A Study of a Vaccine in Combination With β-glucan and GM-CSF in People With Neuroblastoma

Официальное название

Phase II Trial of a Bivalent Vaccine With the Immunological Adjuvant OPT-821 (QS-21), in Combination With Oral β-glucan and Randomization of GM-CSF, for High-risk Neuroblastoma

Обзор

The purpose of the study is to explore the combination of a bivalent vaccine, a sugar called beta-glucan (β-glucan), and a protein called granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an effective treatment for people with high-risk neuroblastoma that is in complete remission. The combination may be effective because the different parts of the treatment work to strengthen the immune system's response against cancer cells in different ways.

Вмешательства

• Пищевая добавка β-glucan
  Group 1 participants receive oral β-glucan (40 mg/kg/day) starting week 1 and continue with \~2 weeks on, \~2 weeks off, up to 1 cycle after vaccination #7, then 1 cycle with each subsequent vaccination (#8-#14). This schedule includes annual booster vaccinations, with a 2-week cycle of β-glucan, administered at months 36 (3 years), 48 (4 years), and 60 (5 years). Group 2 participants receive oral β-glucan (40 mg/kg/day) starting week 1 and continue with \~2 weeks on, \~2 weeks off, up to 1 cyc
• Препарат GM-CSF
  Group 1 participants will not receive GM-CSF. Group 2 participants will receive GM-CSF (250 mcg/m2/day) x3 days with vaccinations #1-#3; x7 days with vaccinations #4-#11; and x5 days with vaccinations #12-#14. Group 3 participants will be treated as in Group 1.
• Биопрепарат OPT-821
  Vaccine injections must occur a minimum of 6 days apart. After the first four vaccine injections, vaccines can be administered up to two weeks earlier or later than indicated without representing a protocol violation.
