RECRUITING

HSV G207 in Children With Recurrent or Refractory Cerebellar Brain Tumors

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of inoculating G207 (an experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication, tumor cell killing, and an anti-tumor immune response, will also be tested.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:3 Years to 21 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:CHILD, ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Age ≥ 36 months and \< 22 years
  2. * Pathologically proven malignant cerebellar brain tumor (including medulloblastoma, glioblastoma multiforme, giant cell glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor, ependymoma, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor, germ cell tumor, or other high-grade malignant tumor) which is progressive or recurrent despite standard care including surgery, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy. A pathologically proven secondary malignant cerebellar tumor without curative treatment options is eligible.
  3. * Lesion must be ≥ 1.0 cm ≤ 3.0 cm in diameter and surgically accessible as determined by MRI. Larger tumors may be surgically debulked and treated if ≤ 3.0 cm after debulking
  4. * Patients must have fully recovered from acute treatment related toxicities of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy prior to entering this study.
  5. * Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: patients must have received their last dose at least 3 weeks prior (or at least 6 weeks if nitrosurea)
  6. * Investigational/Biologic agents: patients must have recovered from any acute toxicities potentially related to the agent and received last dose ≥ 7 days prior to entering this study (this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur for agents with known adverse events ≥ 7 days). For viral therapy, patients must have received viral therapy ≥ 3 months prior to study entry and have recovered from all acute toxicities potentially related to the agent.
  7. * Monoclonal antibodies: The patient must have received last dose ≥ 21 days prior.
  8. * Radiation: Patients must have received their last fraction of craniospinal radiation (\>24 Gy) or total body irradiation ≥ 3 months prior to study entry. Patients must have received focal radiation to symptomatic metastatic sites or local palliative radiation ≥ 28 days prior to study entry.
  9. * Autologous bone marrow transplant: Patients must be ≥ 3 months since transplant prior to study entry.
  10. * Normal hematological, renal and liver function (absolute neutrophil count \> 1000/mm3, platelets \> 100,000/mm3, prothrombin time (PT) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \< 1.3 x control, creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance \>60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal, total bilirubin \< 1.5 mg/dl, transaminases \< 3 times above the upper limits of the institutional norm)
  11. * Patients \< 16 years, Modified Lansky performance score ≥ 60; patients ≥ 16 years, Karnofsky performance score ≥ 60
  12. * Patient life expectancy must be at least 8 weeks
  13. * Written informed consent in accordance with institutional and FDA guidelines must be obtained from patient or legal guardian
  1. * Any treatment outside the allowable guidelines outlined in section 5.1.
  2. * Diffuse, widespread, abnormal tumor pattern involving 3 or more lobes of the brain
  3. * Acute infection, granulocytopenia or medical condition precluding surgery
  4. * Pregnant or lactating females
  5. * Diagnosis of encephalitis or CNS infection \< 3 months prior, or receiving ongoing treatment for encephalitis, CNS infection or multiple sclerosis
  6. * Tumor involvement which would require ventricular or brainstem inoculation or would require access through a ventricle in order to deliver treatment
  7. * Required steroid increase within 1 week prior to G207 inoculation or patients requiring \>2 mg of dexamethasone daily
  8. * Known HIV seropositivity
  9. * Concurrent therapy with any drug active against HSV (acyclovir, valacyclovir, penciclovir, famciclovir, gancyclovir, foscarnet, cidofovir) or any immunosuppressive drug therapy (except dexamethasone or prednisone).
  10. * Other current malignancy
  11. * Concurrent anticancer or investigational drug
