A Study of a Vaccine in Combination With β-glucan and GM-CSF in People With Neuroblastoma

Más betegség

• Patients w ith significant (grade >4) hematologic, cardiac, neurological, pulmonary, renal, hepatic or gastrointestinal function as determined by blood tests or physical exam, using the Common Toxicity Criteria (Version 5.0) developed by the National Cancer Institute of the USA (CTCAE v5.0)
• History of allergy to KLH, QS-21, OPT-821, or glucan.
• Active life-threatening infection requiring systemic therapy.
• Patients with history of allergy to GM-CSF or who are unable to obtain GM-CSF because of insurance issues are ineligible

Egyéb

• Inability to comply with protocol requirements.

• Diagnosis of NB as defined by international criteria, i.e., histopathology (confirmed by the MSK Department of Pathology) or BM metastases plus high urine catecholamine levels or positivity in MIBG scan
• HR-NB as defined by risk-related treatment guidelines and international criteria,i.e., metastatic/non-localized disease with MYCN amplification (any age), MYCN-non-amplified metastatic disease >18 months old, MYCNamplified localized disease (any age), or disease resistant to standard chemotherapy.
• HR-NB (as defined above) and in 1) first CR at ≥ 6 months from initiation of immunotherapy using anti-GD2 antibody, or 2) second or subsequent CR (achieved after treatment for PD). CR is defined according to the International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria.Patients with positive MIBG scan but negative FDG-PET scan, and CR in BM, are eligible. For those patients with a positive MIBG scan, the negative FDG-PET scan can be per PI discretion to repeat within the 45 day window period prior to enrollment. If there is a positive site of disease that is poorly visualized on a scan, it can be per PI discretion to repeat the scan or proceed with enrollment without a scan.
• Patients with grade 3 toxicities or less using the Common Toxicity Criteria (Version 5.0) developed by the National Cancer Institute of the USA (CTCAE v5.0) related to hematologic, cardiac, neurological, pulmonary, renal, hepatic or gastrointestinal function as determined by blood tests or physical exam.

  • Prior treatment with other immunotherapy, including mAbs or vaccine, is allowed but must be completed ≥ 21 days before the 1st vaccination.
  • Note: Prior treatment with an investigational therapy must be completed ≥ 28 days before the 1st vaccination.
• ≥ 21 and ≤ 180 days between completion of systemic therapy and 1st vaccination.
• Patients have recovered from any toxicities grade 3 or higher caused by prior therapies.
• Patients previously enrolled on this trial are eligible for repeat enrollment if they did not complete all vaccine injections during the first time on protocol but they will be assigned to Group 3 and will not be included in the primary biostatistical analyses.
• A negative pregnancy test is required for patients w ith child-bearing capability.
• Signed informed consent indicating awareness of the investigational nature of this program.
