Study summary

Data from 40 patients are planned to be included in the study to randomize approximately 10 patients.

This study involves patients with advanced/metastatic GD2-positive rhabdomyosarcoma after progression on 1st line of chemotherapy, advanced/metastatic GD2-positive Ewing sarcoma after progression on 1st line of chemotherapy and advanced/metastatic GD2-positive osteosarcoma after progression on 1st line of chemotherapy.

All patients will receive therapy until disease progression (a total of 6 courses of immunotherapy).

The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of dinutuximab beta with investigator's choice of chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Data from 40 patients are planned to be included in the study to randomize approximately 10 patients.

This study involves patients with advanced/metastatic GD2-positive rhabdomyosarcoma after progression on 1st line of chemotherapy, advanced/metastatic GD2-positive Ewing sarcoma after progression on 1st line of chemotherapy and advanced/metastatic GD2-positive osteosarcoma after progression on 1st line of chemotherapy.

6 cycles of treatment with dinutuximab beta are provided in combination with 6-8 cycles of chemotherapy during the induction therapy phase. Switching from one chemotherapy regimen to another is not allowed. Dinutuximab beta should be administered as a slow intravenous infusion through a separate catheter using an infusion pump.

All patients will receive therapy until disease progression (a total of 6 courses of immunotherapy).

Treatment response will be assessed by the investigator after 2, 4 cycles of treatment and at the end of the reinduction therapy period (i.e., after 6 cycles of dinutuximab beta treatment and 6 - 8 cycles of polychemotherapy). Treatment response will be assessed by tumor response according to the criteria for response assessment in the treatment of solid tumors (RECIST 1.1).

After discontinuation of therapy, all patients will be followed up for 6 months. All patients should be followed up to assess survival unless consent is withdrawn. Long-term follow-up/survival assessment visits will be performed monthly until death, withdrawal of consent, or study termination, whichever occurs first.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Signed written form;
  2. Age under 18 years of age;
  3. confirmed GD2-positive osteogenic sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, soft tissue and undifferentiated sarcomas;
  4. Prior to study enrollment, patients must have been treated with one or more lines of adequate chemotherapy and must have on this therapy or have refractoriness to it;
  5. General satisfactory condition of the patient (Lansky scale activity 80-100% (children under 16 years of age), scale 80-100% (children over 16 years of age); - 0-1);
  6. Sufficient cardiopulmonary reserves of the patient's organism ( (ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY) data within normal limits, ventricular > 75% of the ;
  7. Adequate liver function ( (ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE) ≤ 2.5 * VGN, AST (ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE) ≤ 2.5 * VGN), kidney (creatinine \<1.5 * VGN), red bone marrow (granulocytes> 2.0 * 109/L, > 150 * 109/L).

    Six months later, two additional criteria were formulated:

  8. at the time of initiation of therapy within the framework of the study is not less than 12 months
  9. Oligometastasis disease (presence of 1 to 5 distant foci) at restaging at the time of the decision to include the patient in the study;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Withdrawal of consent by the patient or his/her parent/guardian.
  2. Exclusion of the patient by the investigator for safety or ethical reasons.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

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.

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.

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.

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.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

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.

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.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Metastases

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