Inclusion Criteria
  • Diagnosis of NB as defined by a) histopathology (confirmed by the MSKCC Department of Pathology), or b) BM metastases or MIBG-avid lesion(s) plus high urine catecholamine levels.
  • High-risk NB as defined by risk-related treatment guidelines1 and the International NB Staging System,89 i.e., stage 4 with (any age) or without (> or = to 18 months of age) MYCN amplification or MYCN-amplified stage 4S.
  • Patients have primary refractory disease limited to BM, i.e., high-risk NB (defined above) resistant to standard therapy, as evidenced by incomplete response in BM, but no measurable MIBG-avid soft tissue tumor assessable for response and no progressive disease.
  • Signed informed consent indicating awareness of the investigational nature of this program.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Creatinine > 3.0 mg/dL
  • ALT, AST and Alkaline Phosphatase > 5.0 times the upper limit of normal
  • Bilirubin > 3.0 mg/dL
  • Patients with grade 3 or higher toxicities (using the CTCAE v 4.0) related to cardiac, neurological, pulmonary or gastrointestinal function as determined by physical exam. Patients must have normal blood pressure for age.
  • Progressive disease
  • History of allergy to mouse proteins.
  • Active life-threatening infection.
  • Human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) titer >1000 Elisa units/ml.
  • Inability to comply with protocol requirements.

3F8/GM-CSF Immunotherapy Plus 13-Cis-Retinoic3F8/GM-CSF Immunotherapy Plus 13-Cis-RetinoicThis phase II study of the anti-GD2 murine IgG3 monoclonal antibody 3F8 combined with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) will assess response in of primary refractory neuroblastoma in bone marrow (i.e., incomplete response to standard treatment).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assess the Activity of High-dose 3F8/GM-CSF2 years

against persistent neuroblastoma in bone marrow of patients who have no other evidence of disease by standard studies.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Apply Real-time Quantitative RT-PCR2 years

to test the hypothesis that the minimal residual disease content of bone marrow after the first treatments with 3F8/GMCSF has significant prognostic impact on progression-free survival.

Monitor Safety of the High-dose Antibody Treatment2 years

to assure no side-effects or noxious sequelae develop or emerge that were not seen in the prior phase I study.
