high-risk, refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma.
  • Assess anti-neuroblastoma effects of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study of monoclonal antibody 3F8.

Patients receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously once daily on days -5 to 11 and monoclonal antibody 3F8 IV over 30 minutes on days 0-4 and 7-11. Treatment repeats every 4-6 weeks for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of monoclonal antibody 3F8 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00450307
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
3F8 and GM-CSFExperimentalOne cycle has 5 days of 3F8 treatment. Each day, patients receive GM-CSF subcutaneously ~1.5 hr before the start 3F8 infusion. To limit side-effects, patients receive analgesics, antihistamines, and a small dose (IV, over ~5 minutes) of heat-modified 3F8. Cycles can be repeated after a 2-4 week interval, up to a total of two cycles.
Receives: Biological: monoclonal antibody 3F8; Biological: sargramostim

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing monoclonal antibody 3F8 and sargramostim in people with Neuroblastoma, 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 16 Oct 2013. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose of monoclonal antibody 3F8 (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00450307, 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 16 Oct 2013.
