- Event free survival (EFS) (Arm A, B, D, and E) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]EFS time is calculated from date of randomization or assignment to first episode of disease relapse or progression, second malignancy, or death, or until last contact if no event has occurred.
- Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 18 months for Arms A-D and 28 months for Arm E ]The proportion of patients with at least one Grade 3 or higher toxicity during protocol therapy, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0, will be reported.
- EFS (Arm C) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]EFS time is calculated from date of randomization to first episode of disease relapse or progression, second malignancy, or death, or until last contact if no event has occurred.
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]OS time is calculated from date of randomization or assignment until death, or until last contact if patient is alive.
- Response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]The response rate will be calculated among all evaluable patients at end-Induction. Responders are defined as patients who achieve a >= partial response (PR) per the revised International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC).

Ages Eligible for Study: | 365 Days to 30 Years (Child, Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must be enrolled on ANBL00B1 (NCT00904241) or APEC14B1 (NCT02402244) prior to enrollment on ANBL1531 (NCT03126916)
- Patient must be >= 365 days and =< 30 years of age at diagnosis
-
Patients must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma (nodular) verified by tumor pathology analysis or demonstration of clumps of tumor cells in bone marrow with elevated urinary catecholamine metabolites; the following disease groups are eligible:
-
Patients with International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) stage M disease are eligible if found to have either of the following features:
- MYCN amplification (> 4-fold increase in MYCN signals as compared to reference signals), regardless of additional biologic features; OR
- Age > 547 days regardless of biologic features
- Patients with INRG stage MS disease with MYCN amplification
- Patients with INRG stage L2 disease with MYCN amplification
- Patients > 547 days of age initially diagnosed with INRG stage L1, L2 or MS disease who progressed to stage M without prior chemotherapy may enroll within 4 weeks of progression to stage M
- Patients >= 365 days of age initially diagnosed with MYCN amplified INRG stage L1 disease who progress to stage M without systemic therapy may enroll within 4 weeks of progression to stage M
-
- Patients initially recognized to have high-risk disease must have had no prior systemic therapy (other than topotecan/cyclophosphamide initiated on an emergent basis and within allowed timing); patients observed or treated with a single cycle of chemotherapy per a low or intermediate risk neuroblastoma regimen (e.g., as per ANBL0531, ANBL1232 or similar) for what initially appeared to be non-high risk disease but subsequently found to meet the criteria will also be eligible; patients who receive localized emergency radiation to sites of life-threatening or function-threatening disease prior to or immediately after establishment of the definitive diagnosis will be eligible
-
Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 70 mL/min/1.73 m^2 or a serum creatinine based on age/sex as follows:
- 1 to < 2 years: male = 0.6; female = 0.6
- 2 to < 6 years: male = 0.8; female = 0.8
- 6 to < 10 years: male = 1; female = 1
- 10 to < 13 years: male = 1.2; female = 1.2
- 13 to < 16 years: male = 1.5; female = 1.4
- >= 16 years: male = 1.7; female = 1.4
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age, and
- Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) (alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) < 10 x ULN; for the purposes of this study, ULN for SGPT (ALT) is 45
- Shortening fraction of >= 27% by echocardiogram, or ejection fraction of > 50% by echocardiogram or radionuclide angiogram
- No known contraindication to peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection; examples of contraindications might be a weight or size less than the collecting institution finds feasible, or a physical condition that would limit the ability of the child to undergo apheresis catheter placement (if necessary) and/or the apheresis procedure
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with INRG stage L2 tumors without amplification of MYCN regardless of tumor histology (may meet criteria for high risk classification but are not eligible for this trial)
- Patients with bone marrow failure syndromes
- Patients for whom targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy would be contraindicated due to underlying medical disorders
- Female patients who are pregnant since fetal toxicities and teratogenic effects have been noted for several of the study drugs; a pregnancy test is required for female patients of childbearing potential
- Lactating females who plan to breastfeed their infants
- Sexually active patients of reproductive potential who have not agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for the duration of their study participation
