City:  Milwaukee
State:  
WI
Zip Code: 53226
Conditions: Neuroblastoma
Purpose: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ABT-751, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well ABT-751 works in treating children with neuroblastoma that has relapsed or not responded to previous treatment.
Study summary: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Compare the time to disease progression in children with refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma treated with ABT-751 vs historical controls. Secondary - Determine the objective response rate in patients with measurable disease treatment with this drug. - Determine whether ABT-751 improves quality of life of these patients. - Determine the toxicity of ABT-751. - Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of ABT-751 in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, historical control study. Patients are stratified according to disease type (measurable lesions by CT scan or MRI vs evaluable disease [bone marrow or iodine I 123 metaiodobenzylguanidine-positive lesions]). Patients receive oral ABT-751 once daily on days 1-7. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 52 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Blood is collected periodically during course 1 for pharmacokinetic studies. Quality of life is assessed at baseline and prior to each course of treatment. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 88 patients will be accrued for this study.
Criteria: DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: - Histologically or cytologically confirmed neuroblastoma meeting the following criteria: - Refractory or relapsed disease - No curative treatment option and no additional therapy proven to prolong survival with an acceptable quality of life is available - Evidence of disease progression (enlargement of existing measurable tumors or the appearance of new tumors) during prior treatment OR biopsy-proven viable neuroblastoma if stable disease but refractory to prior treatment - Previously irradiated soft tissue or bony lesion must meet ≥ 1 of the following criteria: - Viable neuroblastoma determined by biopsy ≥ 6 weeks after radiation therapy - Growth in the lesion determined by CT scan or MRI - Measurable or evaluable disease - Measurable disease is defined as ≥ 20 mm in ≥ 1 dimension by MRI, CT scan, or x-ray OR ≥ 10 mm in ≥ 1 dimension by spiral CT scan - Evaluable disease is defined as iodine I 123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (^123I MIBG)-positive lesion at ≥ 1 site - Must not have measurable disease by CT scan or MRI - No elevated urinary catecholamines and/or bone marrow evidence of tumor, without measurable or evaluable disease by imaging modalities (CT scan, MRI, or ^123I MIBG) PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: - Karnofsky performance status (PS) 50-100% (> 16 years of age) OR Lansky PS 50-100% (≤ 16 years of age) - Life expectancy ≥ 8 weeks - Hemoglobin ≥ 7.5 g/dL (transfusions allowed) - Absolute neutrophil count > 250/mm³ - Platelet count > 25,000/mm³ (without platelet transfusion support for ≥ 7 days) - Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) - ALT < 5 times ULN - Creatinine normal for age and gender as follows: - No greater than 0.4 mg/dL (≤ 5 months) - No greater than 0.5 mg/dL (6 months-11 months) - No greater than 0.6 mg/dL (1 year-23 months) - No greater than 0.8 mg/dL (2 years-5 years) - No greater than 1.0 mg/dL (6 years-9 years) - No greater than 1.2 mg/dL (10 years-12 years) - No greater than 1.4 mg/dL (13 years and over [female]) - No greater than 1.5 mg/dL (13 years to 15 years [male]) - No greater than 1.7 mg/dL (16 years and over [male]) - OR creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min - Shortening fraction ≥ 27% by echocardiogram - Not pregnant or nursing - Negative pregnancy test - Fertile patients must use effective double-barrier contraception during and for 90 days after completion of study treatment - Seizure disorder allowed if controlled and receiving anticonvulsants - Neurologic toxicity from prior therapy or tumor involvement ≤ grade 2 - No evidence of active graft-vs-host disease - No allergy to sulfa-containing medications - No known HIV positivity - No clinically significant unrelated systemic illness (e.g., serious infection) that would limit study compliance PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: - See Disease Characteristics - Recovered from all prior therapy - No prior ABT-751 - More than 2 weeks since prior myelosuppressive chemotherapy - More than 7 days since prior anticancer biologic agents (e.g., retinoids) - More than 4 weeks since prior palliative radiation therapy (small port) or therapeutic ^123I MIBG - More than 6 weeks since prior substantial radiation therapy (> 50% pelvis, craniospinal, or total-body radiation) - More than 4 months since prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) (2 months for autologous SCT) and recovered - Infusion of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells without high-dose chemotherapy or preparative regimen is not considered SCT - More than 30 days since prior investigational drug therapy - More than 30 days since prior immunotherapy (monoclonal antibody therapy or vaccine therapy) - More than 1 week since prior growth factor treatment - No other concurrent anticancer agents, including chemotherapy, immunomodulating agents, or biologic therapy (retinoids) - No concurrent radiation therapy, including palliative radiation therapy - No concurrent treatment for graft-vs-host disease - No concurrent epoetin alfa, sargramostim (GM-CSF), or interleukin-11 - Concurrent filgrastim (G-CSF) allowed if medically indicated
