ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine the response rate to oral capsular fenretinide in children with recurrent or biopsy proven refractory high-risk neuroblastoma. EXPERIMENTALDESIGN:
Patients received 7 days of fenretinide 2,475 mg/m(2)/d divided TID (<18 years) or 1,800 mg/m(2)/d divided BID (≥18 years) every 21 days for a maximum of 30 courses. Patients with stable or responding disease after course 30 could request additional compassionate courses. Best response by course 8 was evaluated in stratum 1 (measurable disease on CT/MRI ± bone marrow and/or MIBG avid sites) and stratum 2 (bone marrow and/or MIBG avid sites only).RESULTS:
Sixty-two eligible patients, median age 5 years (range 0.6-19.9), were treated in stratum 1 (n = 38) and stratum 2 (n = 24). One partial response (PR) was seen in stratum 2 (n = 24 evaluable). No responses were seen in stratum 1 (n = 35 evaluable). Prolonged stable disease (SD) was seen in 7 patients in stratum 1 and 6 patients in stratum 2 for 4 to 45+ (median 15) courses. Median time to progression was 40 days (range 17-506) for stratum 1 and 48 days (range 17-892) for stratum 2. Mean 4-HPR steady-state trough plasma concentrations were 7.25 µmol/L (coefficient of variation 40-56%) at day 7 course 1. Toxicities were mild and reversible.CONCLUSIONS:
Although neither stratum met protocol criteria for efficacy, 1 PR + 13 prolonged SD occurred in 14/59 (24%) of evaluable patients. Low bioavailability may have limited fenretinide activity. Novel fenretinide formulations with improved bioavailability are currently in pediatric phase I studies.
