Study Summary

This trial is testing a new therapy for neuroblastoma, which is a cancer that primarily affects children. The therapy is a combination of two drugs, and the goal of the trial is to determine the best dose of the two drugs to give to patients. If the therapy is well tolerated, a third drug will be added to the trial.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of cancer. They must have evidence of MIBG uptake in tumors or increased urinary catecholamines and meet specific criteria regarding their disease state (recurrent/progressive, refractory, persistent). Participants need to be recovered from prior treatments and have adequate organ function. Pregnant individuals or those unable to follow the study plan are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a combination therapy using 131I-MIBG with dinutuximab for children with neuroblastoma that's resistant or has come back after treatment. If safe, vorinostat will be added at a certain dose level. The study uses a 'rolling 6' design to find the best dose for phase 2 trials and includes additional patient groups to confirm findings.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation by dinutuximab such as pain, fever, allergic responses; thyroid issues due to potassium iodide; blood cell changes from sargramostim; and fatigue or digestive problems from vorinostat.

"United Therapeutics is coordinating this trial from locations such as Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center - Seattle in Seattle, Washington and University of Chicago, Comer Children's Hospital in Chicago. To initiate the study, 50 participants who meet the qualifications for inclusion must be recruited."

Answered by AI

Does this clinical trial encompass individuals aged 65 or older?

"Data from this clinical trial shows that only those between 1 and 30 years old can enroll. There are 185 studies for younger patients, while elder people have 68 trials to choose from."

Answered by AI

Does this examination accept participants at present?

"Affirmative. Per the information found on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical study is currently recruiting participants for enrollment with 50 volunteers needed from 11 different hospitals in order to complete the trial which was initially launched on September 12th 2018 and lastly updated on May 5th 2022."

Answered by AI

What potential hazards are associated with 131I-MIBG treatment?

"Due to the limited clinical evidence available, our team assigned 131I-MIBG a score of 1 on our safety scale. This reflects its Phase 1 status and lack of data exhibiting efficacy or safety."

Answered by AI

What primary goals is the research team hoping to accomplish with this clinical trial?

"The primary aim of this project, which will span a period of 24 months, is to evaluate and report on the adverse effects associated with 131I-MIBG in conjunction with dinutuximab. Secondary outcomes include evaluating bone response through MIBG scans for avid tumors and FDG-PET scans for non-avid tumours via Curie scoring, assessing soft tissue response using RECIST criteria alongside MIBG/FDG PET avidity/biopsy results, as well as determining the proportion of patients who experienced complete remission (CR), CR minus minimal disease (CR-MD) or partial remission (PR)."

Answered by AI

To whom is enrollment in this clinical trial available?

"This medical study is seeking 50 participants with a diagnosis of neuroblastoma and being between 1 Year to 30 Years."

Answered by AI

To what ailments is 131I-MIBG therapeutically employed?

"131I-MIBG is an effective therapeutic course for treating lymphoma, t-cell variants of the disease, high risk neuroblastomas, and progressive cutaneous t-cell lymphoma."
