Patients must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma either by histologic verification of neuroblastoma and/or demonstration of tumor cells in the bone marrow with increased urinary catecholamines.

-
Patients must have at least ONE of the following:
-
Recurrent/progressive disease after the diagnosis of high risk neuroblastoma at any time prior to enrollment - regardless of response to frontline therapy. (Note that this excludes patients initially considered low or intermediate risk that progressed to high risk disease but have not progressed after the diagnosis of high risk neuroblastoma).
-
If no prior history of recurrent/progressive disease since the diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma,
2a) Refractory disease: A best overall response of no response/stable disease since diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma AND after at least 4 courses of induction therapy.
2b) Persistent disease: A best overall response of partial response since diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma AND after at least 4 courses of induction therapy

-
Patients must have at least ONE of the following (lesions may have received prior radiation therapy as long as they meet the other criteria listed below) based on institutional assessment:

Each cycle will be 21 days but may be extended to 28 days due to treatment delays. The response evaluation is based on central review or site review (when central review is not available) of patient diagnostic assessments. Response is determined by the NANT response criteria v2.0 (https://doi.org/10.1002/pbc.26940).
1. Complete response
2. Partial response
3. Minor response
4. Stable response
5. Progressive disease
