Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Vincristine
Treatment: Drugs - Aldesleukin
Treatment: Drugs - ch14.18/CHO
Treatment: Drugs - Carboplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Etoposide
Treatment: Drugs - Cisplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Cyclophosphamide
Treatment: Drugs - Doxorubicin
Treatment: Drugs - G-CSF
Treatment: Drugs - Busulfan
Treatment: Drugs - Melphalan

Experimental: R0: COJEC plus G-CSF - Patients randomised to G-CSF during induction treatment (Rapid COJEC) received a single daily subcutaneous injection of 5 microgram/kg/day G-CSF (filgrastim) beginning 24 hours after the last chemotherapy dose.

Active Comparator: R0: COJEC - Induction treatment (COJEC) without filgrastim Patients randomised to Rapid COJEC alone will receive induction Treatment without G-CSF

Active Comparator: R1: BuMel MAT - The BuMel MAT regimen consists of oral administration of busulphan and the short i.v. infusion of melphalan.
In July 2007 (amendment 3) oral busulfan was changed to i.v. Busulfan (Busilvex)

Experimental: R1: CEM MAT - The CEM MAT regimen uses three drugs: the dose of Carboplatin must be based on renal function with a target area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of 16.4 mg/ml.min, etoposide 350 mg/m2/course and melphalan 210 mg/m2/course

Active Comparator: R2: ch14.18/CHO - ch14.18/CHO is given at a dose of 20 mg/m2/day over five days every four weeks for five courses

Experimental: R2: ch14.18/CHO plus Aldesleukin - Patients randomised to receive ch14.18/CHO plus Aldesleukin

Active Comparator: R3: COJEC Induction - Rapid COJEC induction treatment is applied over ten weeks; three different courses are given every ten days:
Course A (given on days 0 and 40): vincristine, carboplatin, and etoposide Course B (given on days 10, 30, 50, and 70): vincristine and cisplatin Course C (given on days 20 and 60): vincristine, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide

Experimental: R3: Modified N7 - The modified N7 induction is a dose intense induction chemotherapy regimen including two putatively non cross-resistent drug combinations: high-dose cyclophosphamide plus doxorubicin/vincristine (CAV) and high-dose cisplatin/etoposide (P/E).

Active Comparator: R4: cnt inf ch14.18/CHO - ch14.18/CHO is given as continuous Infusion over 10 days at a cumulative dose of 100mg/m2. Patients receive 5 cycles of ch14.18/CHO

Experimental: R4: cnt inf ch14.18/CHO plus Aldesleukin - ch14.18/CHO is given as continuous Infusion over 10 days at a cumulative dose of 100mg/m2. Patients receive 5 cycles of ch14.18/CHO.
In addition, Aldesleukin is given at a dose of 3 x 10e6 on days 1 to 5 and on days 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17 during ch14.18/CHO infusion


Treatment: Drugs: Vincristine
given during Rapid COJEC and modified N7 therapy

Treatment: Drugs: Aldesleukin
Aldesleukin is given during MRD Treatment for patients randomised to the arm with IL-2

Treatment: Drugs: ch14.18/CHO
ch14.18/CHO antibody is given during MRD treatment

Treatment: Drugs: Carboplatin
Carboplatin is given during induction Treatment (R3 randomisation: Rapid COJEC arm)

Treatment: Drugs: Etoposide
Etoposide is given during Induction Treatment (both R3 randomisation arms)

Treatment: Drugs: Cisplatin
Cisplatin is given during Induction Treatment (both R3 randomisation arms)

Treatment: Drugs: Cyclophosphamide
Cyclophosphamid is given during Induction Treatment (both R3 randomisation arms)

Treatment: Drugs: Doxorubicin
Doxorubicin is given during Induction Treatment (R3 arm modified N7)

Treatment: Drugs: G-CSF
G-CSF is given during Induction Treatment

Treatment: Drugs: Busulfan
In case i.v. busulfan is not available, the use of oral busulfan is permitted, although not recommended.

Treatment: Drugs: Melphalan

Staging System (INSS).

Summary
Brief summary
This is a randomized study of the European SIOP Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) in high-risk
neuroblastoma (stages 2, 3, 4 and 4s MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma, stage 4 MYCN non amplified
> 12 months at diagnosis).

The protocol consists of a rapid, dose intensive induction chemotherapy, peripheral blood
stem cell harvest, attempted complete excision of the primary tumour, myeloablative therapy
followed by peripheral blood stem cell rescue, radiotherapy to the site of the primary tumour
and immunotherapy (R4 randomization - isotretinoin and ch14.18/CHO (Dinutuximab beta, Qarziba
®).), with or without s.c. aldesleukin (IL-2)). Patients diagnosed after the closure of R3
randomization will not be R4 randomized. For these patients the use of ch14.18/CHO antibody
is recommended without scIL-2 as continuous infusion as standard of care outside of
controlled trials. ch14.18/CHO received marketing authorization by EMA in May 2017 (Qarziba
®).

In the induction phase, all patients receive Rapid COJEC following the result of the R3
randomization which was closed on June 8th, 2017 after inclusion of 630 patients as planned.

Following induction treatment peripheral blood stem cell harvest (PBSCH) is performed and
complete excision of the primary tumour will be attempted.

Patients with an inadequate metastatic response to allow BuMel MAT followed by PBSCR at the
end of induction should receive 2 TVD (Topotecan, Vincristine, Doxorubicin) cycles.

After Rapid COJEC induction, localized patients will proceed to consolidation. Patients aged
12-18 months at diagnosis, with stage 4 neuroblastoma, no MYCN amplification and without
segmental chromosomal alterations (SCAs) are thought to have a good prognosis and will stop
treatment after induction therapy and surgery to the primary tumour.

Consolidation consists of BuMel MAT based on the results of the R1 randomization followed by
peripheral blood stem cell rescue (PBSCR) and radiotherapy to the site of the primary tumour.

The R2 immunotherapy randomization using ch14.18/CHO as 8 hour infusion on 5 consecutive days
( total dose (100mg/m²) with or without aldesleukin (IL-2) alternated with isotretinoin
(13-cis-RA) is closed.

The amended R4 immunotherapy randomization using ch14.18/CHO as continuous infusion (total
dose 100mg/m² over 10 days) with or without aldesleukin (IL-2) alternated with isotretinoin
(13-cis-RA) has accrued according to plan with results pending awaiting data maturity and DMC
approval.
