Brief summary

Children and adults diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma patients with primary refractory disease or incomplete response to salvage treatment in bone and/or bone marrow will be treated for up to 101 weeks with naxitamab and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Patients will be followed for up to five years after first dose. Naxitamab, also known as hu3F8 is a humanised monoclonal antibody targeting GD2

Detailed description

Each patient will receive treatment for up to 101 weeks following the first Naxitamab administration. After the end of trial visit, each patient will enter a long-term follow-up where they will be monitored for up to 5 years after first treatment cycle. Each investigational cycle is started with 5 days, days -4 to 0, of Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) administered at 250 µg/m2/day in advance of the start of Naxitamab administration. GM-CSF is thereafter administered at 500 µg/m2/day on days 1 to 5. As standard treatment, Naxitamab is administered at 3 mg/kg/day on days 1, 3, and 5, totalling 9 mg/kg per cycle. Treatment cycles are repeated every 4 weeks (±1 week) until complete response or partial response followed by 5 additional cycles every 4 weeks (±1 week). Subsequent cycles are repeated every 8 weeks (±2 weeks) through 101 weeks from first infusion at the discretion of the investigator. End of treatment will take place around 8 weeks after the last cycle and thereafter long-term follow-up will continue.

Intervention model description

Patients will receive cycles of GM-CSF and Naxitamab every 4 weeks up to a total of 101 weeks. Safety and efficacy will be investigated with short-term follow-up at minimum 4 weeks after last treatment and with long-term follow-up for up to 3 years after end of treatment visit.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Response rate during Naxitamab treatment101 weeksOverall objective response rate (ORR) during the Naxitamab treatment period that will be centrally assessed according to the International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC) modified with 123I-MIBG criteria and following the use of 18F FDG-PET for MIBG non-avid lesions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events101 weeksSafety will be evaluated by the incidence of adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAEs) graded according to CTCAE, version 4.0.
Duration of Response (DoR)101 weeksLength of time from patient response to disease progression.
Complete Response Rate101 weeksThe complete response (CR) rate is defined as the fraction of patients experiencing a CR according to International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC) criteria during the treatment period.
Assessment of the maximum serum concentration (cmax) of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hoursCalculation of maximum serum concentration of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.
Assessment of the minimum serum concentration (cmin) of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hoursCalculation of minimum serum concentration of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.
Assessment of the clearance of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hoursCalculation of clearance of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.
Assessment of the volume of distribution of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hoursCalculation of the volume of distribution of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.
Assessment of the Area under the Curve (AUC) of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hoursCalculation of the AUC of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.
Assessment of the terminal half-life (t½) of naxitamabPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hoursCalculation of the t½ of naxitamab will be calculated and summarized with descriptive statistics.
Assessment of anti-drug antibody (ADA) formationPre-naxitamab dose - 552 hoursADA formation will be investigated following a multi-tiered approach: A screening confirmation-titration analysis plus a ligand binding assay to examine a potential neutralizing effect of anti-naxitamab antibodies.
Intravenous (IV) opioid use (cycle 1)6 hoursIV opioid use during cycle 1 defined as total dosage of IV morphine (or equivalent opioid) administered 2 hours before infusion until 4 hours after end of infusion of naxitamab

Hospitalization days (cycle 1)4 weeksNumber of hospitalization days related to naxitamab during cycle 1, defined as number of overnight stays. Hospitalizations required solely for protocol-specified assessments (e.g., PK sampling) or non-medical circumstances are excluded
Safety of patients with positive human anti-drug antibody (ADA)101 weeksIn patients with positive ADA at trial inclusion, safety will be evaluated by the incidence of AEs and SAEs graded according to CTCAE, version 4.0
Number of infusions done in an outpatient setting101 weeksNumber of infusions done in an outpatient setting
Percentage of infusions done in an outpatient setting101 weeksPercentage of infusions done in an outpatient setting
Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events in ADA positive patients101 weeksSafety will be evaluated by the incidence of adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAEs) graded according to CTCAE, version 4.0 in ADA positive patients.
