Phase I Dose Escalation and Pharmacokinetics Clinical Trial of Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride Liposome in Children With Relapsed and Refractory Lymphoma and Solid Tumors

Phase I dose escalation clinical trial: to explore the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in the treatment of children with relapsed and refractory lymphoma and solid tumors.

Pharmacokinetics clinical trial: to observe the pharmacokinetics of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposomes in children with relapsed and refractory lymphoma and solid tumors.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposomes in children with lymphoma and solid tumors.

This is a phase I dose escalation and pharmacokinetics clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposomes in children with lymphoma and solid tumors. In the phase Ia dose escalation study, patients with relapsed and refractory lymphoma and solid tumors will be treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome alone or combined treatment at the dose of 16 mg/m2, 20 mg/m2 and 24 mg/m2, each cohort wil enroll 9\~18 children. Simultaneously 6\~15 cases were added for pharmacokinetic study to ensure 8 cases are included in each dose group with the same mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome dose. In phase Ib, patients received the combination therapy of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome at the MTD dose (24mg/m2) .

  7. Neuroblastoma
  8. Other subtypes of lymphoma or solid tumors that the investigators believe can be included
* 5. Relapsed lymphoma is defined as the lymphoma that relapse after obtaining complete response (CR) after initial chemotherapy; Refractory lymphoma subjects meet one of the following conditions: 1) The tumor shrinks \<50% or disease progression after 4 cycles of standard chemotherapy,; 2) CR after standard chemotherapy, but relapse within half a year; 3) 2 or more relapses after CR; 4) relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;
* 6. Lymphoma subjects must have at least one evaluable or measurable lesion per lugano2014 criteria: for lymph node lesions, the length should be \> 1.5cm; For non-lymph node lesions, the length should be \> 1.0cm;
* 7. Solid tumors must have tumor lesions measurable by CT or MRI;
