MCT for the Harvard/UCSF ROBIN Center

Sponsor: Brigham and Women's Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of the Molecular Characterization Trial (MCT) is to obtain biological specimens and data resources from patients enrolled on prospective trials, to ensure that the Harvard/UCSF ROBIN Center accomplishes its key objective of advancing our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie how radiation treats tumors but also can cause unwanted side effects. The MCT focuses on collection of research biospecimens before, during, and after radiation. Also critical to the MCT is the deep annotation of these research biospecimens with elements that complement each other to provide a holistic, detailed view of each patient. Annotated elements include those used in the past such as clinical and biological features but extend to factors we have so far neglected but must incorporate in the future such as dosimetry (precise anatomical measurement of radiation dose), artificial intelligence, computational biology, and natural language processing.

Interventions

RADIATION

External beam radiotherapy

Subjects with diffuse midline glioma on PNOC023 (NCT04732065) Arm A or B receive standard-of-care external beam radiotherapy to the brain tumor.

RADIATION

131I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)

Subjects with high-risk neuroblastoma on COG ANBL1531 (NCT03126916) Arm B receive the radiopharmaceutical 131I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) 15 mCi/kg via either a central or a peripheral IV catheter over 1.5 to 2 hours at a maximum rate of 500 mCi/hour.
