Conditions

Summary

Background: Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that causes tumors in nerves. It affects mainly infants and toddlers, and it causes about 15 percent of cancer-related deaths in children. Objective: To test a new drug (rhIL-15), combined with 3 standard cancer drugs, in people with neuroblastoma. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 35 years with neuroblastoma that did not respond or returned after standard treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart and lungs. They will have a bone marrow biopsy: A sample of tissue and fluid from inside a bone will be removed with a large needle. Participants will be treated in 21-day cycles. They may have up to 4 treatment cycles. rhIL-15 is given through a needle into a vein over 5 to 7 days during the first week of each cycle. Participants will stay in the hospital while they are receiving the rhIL-15. Starting in the second week of the second cycle, participants will receive other drugs for treating cancer. They will have no study treatments during the third week of each cycle. Participants will visit the clinic at least 2 times a week throughout all 4 treatment cycles. They will have a physical exam and blood tests during these visits. Imaging scans, bone marrow biopsy, and other tests will be repeated at the end of cycles 2 and 4. Participants will have a follow-up visit 6 months after treatment ends. This visit will include a physical exam with blood and urine tests.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a combination of three drugs — rhIL-15 (an immune booster), dinutuximab (an antibody that targets neuroblastoma cells), and irinotecan/temozolomide (chemotherapy) — for children and young adults whose neuroblastoma (a childhood cancer of the nervous system) has come back or stopped responding to earlier treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 3 and 35 years old - You have relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma confirmed by pathology - You have received at least one prior treatment beyond frontline chemotherapy - You have measurable or detectable disease on scans or bone marrow biopsies - Your heart, liver, kidneys, and blood counts are adequate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have active HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C - You have fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion) - You have uncontrolled active infection or serious health conditions that would make participation unsafe - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have had a severe allergic reaction to anti-GD2 antibodies in the past Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
