About this trial

In this research study investigators want to learn more about treatment of advanced or recurrent retinoblastoma. For children with retinoblastoma that have an advanced stage of presentation in one eye or if they have failed all conventional treatment, eye removal is considered. This study will investigate the utility of a chemoplaque(s) to salvage eyes involved with retinoblastoma. The goal of the study is to further determine/assess the safety and efficacy and optimal chemotherapy dose for retinoblastoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age: Participants must be < 8 years of age.

Diagnosis and Treatment. Participants must have: Group D or earlier-stage intraocular retinoblastoma in which enucleation is a recommended therapy, OR Active residual or recurrent intraocular retinoblastoma in at least one eye following completion of first- line therapy (focal therapy for IIRC Group A eyes, or systemic or intra-arterial chemotherapy).

Must have demonstrated intraocular calcium in the tumor-containing eye by ophthalmic ultrasound or by neuroimaging as part of standard retinoblastoma diagnosis.

Study eye must have vision potential, at least light perception vision in the tumor-bearing eye either with pupil response testing or demonstration of avoidance behavior to light presentation in the affected eye, and no clinical features suggestive of high risk of extraocular extension.

Disqualifiers

tumor involving the optic nerve rim

clinical or EUA evidence of extraocular extension

evidence of metastatic retinoblastoma

existing neuroimaging showing suspicion of, or definitive, optic nerve invasion, trilateral retinoblastoma or extra-ocular extension.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To determine the safety and tolerability of Episcleral Topotecan in participants with retinoblastoma by measuring the rate and severity of treatment related adverse events in study participants as assessed by CTCAE version 5.0 criteria.

Time frame
12 weeks and follow up

Secondary outcomes

1

To determine the safety and tolerability of Episcleral Topotecan in participants with retinoblastoma by measuring the rate and severity of treatment related ocular adverse events in study participants as assessed by CTCAE version 5.0 criteria.

Time frame
12 weeks and follow up
2

To determine the safety and tolerability of Episcleral Topotecan in participants with retinoblastoma by measuring the rate and severity of treatment related systemic adverse events in study participants as assessed by CTCAE version 5.0 criteria.

Time frame
12 weeks
3

To describe the anti-tumor efficacy of Episcleral Topotecan

Tumor response will be assessed via image analysis with following criteria: Complete Response (CR): Decrease in tumor activity 100% from baseline. Very good partial response (VGPR): Decrease in tumor activity greater than or equal to 80% and less than 100% from baseline. Partial response (PR): Decrease in tumor activity greater than or equal to 20% and less than 80% from baseline. Stable disease (SD): Less than 20% decrease in tumor activity from baseline. Progressive disease (PD): Increase in tumor activity greater than or equal to 20% from baseline or development of new tumours requiring more than minimal focal therapy.

Time frame
12 weeks and follow up
