  Purpose
This study is looking to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of lyso-thermosensitive liposomal doxorubicin (LTLD) administered in combination with MR-HIFU in children with relapsed/refractory solid tumors, which may include but are not limited to rhabdomyosarcoma and other soft tissue sarcomas, Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, Wilms' tumor, hepatic tumors, and germ cell tumors.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Maximum tolerated dose of LTLD [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ]
    To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of LTLD administered in combination with MR-HIFU ablation in children with relapsed/refractory solid tumors by examining blood samples collected from participants

  • Toxicity profile of LTLD [ Time Frame: up to 18 weeks ]
    To define and describe the toxicities of LTLD administered in combination with MR-HIFU as measured by reportable adverse events of participants as per the CTCAE v 4.0

  • Pharmacokinetics of LTLD [ Time Frame: 8 days ]
    Analyze blood samples of participants to characterize the pharmacokinetic properties of LTLD administered in combination with MR-HIFU

  • Feasibility of treatment [ Time Frame: up to 18 weeks ]
    To determine the feasibility of LTLD administered at the recommended dose in combination with MR-HIFU induced mild hyperthermia (MHT) as determined by patient outcomes and adverse events


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Antitumor Activity of the Treatment [ Time Frame: up to 18 weeks ]
    To preliminarily determine the antitumor activity of LTLD with MR-HIFU within the confines of a phase 1 study by examining the response of target lesions using RECIST criteria v1.1

  • Social Impact of the Treatment on Participants [ Time Frame: up to 18 weeks ]
    To determine changes in symptoms and quality of life in children treated with LTLD and MR-HIFU by administering the Symptom Distress Scale and Peds QL v4.0 to participants

  • Determine the Changes in Pharmacodynamic Immune Markers in Participants [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ]
    To determine the changes in immune markers in children treated with LTLD and MR-HIFU by examining blood samples from participants
Estimated Enrollment: 34
Study Start Date: October 2016
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2020
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2018 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Part A
LTLD will be administered intravenously in combination with MR-HIFU ablation on day 1 of every 21 day cycle. There will be two potential dose escalation of LTLD with highest dose not to exceed the adult recommended MTD. Patients may receive up to a total of 6 cycles.
 Device: Magnetic resonance high intensity focused ultrasound
Magnetic resonance (MR)-high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) provides precise controlled delivery of heat by focusing ultrasound energy inside a lesion using an external applicator that is completely non-invasive and non-ionizing.
Other Name: MR-HIFU
Drug: Lyso-thermosensitive liposomal doxorubicin
A heat-activated formulation of liposomal doxorubicin with unique property of heat-activated release of doxorubicin, an active agent in most pediatric solid tumors.
Other Name: LTLD; ThermoDox
Experimental: Part B
LTLD at dose determined from Part A will be administered intravenously on day 1 of every 21 day cycle. MR-HIFU induced MHT will follow immediately post LTLD infusion for one hour to target area with target temperatures of 40-45°C. Patients may receive up to a total of 6 cycles
 Device: Magnetic resonance high intensity focused ultrasound
Magnetic resonance (MR)-high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) provides precise controlled delivery of heat by focusing ultrasound energy inside a lesion using an external applicator that is completely non-invasive and non-ionizing.

Drug: Lyso-thermosensitive liposomal doxorubicin
A heat-activated formulation of liposomal doxorubicin with unique property of heat-activated release of doxorubicin, an active agent in most pediatric solid tumors.
Other Name: LTLD; ThermoDox

Detailed Description:

This is phase 1 trial of LTLD with MR-HIFU induced heating in children and young adults with relapsed/refractory solid tumors.

Part A of the trial will be a traditional dose escalation study to determine the pediatric MTD/RP2D of LTLD combined with MR-HIFU ablation which allows for release of doxorubicin in the ablation zone and peri-ablation margins.

Part B of the trial will combine LTLD at the MTD/RP2D with MR-HIFU induced mild hyperthermia (MHT) in an expanded cohort.
