About this study
Official title: Clinical Research of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Treatment of Children With Stage 4/M Neuroblastoma: A Prospective, Single-arm, Phase II, Multi-center Trial
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor of embryonal origin in children. According to the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) staging criteria and the International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) ,NB preoperative staging is divided into L1, L2, M and Ms stages, the postoperative staging is divided into 1 to 4 stages and 4s stage. Among them, 4/M stage is of the highest degree of malignancy and the worst prognosis. Despite the aggressive combination therapy, the 5-year survival rate (OS) is still less than 15%, and the 2-year relapse rate is 80%. Currently, no effective treatment is accessible for refractory/relapsed stage 4/M NB after completing conventional therapy.
In hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) , conditioning regimen with high-dose radiotherapy and chemotherapy is implemented to eradicate tumor cells and abnormal clonal cells in the patient, block the pathogenesis, and restore the patient's hematopoietic and immune systems by transplanting normal hematopoietic stem cells. According to the source of hematopoietic stem cells, HSCT can be divided into two types: autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). It has been confirmed that benefiting from the graft versus tumor(GVT) effect, allo-HSCT can clear residual lesions in refractory/relapsed NB patients post-auto-HSCT,and prolong the survival time of patients. Our center has explored the conditioning regimen, treatment of residual tumor lesions before transplantation, and strategies to reduce transplantation-related death (TRM) and enhance the GVT effect. However, the sample size is small, and multicenter and larger sample size research are needed. This study will further observe the clinical efficacy and safety of allo-HSCT in the treatment of 4/M stage NB, and provide a new treatment method and option for 4/M stage NB.
Read the detailed description
Purposes: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of allo-HSCT in children with stage 4/M high-risk NB through a multi-center prospective single-arm clinical research grouped according to different types of donors, graft sources, and stratified conditioning regimen.
Primary objectives: To evaluate the efficacy (3-year OS, EFS) of allo-HSCT in the treatment of children with stage 4/M NB through a multicenter prospective single-arm clinical study.
Secondary objectives:
- To evaluate the safety of allo-HSCT in the treatment of children with stage 4/M NB [toxicity of conditioning regimen, engraftment rate, early transplantation-related mortality (<100d TRM), transplantation-related complications (VOD, thrombotic microangiopathy(TMA), acute/chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)/cytomegalovirus(CMV) viremia and EBV/CMV related diseases or other pathogenic infections, etc.];
- Improvement and optimization of allo-HSCT conditioning regimen. Outline: This is a multicenter study. Conditioning regimen: There are 3 protocols according to different sources of donor: (1) Cord blood HSCT: Flu+Bu+cyclophosphamide (CTX)+Topotecan (without ATG); (2) Peripheral blood HSCT or haploid bone marrow combined with peripheral stem cell transplantation: Flu+Bu+Melphalan+Antithymocyte globulin (ATG)+ Thiotepa (TT) or (3) Flu+Bu+Melphalan+ATG (applicable to peripheral stem cells or haploid bone marrow combined with peripheral stem cell transplantation for which TT cannot be used).
Transplantation: Patients undergo cord blood stem cell or bone marrow or granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized peripheral blood stem cell transplantation on day 0.
GVHD prophylaxis: Cyclosporine or tacrolimus combined with methotrexate is used for related matched transplantation, cyclosporine combined with mycophenolate mofetil for umbilical cord blood transplantation, and cyclosporine combined with mycophenolate mofetil and methotrexate for haploidentical transplantation to prevent GVHD.
After completion of transplantation, patients are followed periodically at least 3 years.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor of embryonal origin in children. According to the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) staging criteria and the International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) ,NB preoperative staging is divided into L1, L2, M and Ms stages, the postoperative staging is divided into 1 to 4 stages and 4s stage. Among them, 4/M stage is of the highest degree of malignancy and the worst prognosis. Despite the aggressive combination therapy, the 5-year survival rate (OS) is still less than 15%, and the 2-year relapse rate is 80%. Currently, no effective treatment is accessible for refractory/relapsed stage 4/M NB after completing conventional therapy.
In hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) , conditioning regimen with high-dose radiotherapy and chemotherapy is implemented to eradicate tumor cells and abnormal clonal cells in the patient, block the pathogenesis, and restore the patient's hematopoietic and immune systems by transplanting normal hematopoietic stem cells. According to the source of hematopoietic stem cells, HSCT can be divided into two types: autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). It has been confirmed that benefiting from the graft versus tumor(GVT) effect, allo-HSCT can clear residual lesions in refractory/relapsed NB patients post-auto-HSCT,and prolong the survival time of patients. Our center has explored the conditioning regimen, treatment of residual tumor lesions before transplantation, and strategies to reduce transplantation-related death (TRM) and enhance the GVT effect. However, the sample size is small, and multicenter and larger sample size research are needed. This study will further observe the clinical efficacy and safety of allo-HSCT in the treatment of 4/M stage NB, and provide a new treatment method and option for 4/M stage NB.
Detailed description
Purposes: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of allo-HSCT in children with stage 4/M high-risk NB through a multi-center prospective single-arm clinical research grouped according to different types of donors, graft sources, and stratified conditioning regimen.
Primary objectives: To evaluate the efficacy (3-year OS, EFS) of allo-HSCT in the treatment of children with stage 4/M NB through a multicenter prospective single-arm clinical study.
Secondary objectives:
- To evaluate the safety of allo-HSCT in the treatment of children with stage 4/M NB [toxicity of conditioning regimen, engraftment rate, early transplantation-related mortality (<100d TRM), transplantation-related complications (VOD, thrombotic microangiopathy(TMA), acute/chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)/cytomegalovirus(CMV) viremia and EBV/CMV related diseases or other pathogenic infections, etc.];
- Improvement and optimization of allo-HSCT conditioning regimen. Outline: This is a multicenter study. Conditioning regimen: There are 3 protocols according to different sources of donor: (1) Cord blood HSCT: Flu+Bu+cyclophosphamide (CTX)+Topotecan (without ATG); (2) Peripheral blood HSCT or haploid bone marrow combined with peripheral stem cell transplantation: Flu+Bu+Melphalan+Antithymocyte globulin (ATG)+ Thiotepa (TT) or (3) Flu+Bu+Melphalan+ATG (applicable to peripheral stem cells or haploid bone marrow combined with peripheral stem cell transplantation for which TT cannot be used).
Transplantation: Patients undergo cord blood stem cell or bone marrow or granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized peripheral blood stem cell transplantation on day 0.
GVHD prophylaxis: Cyclosporine or tacrolimus combined with methotrexate is used for related matched transplantation, cyclosporine combined with mycophenolate mofetil for umbilical cord blood transplantation, and cyclosporine combined with mycophenolate mofetil and methotrexate for haploidentical transplantation to prevent GVHD.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Anti Thymocyte Globulin, Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide injection in people with Neuroblastoma, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2022. 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 China. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Ke Huang, MD (+8602034070821, hke@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
overall survival(OS) at 3 year (time frame: 3 years post-HSCT). 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 NCT05303727, which also lists 29 linked publications.
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 Jul 2022.
