About this study

Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumor originated from primitive neural crest cells. It is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. It is characterized by abundant blood vessels, rapid growth and early metastasis.With the gradual improvement of diagnosis and treatment technology, the survival rate of children with Neuroblastoma in China has been increasing year by year, but the Overall Survival is still lower than that in European and American countries, so new and efficient treatment methods are urgently needed in clinical practice.Anti-angiogenesis target therapy is an important component of the malignant tumor treatment, hydrochloric acid for Anlotinib has the anti-tumor angiogenesis and suppress tumor growth, Anlotinib currently in thyroid carcinoma, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, soft nest, cervical cancer, soft tissue sarcoma and so on the many kinds of cancer are conducting clinical trials, but in neuroblastoma application has not been reported.The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Anlotinib and irinotecan combined with temozolomide in the treatment of refractory or recurrent Neuroblastoma in children.Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumor originated from primitive neural crest cells. It is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. It is characterized by abundant blood vessels, rapid growth and early metastasis.It accounts for 8%-10% of all malignant tumors in children, with an annual incidence of 0.3-5.5/100,000.The prognosis of Neuroblastoma was closely related to age at diagnosis, clinical stage, tumor pathological type, N-myc gene copy number and DNA index.According to the above five indicators, the Children's Oncology Group divided NB into low, medium and high risk groups.According to the 2013 Children's Oncology Group data, the current 5-year Overall Survival of low - and moderate-risk Neuroblastoma patients was 90%, while the Overall Survival of high-risk patients was only 50%.The current treatment of Neuroblastoma is a multidisciplinary combination of surgery, chemoradiotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.With the gradual improvement of diagnosis and treatment technology, the survival rate of children with NB in China has been increasing year by year, but the Overall Survival is still lower than that in European and American countries, so new and efficient treatment methods are urgently needed in clinical practice.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Anlotinib and irinotecan combined with temozolomide in people with Refractory or Recurrent Neuroblastoma in Children, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital.

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 26 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

progression-free survival (time frame: up to six months). 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 13 Apr 2021.
