  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have the diagnosis of NB in accordance with the International Criteria, i.e., either histopathology (confirmed by the MSKCC Department of Pathology) or BM involvement plus elevated urinary catecholamines.

Show all 20Show fewer
  • Patients <7days from minor surgeries (e.g. fine needle or core biopsies) and/or the unhealed wounds from these procedures are excluded.
  • Patients will be excluded if major surgery (e.g. abdominal or thoracic surgery for resection of tumor) is anticipated during the course of the study.

Hypertension is defined as average systolic blood pressure and/or diastolic blood pressure that is 95th percentile for gender, age, and height on 3 occasions93. 95th percentiles for gender, age and height are provided in Appendix A. For patients ≥18 years of age, hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure >150mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >100mmHg.

About this study

Official title: Combination of Bevacizumab, Irinotecan and Temozolomide for Relapsed or Refractory Neuroblastoma: A Phase II Study

The purpose of this study is to find how good and how safe the combination of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab is for patients with resistant or recurrent neuroblastoma. These drugs have each been given separately to patients, but they have never been given all together. Irinotecan and temozolomide are two drugs that have been used together to treat neuroblastoma in many people. These drugs are considered chemotherapy. Bevacizumab is another drug used to treat cancer. It is made by a company called Genentech. Bevacizumab is an antibody. Antibodies are proteins that are found in the blood and can attach themselves to bacteria and viruses. Bevacizumab attaches itself to a special protein in the bloodstream. This protein helps tumors grow new blood vessels. Blood vessels carry nutrients to feed the tumor. Bevacizumab is thought to block this growth of new blood vessels and starve tumors. It has been used for the treatment of many cancers in adults. It is approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with colon cancer and other cancers but not for people with neuroblastoma. There is only a small amount of information known on using this drug in children. It has been used with irinotecan before to treat cancer but not in children with neuroblastoma.

What participants receive

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

  • Bevacizumab, Irinotecan and TemozolomideDrug

    Patients will initially receive bevacizumab IV at 15mg/kg/dose (this is defined as Day 1 Three days later (starting day 4), they will receive concurrently, IV irinotecan at 50mg/m2/day x 5 days plus PO temozolomide 150mg/m2/day x 5 days. A second dose of bevacizumab will be administered 14 days after the first one(day 15). The treatment schedule may require minor adjustment as clinically indicated (e.g., due to PDH closure for holidays).

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Responses

    To evaluate tumor responses to combination of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab in patients with resistant NB.

    Measured: 15-35 days after cycle 2

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Related Toxicity

    To determine the toxicity of the combination of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab in patients with resistant NB.

    Measured: Patients will be evaluated at least once weekly for toxicity. Observation for toxicities for up to 42 days

  2. To Evaluate Changes in Angiogenic Markers After Treatment With the Combination of Irinotecan, Temozolomide and Bevacizumab.

    Measured: days 1,4, 15 and once between days 22-35 during cycle 1 and cycle 2

  3. To Measure Time to Progression in Patients With Resistant NB Treated With the Combination of Irinotecan, Temozolomide and Bevacizumab.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Irinotecan and Temozolomide 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 7 inclusion and 20 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 21 Nov 2019. 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 13 Nov 2019). 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?

Overall Responses (time frame: 15-35 days after cycle 2). 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 NCT01114555, 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 21 Nov 2019.
