5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor of the sympathetic nervous system. It is the second most common malignant tumor of childhood. Although modest advances have been made over the past 20 years children with high-risk neuroblastoma continue to have an unsatisfactory long-term survival. This study will administer induction chemotherapy followed by high-dose (myeloablative) chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation, followed by radiation therapy, then immunotherapy with a non myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant for treatment of neuroblastoma. The purpose of this clinical research trial is to study the feasibility of giving immunotherapy with a non-myeloablative allogeneic transplant (NAT/AlloSCT), following myeloablative therapy and autologous stem cell transplant (MAT/AutoSCT). This study will also determine the side effects as well as the response rate for each group of patients (treatment arm).
Detailed Description
Despite the modest advances made over the past two decades with the addition of more intensive chemotherapy and high dose myeloablative therapy with allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation, children with high-risk neuroblastoma continue to have an unsatisfactory long-term survival. The current survival for a child > 1 year of age at diagnosis with stage 4 neuroblastoma is only 20-35% 1,7. The overall treatment plan for high-risk patients with neuroblastoma will be: Induction Therapy Intensive induction chemotherapy with the cardioprotectant dexrazoxane (Zinecard), vincristine, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), and cyclophosphamide (ZVAC), alternating with cisplatin and etoposide (CiE). Patients who receive induction chemotherapy on an alternate protocol and achieve a CR, VGPR, or PR will also be eligible for entry to receive consolidation therapy and AlloSCT immunotherapy after discussion and approval of the Principal Investigators ). Consolidation Therapy with AutoSCT Consolidation therapy with a myeloablative preparative regimen of carboplatin, thiotepa, and topotecan (CaTT) followed by AutoSCT with PBSCs (CD34+ selection optional). Immunotherapy with Non-myeloablative AlloSCT Immunotherapy with a non-myeloablative preparative regimen of busulfan and fludarabine followed by AlloSCT with either: (Arm A) a related donor (5/6 or 6/6 HLA matched); or (Arm B) an umbilical cord blood donor (unrelated 4/6, 5/6, or 6/6 HLA matched, or related 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, or 6/6 HLA matched). Patients with an umbilical cord blood donor will also receive Thymoglobulin (ATG-rabbit) during the preparative regimen. GVHD prophylaxis will consist of Tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Maintenance Therapy Patients with a related donor who have persistent disease detected prior to NAT/AlloSCT will be assigned to Arm A1 and will receive two courses of DLI, followed by cis-RA for 6 cycles. Patients with a related donor with no persistent disease detected prior to NAT/AlloSCT will be assigned to Arm A2 and receive cis-RA for 6 cycles. Patients with an umbilical cord blood donor will receive cis-RA for 6 cycles. Radiation Therapy Due to the potential risk of increased GVHD following radiation therapy, local radiation therapy to the primary tumor site (21 Gy) and metastatic sites, will be given after NAT/AlloSCT for patients on Arm A2 and Arm B, and prior to cis-RA therapy. Radiation therapy will be given following DLI in Arm A1, and prior to cis-RA therapy.
