RECRUITING

A Study of a Vaccine in Combination With Beta-glucan in People With Neuroblastoma

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

The purpose of this study is to test which treatment schedule of β-glucan with bivalent vaccine is more effective for participants with high-risk neuroblastoma that is in complete remission.

Official Title

Phase II Trial of a Bivalent Vaccine With the Immunological Adjuvant OPT-821 (QS-21), in Combination With Randomization of Oral β-glucan, for High-Risk Neuroblastoma

Plus:
  5. * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 500/mcl
  6. * Absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 500/mcl
  7. * \>21 and \<180 days between completion of systemic therapy and 1st vaccination.
  8. * A negative pregnancy test is required for patients with child-bearing capability
  9. * Signed informed consent indicating awareness of the investigational nature of this program.
  1. * Patients with grade 4 hematologic, cardiac, neurological, pulmonary, renal, hepatic or gastrointestinal function as determined by blood tests or physical exam, using the Common Toxicity Criteria (Version 5.0) developed by the National Cancer Institute of the USA.
  2. * History of allergy to KLH, QS-21, OPT-821, or glucan
  3. * Prior treatment with this vaccine.
  4. * Active life-threatening infection requiring systemic therapy.
  5. * Inability to comply with protocol requirements.
