Neuroblastoma

Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of human anti-chimeric antibody (HACA) in high-risk neuroblastoma patients treated with Unituxin combination therapy.

Detailed description

This was a multi-center, non-randomized, open-label study in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma to assess the immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of Unituxin combination therapy. Patients enrolled in the study were prescribed Unituxin for the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma.

Interventions

Unituxin was administered along with cytokines according to the prescribing information

Outcome results

Primary

To Determine the Incidence of Human Anti-chimeric Antibody (HACA) in High-risk Neuroblastoma Patients Treated With Unituxin Combination Therapy.

Seven blood samples were collected at the following time points for the evaluation of HACA levels: * Course 1- Prior to the first Unituxin infusion * Course 2- Prior to the first Unituxin infusion * Course 3- Prior to the first Unituxin infusion * Course 4- Prior to the first Unituxin infusion * Course 5- Prior to the first Unituxin infusion * Course 6- Prior to the first dose of 13-cis-retinoic acid (RA) * Study termination (approximately 2 weeks following the final 13-cis-retinoic acid dose)

Time frame: Approximately 6 months

Population: Outcome measure data were not collected. Sponsor was required to run this Phase 4 study for EU marketing approval. However, Sponsor terminated the study 15 Dec 2016 and application withdrawn (accepted by European Commission 20 Mar 2017).

Secondary
