Recurrent Ganglioneuroblastoma Clinical Trial in Oakland, CA

About This Recurrent Ganglioneuroblastoma Study in Oakland

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of iberdomide when given together with chemoimmunotherapy drugs and to see how well it works in treating patients with neuroblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed), that does not respond to treatment (refractory), or that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) following prior chemoimmunotherapy. Iberdomide is a cereblon-modulating agent. It works by helping the immune system kill tumor cells. Chemoimmunotherapy is chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide and topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with dinutuximab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factors (GM-CSF), such as sargramostim, may increase the production of blood cells and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving iberdomide with chemoimmunotherapy may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed, refractory, or progressive neuroblastoma following prior chemoimmunotherapy.

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must be ≥ 1 year of age and ≤ 30 years of age at the time of study enrollment

Patients must have had histologic verification of neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma or demonstration of neuroblastoma cells in the bone marrow with elevated urinary catecholamines (i.e. \> 2 x upper limit of normal \[ULN\]), at the time of initial diagnosis

Progressive/relapsed or refractory (defined as persistent disease with overall response no better than minor response \[MR\] to prior therapy per revised International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria \[INRC\]) neuroblastoma based on the revised INRC

Patients must meet ONE of the following criteria:

Primary refractory disease

Primary refractory disease following chemoimmunotherapy as part of induction therapy (e.g., ANBL17P1, ANBL2131 Arm B). Patients with primary refractory disease must have received at least 4 cycles of frontline high-risk induction chemoimmunotherapy

Primary refractory disease following aggressive multi-drug induction chemotherapy on or according to a high-risk NB protocol (e.g., A3973, ANBL0532, ANBL09P1, ANBL12P1, ANBL1531, or ANBL2131 Arm A) with persistent disease at the conclusion of at least 4 cycles of chemoimmunotherapy used as extended induction or pre-consolidation intensification of therapy for primary refractory disease (e.g., ANBL2131 Arm A with extended induction, ANBL1221, or ANBL1821)

NOTE: Patients who experienced disease progression either during or within 30 days of completion (last day of anti-GD2 antibody) of chemoimmunotherapy during induction or extended induction are not eligible for the study

Relapsed/progressive disease

First episode of recurrence following chemoimmunotherapy as part of induction therapy (e.g., ANBL17P1, ANBL2131 Arm B) or extended induction (e.g., ANBL2131 Arm A)

First episode of recurrent/progressive disease detected during or following chemoimmunotherapy used as part of post-consolidation therapy (e.g., ANBL19P1)

Second episode of recurrent/progressive disease detected during or following chemoimmunotherapy used as first-line salvage therapy for recurrent or progressive disease (e.g., ANBL1221, ANBL1821). Patients with stable disease after receiving chemoimmunotherapy for first relapse are not eligible (must be primary refractory disease)

Evaluable or measurable disease per the revised INRC

Measurable soft tissue disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 that is metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) avid or demonstrates increased FDG uptake on PET scan

Evaluable disease is defined as either:

MIBG-avid lesions only (detected on MIBG scan with positive uptake at minimum of one site that do not meet criteria for measurable disease. This site(s) must represent disease recurrence after completion of therapy, progressive disease on therapy, or refractory disease during induction). OR

New bone site that is avid for FDG-PET (MIBG non-avid tumors) AND has CT/MRI findings consistent with tumor OR has been confirmed by biopsy

Patients with resistant/refractory soft tissue disease that is not MIBG avid or does not demonstrate increased FDG uptake on PET scan must undergo biopsy to document the presence of viable neuroblastoma to be considered a site of disease. Biopsy is not required for patients who have a new site of soft tissue disease or radiographic evidence of disease progression regardless of whether progression occurs while receiving therapy or after completion of therapy

NOTE: Patients with bone marrow only disease are not eligible. Patients with only elevated catecholamines (i.e. \> 2 x ULN) are also not eligible for this study

Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1 or 2. Use Karnofsky for patients \> 16 years of age and Lansky for patients ≤ 16 years of age

For the purposes of this study, "chemoimmunotherapy" is defined as a regimen utilizing any anti-GD2 antibody in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy, with doses of chemotherapy similar to those used in ANBL1221, ANBL1821, ANBL17P1, ANBL2131, and ANBL19P1

Patient must have received one and NO MORE THAN one prior chemoimmunotherapy-containing regimen

NOTE: Patients who received ANBL2131 Arm B therapy or a similar regimen including anti-GD2 antibody in combination with chemotherapy and then received an extended induction with chemoimmunotherapy (regardless of whether the chemoimmunotherapy was administered for relapse, progression, or poor end of induction response) will be considered to have received two regimens of chemoimmunotherapy. Similarly, patients who receive chemoimmunotherapy during induction or extended induction and then receive chemoimmunotherapy in post-consolidation (e.g., per ANBL19P1) will be considered to have received two regimens of chemoimmunotherapy. These patients are not eligible for this trial

Patient cannot have received more than two prior lines of therapy, including frontline therapy

Standard high-risk induction with or without extended induction followed by consolidation and post-consolidation immunotherapy with or without eflornithine (DFMO) continuation therapy will be considered one line of therapy

ANBL2131 Arm B induction without extended induction followed by consolidation and post-consolidation immunotherapy with or without DFMO continuation therapy will be considered one line of therapy

NOTE: Induction on ANBL2131 Arm B extended induction, and post-consolidation chemoimmunotherapy are each considered separate regimens for the purposes of counting the number of chemoimmunotherapy regimens. In addition, patients who received ANBL2131 Arm B therapy or a similar regimen including anti-GD2 antibody in combination with chemotherapy who received another line of relapse therapy following Arm B or similar treatment are also not eligible

In the relapse setting, one line of therapy will be considered at least one delivered cycle of chemoimmunotherapy (with no limit on the number of consecutive cycles of chemoimmunotherapy)

NOTE: A change in the chemotherapy regimen or anti-GD2 antibody will be considered an additional line of chemoimmunotherapy and these patients will not be eligible for the trial

In the refractory setting where chemoimmunotherapy was used as extended induction or pre-consolidation intensification of therapy for primary refractory disease, one line of therapy will be considered at least 4 delivered cycles of chemoimmunotherapy (with no limit on the number of consecutive cycles of chemoimmunotherapy)

NOTE: A change in the chemotherapy regimen or anti-GD2 antibody will be considered an additional line of chemoimmunotherapy and these patients will not be eligible for the trial
