Study summary

A Phase 2 study investigating the addition of cRIT 131I-omburtamab to irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab for patients with recurrent medulloblastoma. A feasibility cohort is included to assess the feasibility of incorporating cRIT 131I-omburtamab for patients with recurrent ependymoma.

Direct intraventricular delivery of radiolabeled tumor-specific antibodies may aid in both the detection and treatment of recurrent disease for these highly specific pediatric patients with recurrent tumors.

Read the detailed description

Stratum 1: This is a phase 2 single-arm open-label study that will define event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) following therapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, bevacizumab, and compartmental (intraOmmaya) radioimmunotherapy (cRIT) 131I-omburtamab in patients with recurrent medulloblastoma. Patients with recurrent medulloblastoma will undergo surgery if feasible prior to study entry, followed by Induction Chemotherapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab on study as per the Children's Oncology Group (COG) trial ACNS0821. Following 2 or 4 courses of chemotherapy and if radiographic disease status is stable or improved, patients may continue to Radioimmunotherapy to receive 2 therapeutic doses (50 mCi each) of cRIT 131I-omburtamab. Following Radioimmunotherapy, patients may resume to Maintenance Chemotherapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab for up to 12 total courses of chemotherapy or until disease progression, whichever occurs sooner. The primary comparison for this study will be the medulloblastoma cohort treated on ACNS0821 on the irinotecan + temozolomide + bevacizumab arm (N=52).

Stratum 2: This is a feasibility cohort. The primary objective is to assess feasibility of incorporating cRIT 131I-omburtamab for patients with recurrent ependymoma and to assess dosimetry. Patients must have progressed after initial surgery, radiation therapy, or other therapies. Patients will undergo surgery (if feasible) prior to study entry with the goal of achieving stable or better disease. Tumors (archived or new) will be tested for B7H3 prior to enrollment. If positive, patients will enroll on Stratum 2 and receive one dosimetry dose (2 mCi) of cRIT 131I-omburtamab with nuclear medicine scintigraphy (typically using 3 whole-body planar gamma camera imaging and at least 1 head SPECT scan or SPECT/CT) using SPECT during the Dosimetry Course (14 days in length). Following the Dosimetry Course and within 2 weeks of the dosimetry dose, patients may continue to Radioimmunotherapy to receive 2 therapeutic doses (50 mCi each) of cRIT 131I-omburtamab.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(29)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Leptomeningeal disease

Cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges, the thin layers covering the brain and spinal cord, and the fluid between them. It is not the same as brain metastases.

Criteria often treat it separately, and many studies leave it out even where treated brain metastases are allowed.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Recurrent Medulloblastoma

    This arm aims to estimate event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) following therapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, bevacizumab, and compartmental (intraOmmaya) radioimmunotherapy (cRIT) 131I-omburtamab in patients with recurrent medulloblastoma. Patients with recurrent medulloblastoma will undergo surgery if feasible prior to study entry, followed by Induction Chemotherapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab on study as per the Children's Oncology Group (COG) trial ACNS0821. Following 2 or 4 courses of chemotherapy and if radiographic disease status is stable or improved, patients will receive 2 therapeutic doses of 50 mCi cRIT 131I-omburtamab during Radioimmunotherapy. Following Radioimmunotherapy, patients may resume to Maintenance Chemotherapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab for up to 12 total courses of chemotherapy or until disease progression, whichever occurs sooner.

    Drug: Irinotecan · Drug: Temozolomide · Drug: Bevacizumab · Drug: Omburtamab I-131 · Drug: Liothyronine · Drug: SSKI · Drug: Dexamethasone · Drug: Antipyretic · Drug: Antihistamine · Drug: anti-emetics

  • Experimental
    Recurrent Ependymoma

    This is a feasibility cohort. The primary objective is to assess feasibility of incorporating cRIT 131I-omburtamab for patients with recurrent ependymoma and to assess dosimetry. Patients must have progressed after initial surgery, radiation therapy, or other therapies. Patients will undergo surgery (if feasible) prior to study entry with the goal of achieving stable or better disease. Tumor tissue (archived or new) will be tested for B7H3 prior to enrollment. If positive, patients will enroll on Stratum 2 and receive one dosimetry dose (2 mCi) of cRIT 131I-omburtamab with nuclear medicine scintigraphy using SPECT during the Dosimetry Course (14 days in length). Following the Dosimetry Course and within 2 weeks of the dosimetry dose, patients may continue to Radioimmunotherapy to receive 2 therapeutic doses (50 mCi) of cRIT 131I-omburtamab.

On the day of the 131I-omburtamab injection, administer any time before the injection.

  • DrugSSKI

    SSKI (potassium iodide) will be given as premedication for 131I-omburtamab to prevent thyroid accumulation. SSKI (potassium iodide) will be administered as 7 drops (\~0.35 mL) PO, NG, or G-tube daily starting on Day 1 of Radioimmunotherapy (for Stratum 1 patients) or Day 1 of Dosimetry (for Stratum 2 patients), with a mandated minimum of 7 days before each 131I-omburtamab injection and 14 days after each 131I-omburtamab injection. On the day of the 131I-omburtamab injection, administer any time before the injection.

    Also known as: Potassium iodide

  • Dexamethasone will be given as premedication for 131I-omburtamab to prevent possible meningeal inflammatory reaction. Starting within 24 hours prior to each 131I-omburtamab injection, dexamethasone will be administered orally at 0.5 mg (if weight \< 15 kg) or 1 mg (if weight ≥ 15 kg) twice-daily doses for a total of 6 doses to alleviate infusion-related AEs: Two doses starting 24 hours pre-131I-omburtamab injection, two doses on the day of the injection (can be given before or after), and two doses 24 hours post-131I-omburtamab injection.

  • An antipyretic (e.g., oral acetaminophen \[15 mg/kg, 650 mg maximum\] or equivalent) will be given as premedication for 131I-omburtamab within 1 to 3 hours before each 131I-omburtamab injection.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 2-year event free survival (EFS) in the Recurrent Medulloblastoma Cohort

    Using the Kaplan Meier method, estimate of event-free survival (EFS) of patients with relapsed medulloblastoma treated with the study regimen. EFS is defined as the interval of time between enrollment on the study and the minimum date of documentation of progressive disease, death due to any cause, subsequent malignancy or date of last follow-up.

    Time frame: 2 years

  2. Percentage of Patients who met feasibility criteria in the Recurrent Ependymoma Cohort

    Percentage of patients who met feasibility criteria of incorporating cRIT 131I-omburtamab treatment for patients with recurrent ependymoma. Patients who meet both of the following criteria will be counted as feasibility successes: 1) Administration of the first therapeutic dose of the antibody at the treating institution within 6 days of labeling. 2) Successful acquisition of all 3 SPECT scans during the Dosimetry Course prior to Radioimmunotherapy.

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival (OS) in in Recurrent Medulloblastoma Cohort

    Using the Kaplan Meier method, estimate of the overall survival (OS) of patients with recurrent medulloblastoma treated with the study regimen. OS is defined as the interval of time between enrollment on the study and the minimum date of death due to any cause or date of last follow-up.

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. Percentage of Recurrent Ependymoma patients with B7H3 reactivity

    All recurrent ependymoma patients must be screened for B7H3 reactivity to be eligible for treatment on this study. B7H3 reactivity in pre-treatment formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumor tissue will be assessed by IHC performed in a CLIA-certified lab. Patients whose tumors meet the reactivity criteria will be counted towards this percentage over the total number of patients who were screened.

    Time frame: 1 month

  3. Event free survival (EFS) for Recurrent Ependymoma

    Using the Kaplan Meier method, estimate of EFS of patients with recurrent ependymoma following incorporation of intraOmmaya 131I-omburtamab treatment. EFS is defined as the interval of time between enrollment on the study and the minimum date of documentation of progressive disease, death due to any cause, subsequent malignancy or date of last follow-up.

    Time frame: 5 years from enrollment completion

  4. Overall survival (OS) for Recurrent Ependymoma

    Using the Kaplan Meier method, estimate OS of patients with recurrent ependymoma following incorporation of intraOmmaya 131I-omburtamab treatment. OS is defined as the interval of time between enrollment on the study and the minimum date of death due to any cause or date of last follow-up.

    Time frame: 5 years from enrollment completion

  5. Estimate of Mean Absorbed Radiation Dose

    To assess the distribution of 131I-omburtamab, Recurrent Ependymoma patients will receive one dosimetry dose (2 mCi) of cRIT 131I-omburtamab with three serial nuclear medicine scintigraphy using SPECT during the Dosimetry Course (1 week in length) prior to receiving the therapeutic dose. Organ dosimetry will be analyzed for whole body and regions of interest (ROI) and calculated based on nuclear imaging scans by whole-body planar gamma camera scans. ROIs in each planar dataset will be defined at each time point if signal is visibly above the immediate background. The mean absorbed radiation dose in CSF and whole blood will be estimated via imaging-based estimation (CSF).

    Time frame: 1 month

  6. Number of Recurrent Medulloblastoma and Ependymoma Participants with Grade 3 or higher 131I-omburtamab - Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    Number of patients in the combined cohort (Recurrent Medulloblastoma and Ependymoma) who received at least 1 dose of 131I-omburtamab and experienced Adverse Events that were deemed at least possibly related to 131I-omburtamab will be reported by AE category as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0.

    Time frame: 1 year
