PHASE3RECRUITING

Simpliy with AI

Study details:

This is an international multicenter, open-label, randomized phase III trial including three sequential randomizations to assess efficacy of induction and consolidation chemotherapies and radiotherapy for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. The first randomization (R-I) will compare the efficacy of two induction chemotherapies (RAPID COJEC and GPOH regimens) in a phase III setting. The primary endpoint will be the 3-year EFS from date of randomization .

The R-I randomization will be stratified on age, stage, MYCN status and countries. The second randomization (R-HDC) will compare the efficacy of single HDC with Bu-Mel versus tandem HDC with Thiotepa followed by Bu-Mel. The primary endpoint is 3-year EFS calculated from the date of the R-HDC randomization.

The R-HDC randomization will be stratified on the age, stage, MYCN status, induction chemotherapy regimen, response to induction phase and countries. The impact of local treatment in this phase III setting will be assessed, according to the presence or not of a macroscopic residual disease after surgery and HDC. In case of macroscopic residual disease, 21.

6 Gy radiotherapy to the preoperative tumor bed will be randomized (R-RTx) versus the same treatment plus a sequential boost of additional 14. 4 Gy to the residual tumor. The primary endpoint of R-RTx is 3-year EFS from the date of the R-RTx randomization.

The R-RTx randomization will be stratified on age, stage, MYCN status, induction chemotherapy regimen, HDC regimen and countries. In case of no macroscopic residual disease, 21. 6 Gy radiotherapy will be delivered to the preoperative tumor bed.

How is the study designed?

Participant Group/Arm	Intervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: phase induction-R-I R-I: induction regimens RAPID COJEC vs GPOH Assuming a baseline 3-year EFS of 40%, with a sample size of 686 patients (343 in each arm) and a two-sided alpha=5% this trial will have 90% power to demonstrate an improvement of 12% in 3-year EFS, within a recruitment period of 3 years and a minimum follow up of 1.5 years. Patients with insufficient metastatic response at the end of induction chemotherapy, defined as SIOPEN score \> 3 or less than 50% reduction in mIBG score (or \> 3 bone lesions or less 50% reduction in number of FDG-PET-avid bone lesions for mIBG-non avid tumours), have a poorer prognosis. Chemoimmunotherapy arm Metastatic response rate after 4 courses of irinotecan-temozolomide (TEMIRI) combined with dinutuximab beta (DB) in patients with insufficient metastatic response at the end of induction chemotherapy (TEMIRI/DB).	DRUG: Vincristine 1.5 mg/m2 (max dose 2 mg)
EXPERIMENTAL: Phase high dose chemotherapy consolidation R-HDC: consolidation regimen Bu-Mel vs Thiotepa + Bu-Mel The 3-year EFS in the Bu-Mel arm (with immunotherapy) is estimated to be 55%. This study aims to show an improvement of 12% for the Thiotepa + Bu-Mel arm (3-year EFS of 67%). With a recruitment of 448 patients (224 in each arm) over a period of 3 years and a minimum follow-up of 2 years, the power to show a 12% difference is 80% (two-sided logrank test and α=5%).
