  • Clinical Trial Information

    Trial Contact: Doyle, Katherine M; Armatti, Julie M; Parker, Melanie; Frankos, Marie

  • IRB No: 23.113.06

    Protocol Abbrev: BCC018

    Principal Investigator: Jaime A. Carvajal, MD

    Phase: Drug: Phase II

    Age Group: Pediatric

    Secondary Protocol No: BCC018

    Treatment: Drug: Naxitamab Drug: Ceritinib

    Therapies Involved: Chemotherapy

    ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05489887

  • Objective

    This is a prospective, multicenter clinical trial in subjects with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma to evaluate the efficacy and safety of administering naxitamab with standard induction therapy. The initial chemotherapy will include 5 cycles of multi-agent chemotherapy. Naxitamab will be added to all 5 Induction cycles. Subjects with an ALK mutation or amplification will have ceritinib added to their treatment regimen as soon as results are available. We hypothesize that the addition of anti-GD2 therapy to induction chemotherapy will result in improved end of induction responses and improved survival.

  • Key Eligibility

    Diagnosis: Subjects must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma (nodular or intermixed) verified by histology or demonstration of clumps of tumor cells in bone marrow with elevated urinary catecholamine metabolites; Subjects must be age ≤ 21 years at initial diagnosis; Subjects must be >12 months of age at enrollment
