Ocular Conservative Treatment for Retinoblastoma : Efficacy of the New Management Strategies and Visual Outcome (RETINO 2018)

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT04681417 (RETINO 2018) is designed to study Treatment for Retinoblastoma. It is a Phase 2 Phase 3 interventional trial that is recruiting, having started on 25 March 2021, with plans to enroll 225 participants. Led by Institut Curie, it is expected to complete by 20 January 2036. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 28 November 2025.
Brief Summary

This protocol includes 2 independent studies. Both studies are multicenter studies, evaluating different therapeutic approaches in two different populations of patients:

  • Study 1, a randomized phase-II study evaluating the efficacy of Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy (IAC) with melphalan and topotecan versus melphalan alone, both in association with ophthalmologic treatments.
  • Study 2, a minimally invasive interventional study evaluating the results on visual function following reference treatment with intravenous (IV) chemotherapy in association with ophthalmologic or local ophthalmological treatment without IV chemotherapy.
Detailed Description

Primary objective of the studies:

  • Study 1: To evaluate the efficacy of IAC in term of local control of the disease in patients eligible for IAC (randomized phase II study);
  • Study 2: To assess the visual function, based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, in patients eligible for other conservative treatments (IV chemotherapy in association with local ophthalmologic trématent or local ophthalmological treatment without IV chemotherapy; this is a minimally invasive interventional study).

ExperimentalStudy 1: Melphalan or Melphalan + Topotecan
Randomized phase-II study evaluating the efficacy of Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy (IAC) with melphalan and topotecan versus melphalan alone, both in association with ophthalmologic treatments.
Melphalan or Melphalan + Topotecan
IAC: 2-6 cycles every 1 month (number based on the local tumor evolution), performed using radio-guided catheterization and delivery at the ostium of the ophthalmic artery, in neuroradiology operating room, and under General Anesthesia (GA). IAC will be administered at the Fondation Rothschild Hospital in collaboration with the Interventional Neuroradiology team.
