Vinorelbine for Children With Progressive or Recurrent Low-grade Gliomas

Low-grade Glioma Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase 2 Study of Weekly Vinorelbine in Children With Progressive or Recurrent Low-Grade Gliomas

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether weekly Vinorelbine treatment can shrink or slow the growth of pediatric low-grade gliomas that have either returned or are continuing to grow.

Vinorelbine is a semi-synthetic vinca alkaloid that has recently generated interest in patients with pediatric low-grade glioma. It has been specifically synthesized to broaden its therapeutic spectrum and decrease the neurotoxicity associated with related agents.

Clinical Trial Description

Different treatments exist for children with progressive or recurrent low-grade glioma. Each has variable efficacy at slowing or reversing growth, and exploration continues into finding better-tolerated, more effective treatments.

Vinorelbine has recently generated interest in stabilizing some pediatric low-grade gliomas. It has been fairly well tolerated in both adult and pediatric studies that have examined its use in other tumors.

Objective: To test the efficacy of Vinorelbine in children with pediatric low-grade glioma that has returned or continues to grow.

In this trial, Vinorelbine will be given intravenously once a week for 6 weeks followed by a 2 week rest (6 of every 8 weeks) for one year. The patients will then be followed for 60 months. Progression free survival is the primary outcome and defined as the none of the following: greater a 20% increase in the sun of the longest diameter of the target lesion, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. ;
