Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to see find out what effects, good and/or bad, the combination of 3F8 and GM-CSF has on the patient and the cancer.

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL3F8/GM-CSF Immunotherapy Plus 13-Cis-Retinoic

This phase II, open-label, single arm trial assesses the anti-NB activity of high-dose 3F8 (80 mg/m2/day), which is used in cycles 1-2, with return to standard 3F8 dosage (20 mg/m2/day) in subsequent cycles.Clinical results will be compared to those in the predecessor trials which used only the standard 3F8 dosage. Starting with A(6), patients no longer receive high-dose 3F8 but receive only standard dose 3F8 (20mg/m2/day) for all cycles The patients have primary refractory BM disease. Protocol treatment is through 24 months. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR63-65 will be used to assess MRD in BM. 13-cis-retinoic acid is started no later than after cycle 4 (i.e., after response is scored), but sooner if CR is achieved after cycles 1, 2, or 3, or if early HAMA develops.

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.
