Orphan Diseases•A disease for which no drug therapy has been developed because the small market would make the research and the drug unprofitable
•May be a rare disease (prevalence< 200,000 people)
•May be common disease that has been ignored (TB, cholera, typhoid, malaria) : far more prevalent in developing countries than in the developed world.
8H9
• 8H9- IgG(1) targets B7H3
• labeled by iodogen, retains immunoreactivity, 50 mCi 131I/mg 8H9
3F8
• 3F8 - IgG(3) which binds to GD2
• intravenous 3F8: detection and treatment of neuroblastoma
• labeled with I-124 and I-131
8H9+ Neg Control
ObjectivesPrimary:• to determine the response rate and overall
survival of pts with high risk CNS tumors treated with RIT
Secondary• to assess toxicities of serial injections of RIT
• Eligibility– recurrent CNS or LM Malignancy or high risk LM
tumor at Dx
– 3F8 or 8H9 +reactive tumors tested on frozen tumor tissue by IHC
CNS RIT
Pediatric Orphan Diseases Tackled To Date
>560 injections,140 patients
Primary CNS Tumors
•Ependymoma•Medulloblastoma•Choroid Plexus Carcinoma
•Chordoma•Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor•Embryonal Tumor w/Rosettes
Tumors Metastatic to the CNS
•Melanoma•Rhabdomyosarcoma•Retinoblastoma•Neuroblastoma
Toxicity Profile
• Transient headache, fever, vomiting common within 24 hrs of injection (self-limited, manageable with acetaminophen, anti-emetics)
• High mean CSF: blood ratio achieved– 131I-3F8 62.5 cGy/mCi: 1.5– 131I-8H9: 49.7 cGy/mCi: 2.7
With intraOmmaya 131-I-MoAb
as adjuvant ; J Neurooncol 2010;97(3):409-18.

Conclusions• injections manageable in outpatient setting
• acute side effects self-limited• favorable CSF:blood ratio• survival improvement as consolidation • long term side effects in survivors need to be
monitored:neurocognitive evaluationrisk of secondary malignancies (t-AML, secondary CNS)short stature
DIPG•Approximately 200 children per year/US ,between 5-9 years of age
•10-15% of all childhood CNS tumors
•Presentation rapid onset cranial nerve palsies and ataxia
•Inoperable; RT standard of care but palliative
•Uniformly poor prognosis, fatal; 90% children die within 12-18 months
•No advances in over 40 years
Objectives
PRIMARY •To determine the maximum tolerated dose of 124I-8H9
SECONDARY•To estimate tissue radiation doses and volumes of therapeutic distribution
•To assess the toxicity profile
•To assess overall survival

Preliminary Conclusions
• CED with 124I-8H9 for pts with non –progressive DIPG appears safe (doses 0.25-0.75 mCi)
• No DLTs• High tumor:non tumor ratio achieved• Overall survival analysis ongoing• ?what dose should be considered for phase II
consideration• Can enough RT via CED 124I-8H9 be safely
delivered to improve survival for pts with DIPG?
Where to go from here?
Limitations of the Past• Drug availability- never studied on
multicenter/consortium trials
• IND regulatory restrictions-
-cost of producing clinical grade drug
-cost of Data Monitoring/Safety on consortium trials
