About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Recurrent Medulloblastoma
Eligibility Criteria
INCLUSION CRITERIA: Stratum 1
- Patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of medulloblastoma that is recurrent, progressive, or refractory to standard therapy. All tumors must have histologic verification at either time of initial diagnosis or recurrence. Note: For this study, refractory disease is specifically defined as presence of persistent abnormality on conventional MRI that is further distinguished by histology (tissue sample) or advanced imaging, i.e., diffusion weighted sequences or MR spectroscopy.
- Patients must have disease, defined as tumor measurable in two perpendicular diameters on MRI, OR diffuse leptomeningeal disease, OR clear MRI evidence of disease that may not be measurable in two perpendicular diameters. Patients may have tumor cells in CSF with or without radiographic evidence of disease at time of enrollment.
- Patients must be < 22 years of age at time of enrollment.
- Protocol treatment with radioimmunotherapy (131I-omburtamab) will require the presence of an appropriate intraventricular access device (e.g., programmable ventriculoperitoneal [VP] shunt or Ommaya reservoir). Patients are not required to have an existing programmable VP shunt or Ommaya at time of study enrollment but must be willing and able to undergo a surgical procedure to have one placed prior to Radioimmunotherapy. Note: Patients with an existing intraventricular VP shunt without a programmable component must be willing and able to undergo modification of the shunt before treatment with 131I-omburtamab.
- Patients must have recurrent, progressive, or refractory medulloblastoma after prior craniospinal irradiation (CSI) therapy with or without prior chemotherapy, unless CSI is contraindicated or determined to be not in the best interest of patient due to underlying medical conditions or declined by patient/family. Patients must have experienced no more than two recurrences of medulloblastoma or have refractory disease. Note: Patients with contraindications to radiation therapy are still eligible.
- Patients must have received their last dose of known myelosuppressive anticancer therapy at least 21 days prior to enrollment or at least 42 days if prior nitrosourea.
- Biologic or investigational agent (anti-neoplastic) - Patient must have recovered from any acute toxicity potentially related to the agent and received their last dose of the investigational or biologic agent ≥ 7 days prior to study enrollment. For agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur.
- Monoclonal antibody treatment and agents with known prolonged half-lives - Patient must have recovered from any acute toxicity potentially related to the agent and received last dose of the agent ≥ 21 days prior to study enrollment.
Radiation - Patients must have had their last fraction of:
- Craniospinal irradiation, whole brain radiation, total body irradiation, or radiation to >= 50% of pelvis or spine 24 weeks prior to study enrollment. Tumor designated as "measurable" for protocol purposes must not have received radiation within 12 weeks prior to study enrollment.
- Focal radiation to areas of symptomatic metastatic disease at least 14 days prior to study enrollment.
- Stem Cell Transplant (SCT) - For autologous SCT >= 3 months must have elapsed prior to study enrollment.
- Patients with neurological deficits should have deficits stable for a minimum of 1 week prior to enrollment. A baseline detailed neurological exam should clearly document neurological status of the patient at time of study enrollment. Patients with seizure disorders may be enrolled if seizures are controlled and on non-enzyme inducing anticonvulsants. Patients must not be taking enzyme-inducing antiepileptic medicines within 1 week prior to study enrollment.
- Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS for > 16 years of age) or Lansky Performance Score (LPS for ≤ 16 years of age) assessed within 2 weeks prior to study enrollment must be ≥ 50%. Patients who are unable to walk because of neurologic deficits, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Experimental
Recurrent Medulloblastoma
Recurrent Ependymoma
This arm aims to estimate event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) following therapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, bevacizumab, and compartmental (intraOmmaya) radioimmunotherapy (cRIT) 131I-omburtamab in patients with recurrent medulloblastoma. Patients with recurrent medulloblastoma will undergo surgery if feasible prior to study entry, followed by Induction Chemotherapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab on study as per the Children's Oncology Group (COG) trial ACNS0821. Following 2 or 4 courses of chemotherapy and if radiographic disease status is stable or improved, patients will receive 2 therapeutic doses of 50 mCi cRIT 131I-omburtamab during Radioimmunotherapy. Following Radioimmunotherapy, patients may resume to Maintenance Chemotherapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab for up to 12 total courses of chemotherapy or until disease progression, whichever occurs sooner.
This is a feasibility cohort. The primary objective is to assess feasibility of incorporating cRIT 131I-omburtamab for patients with recurrent ependymoma and to assess dosimetry. Patients must have progressed after initial surgery, radiation therapy, or other therapies. Patients will undergo surgery (if feasible) prior to study entry with the goal of achieving stable or better disease. Tumor tissue (archived or new) will be tested for B7H3 prior to enrollment. If positive, patients will enroll on Stratum 2 and receive one dosimetry dose (2 mCi) of cRIT 131I-omburtamab with nuclear medicine scintigraphy using SPECT during the Dosimetry Course (14 days in length). Following the Dosimetry Course and within 2 weeks of the dosimetry dose, patients may continue to Radioimmunotherapy to receive 2 therapeutic doses (50 mCi) of cRIT 131I-omburtamab.
