• Planned immunisation with live vaccine

Más betegség

• Known hypersensitivity to: Any study drug or component of the formulation, Chinese hamster ovary products or other recombinant human or humanised antibodies, Dacarbazine

• Any uncontrolled medical condition that poses an additional risk to the patient

Egyéb

• Any ongoing arterial thrombo-embolic events
• Invasion of major blood vessels
• Use of enzyme inducing anticonvulsants within 72 hours of randomisation
• Intolerance to galactose and fructose, lactase deficiency, and/or defect of absorption of galactose and fructose
• Pregnant or lactating patient
• Low probability of treatment compliance

• Histologically proven neuroblastoma as per International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) definition
• Relapsed: any relapsed or progressed high-risk neuroblastoma
• Refractory high risk disease: Lack of adequate response to frontline therapy that precludes the patient from proceeding to consolidation therapies
• Measurable disease by cross sectional imaging (RECIST) or evaluable disease
• Age ≥1 to ≤21 years
• Informed consent from patient, parent or guardian
• Performance Status:Lansky ≥ 50%, Karnofsky ≥ 50% or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group ≤3 (Patients who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are able to sit upright unassisted in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing performance score)
• Life expectancy of ≥12 weeks
• No bone marrow disease: Platelets ≥75 x 10\^9/L (unsupported for 72 hours), absolute neutrophil count ≥0.75 x10\^9/L (no G-cerebrospinal fluid support for 72 hours), Haemoglobin ≥8 g/dL (transfusions allowed) Bone marrow disease: Platelets ≥50 x10\^9/L (unsupported for 72 hours), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥0.5 x 10\^9/L (no granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for 72 hours), Haemoglobin ≥8 g/dL (transfusions allowed)
• Renal function (within 72 hours of eligibility assessment): Absence of clinically significant proteinuria (early morning urine dipstick \<2+). When the dipstick urinalysis shows a proteinuria ≥2+, a protein:creatinine (Pr/Cr) ratio must be \<0.5 or a 24 hour protein excretion must be \<0.5g
• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 upper limit of normal for age, if higher, a calculated glomerular filtration rate (radioisotope) must be ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2
• Liver function (within 72 hours of eligibility assessment): aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 ULN and Total bilirubin ≤1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN). In case of liver metastases, AST or ALT ≤5 ULN and Total bilirubin ≤2.5 ULN
• Cardiac function, shortening fraction ≥29% on echocardiogram
• Coagulation, patients not on anticoagulation must have an international normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.5 and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤1.5 ULN for age. Anti-coagulation is permitted as long as the INR or APTT is within therapeutic limits (according to the medical standard of the institution) and the patient has been on a stable dose of anticoagulants for at least two weeks at the time of study enrolment
• Blood pressure below 95th centile for age and sex. Use of antihypertensive medication is permitted
• Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they agree to use an effective contraceptive method, for the duration of study therapy and for up to 6 months after the last dose of trial drugs. A negative urine pregnancy test must be obtained within 72 hours prior to dosing in females who are post-menarche
• No dyspnoea at rest and pulse oximetry \> 94% in room air
• Availability and willingness to place a double central venous access if needed for trial treatment and supportive care in case of treatment with chemo-immunotherapy
