Autologous Stem Cell Rescue With CD +133 Selected Cells in High-Risk Neuroblastoma
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, December 2008
Sponsored by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Information provided by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00539500
  Purpose

Primary Objectives:

  1. To determine the engraftment failure rate.
  2. To evaluate the device-related toxicity associated with transplantation of CD133+ cells in high risk neuroblastoma.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To evaluate the time to failure, one-year overall and disease-free survival.
  2. To evaluate the efficiency of purging of CD133+ selection by immunohistochemistry, flow and/or RT-PCR for tumor specific transcripts.
  3. To document ClinicMACS device performance as assessed by yield and purity of CD133+ in a clinical cohort.

Further study details as provided by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To learn how long it takes for certain types of transplanted stem cells to produce new blood cells. [ Time Frame: 2 Years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To learn if collecting the cells with the CliniMACS device can decrease the possibility of tumor cells contaminating (appearing in) the stem cells that are reinfused into participants. [ Time Frame: 2 Years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 20
Study Start Date: October 2007
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

  Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Newly diagnosed high-risk Neuroblastoma defined as: a. INSS 2A/2B older then 365 days with MYCN amplified, unfavorable histology, and any ploidy. b. INSS Stage 3, older than 365 days with MYCN amplification and/or unfavorable histology. c. INSS Stage 4 or 4S, less than 365 days of age, with MYCN amplification d. INSS Stage 4, over 365, regardless of MYCN amplification or histology.
  2. Pre-transplant modalities may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Radiation must not include lung fields. Only patients in CR, or PR at the primary site will be eligible.
  3. Any recurrent neuroblastoma with at least a partial response to salvage therapy.
  4. Zubrod performance status </=2.
  5. No symptomatic pulmonary disease. FEV1, FVC, and DLCO >/= 50% of expected corrected for hemoglobin. If unable to perform pulmonary function test (most children < 6 years of age), pulse oximetry >/= 92% on room air.
  6. Adequate cardiac function as demonstrated by left ventricular ejection fraction >/= 50% by echocardiogram.
  7. Adequate hepatic function as defined as SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT)< 5 X upper limits of normal.
  8. All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent.
  9. Females of childbearing potential defined as not post-menopausal for 12 months or no previous surgical sterilization must have a negative urine pregnancy test within 30 days of registering. Patients will be informed of the risk of not using adequate contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient is pregnant or breast-feeding.
  2. Active infection not controlled by antibiotics after seven days of therapy.
  3. Brain metastases.
