Filter by:Surgery plays significant role in treatment of neurogenic tumors, both for benign ganglioneuroma and for high risk neuroblastoma. The world literature has accumulated large experience in laparoscopic surgery for abdominal neuroblastoma. The presence of IDRF (image-defined risk factors) and tumor size (>4-7 cm) are considered as common contraindications for minimally invasive surgery in neuroblastoma. However, the recent studies have shown that presence of IDRF is not an absolute contraindication for laparoscopic surgery. This open-label, nonrandomized, observational, phase III evaluates role and weight of different surgical risk factors (including IDRF, tumor size, tumor localization, tumor volume/patient height ratio, previous open surgical procedures, previous chemotherapy etc.) in the laparoscopic neuroblastoma resections. The aim of this study is to create novel risk factors scoring system for laparoscopic surgery in abdominal neuroblastoma.
In this study the investigators wish to describe the cohort of pediatric patients suffering from neuroblastoma and treated with Dinutuximab and to compare the costs and quality of life between the two French centers, the University Hospital of Strasbourg (HUS) and the Oncopole of Toulouse.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the induction chemotherapy efficacy in olfactory neuroblastoma. The main question it aims to answer is: wether olfactory neuroblastoma patients with different pathology subtypes apply to different induction chemotherapy schemes. Participants will be treated with different chemotherapy schemes, to evaluate the tumor remission rate and long term survival.
Background: Cancers of the nasal cavity or skull base are rare. They often are not diagnosed until they are at an advanced stage, and they often spread to other parts of the body. These cancers may have mutations in a gene called IDH2. Researchers want to find out if a drug (enasidenib) that targets the IDH2 mutation can help people with these cancers. Objective: To test enasidenib in people with cancers of the nasal cavity or skull base. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with rare cancers of the nasal cavity or the base of the skull. Their cancer must have an IDH2 gene mutation, and it must have recurred locally or spread to other parts of the body. These cancers can include sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma; olfactory neuroblastoma; sinonasal large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma; poorly differentiated sinonasal adenocarcinoma; or chondrosarcoma. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests and tests of their heart function. They will have imaging scans of their brain, skull base, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. A sample of tumor tissue will be collected. Enasidenib is a tablet taken by mouth with a glass of water. Participants will take the drug once a day, every day, in 28-day cycles. They will not have resting periods between cycles. Participants will visit the clinic on the first day of each cycle to receive the tablets they will need to take at home until the beginning of the next cycle. They will keep a diary to record the time of each dose they take. Participants may remain in the study as long as the drug is helping them....
This phase III trial tests how well the addition of dinutuximab to Induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgical resection of the primary tumor, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy works for treating children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found on the surface of neuroblastoma cells, but is not present on many healthy or normal cells in the body. When dinutuximab binds to the neuroblastoma cells, it helps signal the immune system to kill the tumor cells. This helps the cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells, this is a type of immunotherapy. When chemotherapy and immunotherapy are given together, during the same treatment cycle, it is called chemoimmunotherapy. This clinical trial randomly assigns patients to receive either standard chemotherapy and surgery or chemoimmunotherapy (chemotherapy plus dinutuximab) and surgery during Induction therapy. Chemotherapy drugs administered during Induction include, cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, and doxorubicin. These drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing or by stopping them from spreading. Upon completion of 5 cycles of Induction therapy, a disease evaluation is completed to determine how well the treatment worked. If the tumor responds to therapy, patients receive a tandem transplantation with stem cell rescue. If the tumor has little improvement or worsens, patients receive chemoimmunotherapy on Extended Induction. During Extended Induction, dinutuximab is given with irinotecan, temozolomide. Patients with a good response to therapy move on to Consolidation therapy, when very high doses of chemotherapy are given at two separate points to kill any remaining cancer cells. Following, transplant, radiation therapy is given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of Induction. The final stage of therapy is Post-Consolidation. During Post-Consolidation, dinutuximab is given with isotretinoin, with the goal of maintaining the response achieved with the previous therapy. Adding dinutuximab to Induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgical resection of the primary tumor, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy may be better at treating children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether avutometinib is a safe treatment for advanced or recurrent solid tumor cancers in children and young adults. Researchers will look for the highest dose of avutometinib that is safe and cause few or mild side effects.
The modern strategy of therapy of high-risk neuroblastoma, stage 4, consists of three phases - induction, consolidation and post- consolidation. Still current approaches demonstrates insufficient levels of ORR (overall response rate), OS (overall survival) and EFS (event free survival). NB-HR-2023 (neuroblastoma high risk) protocol aimed to investigate tolerability and toxicity and potential improvement of ORR, OS and EFS by overcoming of tumor heterogeneous drug resistance using the synergistic interaction of cytostatic and immunobiological agents in the induction. Protocol include the combination of standard chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with anti-GD2 MAB, which is potentially expected to improve outcomes in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma, 4th stage older 18 months. Currently, treatment with combinations of cytostatics with immunobiological agents is limited due to the risk of complications, which, nevertheless, is controlled with proper monitoring and concomitant therapy. Still no data about use of combination of standard chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with ch14.18/CHO MAB (dinutuximab beta) in induction in primary patients with neuroblastoma. Prospective, interventional trial include patients with neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma, 4th stage of the high-risk group older 18 months, who will receive combination of standard induction chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with anti-GD2 MAB. Consolidation and post consolidation chemotherapy courses are not the subjects for analysis. Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma, stage 4, older 18 months who receive combination of standard induction chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with anti-GD2 MAB at the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center Of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology Delayed surgery (if needed) will be done after the 4th or 6th course of induction therapy and stem cells apheresis after the 2nd-5th course of induction therapy.
The purpose of this study is to test which treatment schedule of β-glucan with bivalent vaccine is more effective for participants with high-risk neuroblastoma that is in complete remission.
This is an prospective study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of naxitamab monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy or combined with chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor in the treatment of pediatric high-risk and refractory/relapsed neuroblastoma in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center.
The goal of the Molecular Characterization Trial (MCT) is to obtain biological specimens and data resources from patients enrolled on prospective trials, to ensure that the Harvard/UCSF ROBIN Center accomplishes its key objective of advancing our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie how radiation treats tumors but also can cause unwanted side effects. The MCT focuses on collection of research biospecimens before, during, and after radiation. Also critical to the MCT is the deep annotation of these research biospecimens with elements that complement each other to provide a holistic, detailed view of each patient. Annotated elements include those used in the past such as clinical and biological features but extend to factors we have so far neglected but must incorporate in the future such as dosimetry (precise anatomical measurement of radiation dose), artificial intelligence, computational biology, and natural language processing.
