Conditions
Brief summary
A prospective open label, multicenter study to evaluate the feasibility and acute toxicity of using molecularly guided therapy in combination with standard therapy followed by a Randomized Controlled Trial of standard immunotherapy with or without DFMO followed by DFMO maintenance for Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma.

Inclusion criteria
Part A- CLOSED: 1. Diagnosis: Participants must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma (nodular or intermixed) verified by histology or demonstration of clumps of tumor cells in bone marrow with elevated urinary catecholamine metabolites. Participants with the following disease stages at diagnosis are eligible, if they meet the other specified criteria: a) Participants with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma with INSS Stage 4 are eligible with the following: i. Age \> 18 months (\> 547 days) regardless of biologic features or ii. Age 12-18 months (365-547 days) with any of the following 3 unfavorable biologic features (MYCN amplification, unfavorable pathology and/or DNA index = 1) or iii. MYCN amplification (\> 4-fold increase in MYCN signals as compared to reference signals), regardless of age or additional biologic features. b) Participants with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma with INSS Stage 3 are eligible with the following: i. MYCN amplification (\> 4-fold increase in MYCN signals as compared to reference signals), regardless of age or additional biologic features or ii. Age \> 18 months (\> 547 days) with unfavorable pathology, regardless of MYCN status. c) Participants with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma with INSS Stage 2A/2B with MYCN amplification (\> 4-fold increase in MYCN signals as compared to reference signals), regardless of age or additional biologic features. 2. Participants must be age ≤ 21 years at initial diagnosis 3. Participants must not have had prior systemic therapy except for localized emergency radiation to sites of life-threatening or function-threatening disease and/or no more than 1 cycle of chemotherapy per a low or intermediate risk neuroblastoma regimen (as per P9641, A3961, ANBL0531, or similar) prior to determination of MYCN amplification status and histology. 4. Specimens will be obtained only in a non-significant risk manner and not solely for the purpose of investigational testing. 5. Ability to tolerate PBSC collection: No known contraindication to PBSC collection. Examples of contraindications would include a weight or size less than that determined to be feasible at the collecting institution, or a physical condition that would limit the ability of the child to undergo apheresis catheter placement (if necessary) and/or the apheresis procedure. Part A and B both- Part A CLOSED, Part B- OPEN: 6. Adequate Cardiac Function Defined As: 1. Shortening fraction of ≥ 27% by echocardiogram, or 2. Ejection fraction of ≥ 50% by radionuclide evaluation or echocardiogram. 7. Adequate liver function must be demonstrated, defined as: c. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age AND d. ALT (SGPT) \< 10 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age 8. ⦁ For participants \< 17 years old: estimated Glomerular Filtration rate (eGFR) as calculated from the Bedside Schwartz equation (in units of mL/min/1.73 m2) or via radioisotope GFR of ≥ 70 mL/min/1.73 m2. The Bedside Schwartz equation is: \[(0.413) X (Height in cm)\] / SCr ⦁ For participants ≥17 years old: estimated Glomerular Filtration rate (eGFR) as calculated from the Cockcroft and Gault formula (in units of mL/min/1.73 m2) or via radioisotope GFR of ≥ 70 mL/min/1.73 m2. The Cockcroft and Gault formula is: \[(140-age) x (Wt in kg) x (0.85 if female)\] / (72 x SCr) 9. A negative serum pregnancy test is required for female participants of child bearing potential (≥13 years of age or after onset of menses) 10. Post-pubertal study participants must be willing to use a highly effective contraceptive method (i.e., achieves a failure rate of \<1% per year when used consistently and correctly) from the time of informed consent (and assent, as applicable) until 6 months after study treatment discontinuation. Such methods include: combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal), progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable), intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, sexual abstinence. 11. Informed Consent: All participants and/or legal guardians must sign informed written consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to institutional guidelines. Part B- OPEN: 12. All patients must have a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of neuroblastoma, be age ≤ 21 years at initial diagnosis, and classified as high risk by the criteria used by COG or SIOPEN at the time of diagnosis. Exception: patients who are initially diagnosed as non-high-risk neuroblastoma, but later converted (and/or relapsed) to high risk neuroblastoma are also eligible. 13. Previous Therapy- participants must fit into one of the strata categories listed in section 10.5 to be eligible to enroll on Part B of this study. 14. Pre-enrollment tumor survey: Prior to enrollment on Part B, a determination of mandatory disease staging must be performed. Tumor imaging studies including CT or MRI, MIBG or PET, and VMA/HVA (PET scan should be done for patients with prior disease that was MIBG non-avid). Bone marrow aspirates and biopsies are required. This disease assessment is required for eligibility and should be done preferably within 2 weeks, but must be done within a maximum of 4 weeks before first dose of study drug. 15. Timing- Enrollment to occur prior to Day + 120 post-transplant, preferably when the participant is within 28 days after completing local radiation therapy (if given).
