What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The modern strategy of therapy of high-risk neuroblastoma, stage 4, consists of three phases - induction, consolidation and post- consolidation. Still current approaches demonstrates insufficient levels of ORR (overall response rate), OS (overall survival) and EFS (event free survival).
NB-HR-2023 (neuroblastoma high risk) protocol aimed to investigate tolerability and toxicity and potential improvement of ORR, OS and EFS by overcoming of tumor heterogeneous drug resistance using the synergistic interaction of cytostatic and immunobiological agents in the induction. Protocol include the combination of standard chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with anti-GD2 MAB, which is potentially expected to improve outcomes in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma, 4th stage older 18 months.
Currently, treatment with combinations of cytostatics with immunobiological agents is limite
