Iodine I 131 Metaiodobenzylguanidine in Treating Patients With Recurrent, Progressive, or Refractory Neuroblastoma or Malignant Pheochromocytoma or Paraganglioma

March 8, 2024 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Open Access Protocol of Targeted Radiotherapy With I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-MIBG) in Patients With Resistant Neuroblastoma or Malignant Chromaffin Cell Tumors

The purpose of this research study is to find how active and safe 131 I-MIBG is in patients with resistant neuroblastoma, malignant pheochromocytoma and malignant paraganglioma.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion criteria for NB:

  • 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.
  • Must have a history of tumor progression or recurrence or failure to achieve complete response with standard therapy.
  • Patients must have MIBG-avid NB and evaluable disease on MIBG scan at time of enrollment on protocol
  • Prior Therapy: At least 2 weeks should have elapsed since any biologic therapy. Three weeks should have elapsed since last dose of chemotherapy.
  • Age >1 year with a determination that radiation safety restrictions during therapy period can be implemented.
  • Stem cells: Patients must have an autologous hematopoietic stem cell product cryopreserved and available for re-infusion after MIBG treatment. The minimum dose for peripheral blood stem cells is 2 X106 CD34+ cells/kg.
  • Minimum life expectancy of eight weeks
  • Signed informed consent indicating awareness of the investigational nature of this program.

Inclusion criteria for malignant CCT:

  • Patients must have the diagnosis of malignant CCT i.e. malignant pheochromocytoma or malignant paraganglioma
  • Patients must have MIBG-avid malignant CCT and evaluable disease on MIBG scan at time of enrollment on protocol
  • Prior Therapy: At least 2 weeks should have elapsed since any biologic therapy. Three weeks should have elapsed since last dose of chemotherapy.
  • Age between 1 and 21 years and able to cooperate with radiation safety restrictions during therapy period
  • Stem cells: Patients must have an autologous hematopoietic stem cell product cryopreserved and available for re-infusion after MIBG treatment. The minimum dose for peripheral blood stem cells is 2 X106 CD34+ cells/kg.
  • Minimum life expectancy of eight weeks.
  • Signed informed consent indicating awareness of the investigational nature of this program.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Severe major organ toxicity. Specifically, renal, cardiac, hepatic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and neurologic toxicity should all be grade 2 or less. A grade 3 hearing deficit is acceptable.
  • Active serious infections not controlled by antibiotics.
  • Pregnant women are excluded for fear of danger to the fetus. Therefore negative pregnancy test is required for all women of child-bearing age, and appropriate contraception is used during the study period.
  • Inability or unwillingness to comply with radiation safety procedures or protocol requirements.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Radiation

Patients receive a single dose of iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (^131I-MIBG) IV over 30 minutes to 4 hours on day 0. Patients undergo radiation dosimetry following the first dose of ^131I-MIBG to determine if a second dose can be safely administered. Some patients may receive a second dose of iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (^131I-MIBG) 6-8 weeks after the first dose if response is achieved and patients do not experience major toxicity. After blood radioactivity has fallen below 1 μCi/mL, patients may undergo autologous stem cell transplantation.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4-6 weeks after ^131I-MIBG administration and then every 3 months for up to 1 year.
