About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Neuroblastoma focused on measuring Children, Cancer, High-risk neuroblastoma

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - 21 Years (Child, Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must have a histological diagnosis of neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma and be either newly diagnosed with high risk disease or have failed previous treatment: Patients who have failed previous treatment may have had no more than one earlier autologous HPC transplant.
  • Participant is expected to undergo autologous HPC transplantation that is consistent with standard of care.
  • Must have the presence of residual resectable disease for which surgery is clinically indicated, and will be performed at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Not an eligible candidate for collection by apheresis or HPC transplant.
  • History of autoimmune disorder or immune deficiency disorder.

    Arms of the Study

    Arm 1

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Arm Label

    Combined Cell Therapy

    Arm Description

    Hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplant (HPCT) with autologous tumor cell lysate and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccine.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Occurrence of Sufficient Tumor Cell Lysate and Dendritic Cells
    The feasibility of manufacturing both a hematopoietic progenitor cell graft and multiple tumor lysate pulsed dendritic cell vaccine treatments from the same starting apheresis product, culminating in delivery of the vaccines in the immediate period following myeloablative therapy and autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant period (autoHPCT). For what fraction of eligible patients can sufficient tumor cell lysate and dendritic cells, necessary for the production of the dendritic cell vaccines, be obtained? From what fraction would it be possible to make additional vaccines?

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Occurrence of Dendritic Cell Related Adverse Events
    Toxicities resulting from the administration of dendritic cell vaccines in the immediate post hematopoietic cell graft period.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    This study adds an experimental treatment with another type of cells, called dendritic cells. It is hoped that these cells may stimulate the immune system to react against neuroblastoma in much the same way that vaccines cause the immune system to react to certain viruses and bacteria. The physicians conducting this study have observed from previous research that neuroblastoma cells can be recognized by the immune system, and that they can be destroyed by immune cells.The main goal of this study is to see if giving participants this additional anti-Neuroblastoma vaccine reduces the risk of relapse following the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant.
    Detailed Description
    All patients who are enrolled in this study will receive all treatment at All Children's Hospital which is located at 501 6th Ave South, St. Petersburg, FL 33701. This includes autologous cell donation by apheresis, high dose cytotoxic therapy conditioning for autologous HPC transplant, post-transplant follow-up care, and all administration of dendritic cell vaccines and blood draws for post therapy immunological monitoring. All preparation of cellular products, including hematopoietic progenitor cell products for autologous transplantation, and dendritic cell vaccine products, will be carried out in the Cell Therapy Facility located within the Moffitt Cancer Center, which is located at 12902 Magnolia Drive, Tampa, FL 33612.

    8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

    Arm Title
    Combined Cell Therapy
    Arm Type
    Experimental
    Arm Description
    Hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplant (HPCT) with autologous tumor cell lysate and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccine.
    Intervention Type
    Procedure
    Intervention Name(s)
    Autologous Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplant
    Other Intervention Name(s)
    stem cell transplant
    Intervention Description
    Autologous Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell (HPC) Transplant (HPCT). Blood stem cells will be collected by apheresis during the induction phase as part of standard treatment. During apheresis, the participant's blood is collected into a machine that filters out the stem cells and the filtered blood is returned to their body. The stem cells will be separated by the type of protein within the cells. Only the stem cells with a protein called CD34 will be used for the stem cell transplant.
    Intervention Type
    Biological
    Intervention Name(s)
    KLH and Tumor Lysate Pulsed DC Vaccine
    Other Intervention Name(s)
    Dendritic Cell (DC) Vaccine
    Intervention Description
    Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccine. Post-transplant vaccine days: +14, +28, +56 (± 10 days), +84 (± 10 days). Vaccines will be administered by intradermal injection of 0.5 mL at two nodal basins.
    Primary Outcome Measure Information:
    Title

    Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
    Title
    Rate of Anti-tumor Effect
    Description
