5. Study Description

Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of rebeccamycin analog in treating children who have relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: Determine the response rate to rebeccamycin analogue in children with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. Identify and establish in vitro biologic correlates of clinical responses and toxicity of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: Patients receive rebeccamycin analogue IV over 1 hour once on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: This study will accrue up to 30 patients within 1.5 years.
