About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of the Chimeric Anti-GD2 Antibody, ch14.18, in Children With High-Risk Neuroblastoma

This research trial is studying how Ch14.18 acts in the body of younger patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer receiving Ch14.18 may help doctors learn more about how this drug is used by the body to develop better ways to give the drug to potentially improve its effectiveness and lessen its side effects.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Describe the pharmacokinetics of ch14.18 (monoclonal antibody Ch14.18) in children with high-risk neuroblastoma.

II. Quantify the degree of inter-patient and intra-patient variability in the clearance of ch14.18, and correlate ch14.18 clearance with patient characteristics, the presence of human anti-chimeric antibody (HACA), tumor burden (assessed on scans), and plasma GD2 levels to identify sources of variability in the clearance.

III. Develop a pharmacokinetic model to describe the pharmacokinetic profile of ch14.18 and derive pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Correlate plasma concentrations of ch14.18 with the severity of neuropathic pain, which is being quantified using an observational pain scale, and the total dose of morphine administered to control pain.

II. Develop a limited sampling strategy that will accurately quantify the area under the curve (AUC) of ch14.18.

III. Simulate alternative dosing strategies with the pharmacokinetic model in order to reduce variability and simplify drug administration.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline and during and after course 1, 3, or 5 of treatment for pharmacokinetic analysis. Some patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline and during and after two treatment courses (1 and 3, 1 and 5, or 3 and 5).

What is being measured

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

  1. PK parameters of monoclonal antibody ch14.18 in children with high?risk neuroblastoma during and after 4 daily 10?hour infusions

    PK parameters include the peak concentration, trough concentration, AUC, clearance, volume of distribution, half-life, and mean residence time. PK parameters will be derived from the plasma concentration-time data. A one-compartment model fit to the concentration-time data will estimated the volume of distribution and the first order elimination rate constant, which will in turn be used to calculate clearance, half-life, AUC0-infinity, AUC0-last, and the mean residence time. An error function and the dependency for each fitted parameter will be reported.

    Measured: Before and after infusion on days 3-5; before, after, 4-6 hours after, and 12-14 hours after infusion on day 6; on the morning of days 10, 14, 17, and 24; and before infusion on day 31

  2. Coefficient of variation of monoclonal antibody ch14.18 clearance

    The coefficient of variation of Ch14.18 clearance is used to quantify the degree of inter-patient and intra-patient variability of monoclonal antibody ch14.18 pharmacokinetics. The relationship between patient characteristics, HACA, tumor burden, and plasma GD2 levels will be assessed graphically in an exploratory fashion with regression models.

    Measured: Up to 58 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Severity of neuropathic pain, quantified using an observational pain scale based on the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale (FLACC) and the total dose of morphine delivered

    The pain measures will be correlated with plasma concentrations of monoclonal antibody ch14.18 simulated using the PK model and the monoclonal antibody ch14.18 AUC0-96 hours. The overall drug exposure during the infusion will be correlated with the total morphine dose administered over the 4 days of treatment.

    Measured: Up to 58 days

  2. AUC of Ch14.18

    A limited sampling strategy that will accurately quantify the AUC of monoclonal antibody ch14.18 will be developed.

    Measured: Up to 58 days

  3. Alternative dosing strategies

    Alternative dosing strategies will be simulated with the pharmacokinetic model in order to reduce variability and simplify drug administration.

    Measured: Up to 58 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Localized Resectable Neuroblastoma and Localized Unresectable Neuroblastoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 1 Oct 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.

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?

PK parameters of monoclonal antibody ch14.18 in children with high?risk neuroblastoma during and after 4 daily 10?hour infusions (time frame: Before and after infusion on days 3-5; before, after, 4-6 hours after, and 12-14 hours after infusion on day 6; on the morning of days 10, 14, 17, and 24; and before infusion on day 31). 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 1 Oct 2019.
