Clinical Analysis of Naxitamab (hu3F8) in the Treatment of Pediatric High Risk or Refractory/ Relapsed Neuroblastoma

This is an prospective study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of naxitamab monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy or combined with chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor in the treatment of pediatric high-risk and refractory/relapsed neuroblastoma in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Neuroblastoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Naxitamab monotherapy; Drug: GM-CSF; Drug: Irinotecan; Drug: Temozolomide; Drug: Naxitamab in combination therapy; Drug: GM-CSF with combination regimen; Drug: Sintilimab

Detailed Description

Patients with high risk neuroblastoma who obtain CR after chemotherapy combined with surgery, radiotherapy and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation received axitamab and GM-CSF. Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma treated by chemotherapy combined with surgery, radiotherapy and or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients with tumor residual or progression during treatment (refractory) received naxitamab and GM-CSF in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide or naxitamab and GM-CSF in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide and PD-1 antibody.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Other: naxitamab and GM-CSF only; Suitable for patients with high risk neuroblastoma who obtain CR after chemotherapy combined with surgery, radiotherapy and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The treatment cycle is repeated every 4 weeks for a total of 5 courses, and discontinuation of nasetuzumab and GM-CSF should be considered if disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.	Drug: Naxitamab monotherapy; Naxitamab is administered on days 1, 3, and 5; Other Names: hu3F8; Drug: GM-CSF; Each treatment cycle is 28 days and is started with five days (days -4 to 0) of GM-CSF administered at 250 mcg/m2/day in advance of the start of naxitamab infusion. GM-CSF is thereafter administered at 500 mcg/m2/day on days 1 to 5.; Other Names: Recombinant Human Granulocyte/Macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor
Other: naxitamab and GM-CSF in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide; Suitable for high-risk group neuroblastoma treated by chemotherapy combined with surgery, radiotherapy and or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients with tumor residual or progression during treatment (refractory); Patients who relapse after initial treatment. Repeat every 3 weeks until tumor progression, patient withdrawal, or toxicity becomes intolerable, up to 8 procedures.	Drug: Irinotecan; Each HITS treatment cycle is 21 days. Irinotecan intravenously (IV) at 50 mg/m2/day will be administered from Day 1-5 concurrently with temozolomide orally at 150 mg/m2/day or 100 mg/m2/day.; Other Names: DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor; Drug: Temozolomide; Each HITS treatment cycle is 21 days.
