What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The study participant is being asked to take part in this research study because the participant has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma that did not fully respond to previous treatment (refractory), or it has returned after treatment (relapsed).
Primary Aims
* To evaluate if the administration of N-803 in combination with irinotecan, temozolomide, hu14-18K322A, and GM-CSF in patients with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma is feasible and tolerable
* To determine if the response rate of N-803 with irinotecan, temozolomide, hu14.18K322A and GM-CSF in patients with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma is superior to the combination of irinotecan, temozolomide, hu14.18K322A, and GM-CSF
Secondary Aims
* To describe the toxicity profile of N-803 administered with irinotecan, temozolomide, hu14.18K322A and GM-CSF
* To evaluate and compare the progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival

๐ Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
Age
\- Patients must be \< 30 at the time of enrollment on study.
Diagnosis
\- Patients must have had histologic verification of neuroblastoma or demonstration of neuroblastoma cells in the bone marrow with elevated urinary or serum catecholamines \[i.e., \> 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN)\], at the time of initial diagnosis.
Disease Risk Group
* Patients must have high-risk neuroblastoma according to COG risk classification at the time of study registration. Patients whose disease was initially considered low or intermediate risk but were then reclassified as high-risk neuroblastoma prior to enrollment are also eligible.
Response to Prior Therapy (using INRC definitions)
\- Patients must have at least ONE (recurrent/progressive, refractory, or persistent) of the following:
* Recurrent/progressive disease after the diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma at any time prior to enrollment regardless of response to frontline therapy. (Note that this excludes patients initially considered low or intermediate risk that progressed to high-risk disease but have not progressed after the diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma).
* Refractory disease: A best overall response of no response/stable disease since diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma AND after at least 4 cycles of induction therapy.
* Persistent disease: A best overall response of partial response since diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma AND after at least 4 cycles of induction therapy
Sites of Disease
\- Patients must have at least ONE of the following (lesions may have received prior radiation therapy if they meet the other criteria listed below) based on institutional assessment:
Bone Sites
โข MIBG avid tumors: patients must meet one of the following criteria:
a. Patients with recurrent/progressive or refractory disease: i. Must have at least one MIBG avid bone site on planar imaging OR ii. Must have \> 2 lesions on SPECT/CT. A biopsy is not required unless the above imaging criteria are not met
b. Patients with persistent disease: i. If a patient has 3 or more MIBG avid bone lesions, then no biopsy is required.
ii. If a patient has only 1 or 2 MIBG avid bone lesion sites, then biopsy confirmation of neuroblastoma and/or ganglioneuroblastoma in at least one MIBG avid site present at the time of enrollment is required. Bone lesions may be biopsied at any time point prior to enrollment.
* For MIBG non-avid tumors, patients must have at least an FDG-PET avid site and meet the following criteria:
1. Biopsy confirmation of neuroblastoma and/or ganglioneuroblastoma at any time prior to enrollment of at least one FDG-PET avid site.
Bone Marrow
\- Any amount of tumor cells in the bone marrow (including neuroblasts, mature and maturing ganglion cells) done at the time of study enrollment based on routine morphology and/or immunohistochemistry in at least one sample from bilateral aspirates and biopsies. NOTE: Patients with bone marrow disease only will be eligible if they have more than 5% disease involvement (documented neuroblastoma cells) in at least one sample from bilateral bone marrow biopsies.
Soft Tissue Sites
\- At least one soft tissue lesion that meets criteria for a TARGET lesion as defined by:
* SIZE: Lesion can be accurately measured in at least one dimension with a longest diameter โฅ 10 mm, or for discrete lymph nodes โฅ 15mm on short axis. Lesions meeting size criteria will be considered measurable.
* In addition to size, a lesion needs to meet ONE of the following criteria except for patients with parenchymal CNS lesions which will only need to meet size criteria:
a. For MIBG avid tumors: lesion must be MIBG avid and meet one of the following criteria: i. For patients with recurrent/progressive or refractory disease: no biopsy is required ii. For patients with persistent disease:
* If a patient has 3 or more MIBG avid soft tissue lesions, then no biopsy is required.
* If a patient has only 1 or 2 MIBG avid soft tissue lesion sites) then biopsy confirmation of neuroblastoma and/or ganglioneuroblastoma in at least one MIBG avid site present at the time of enrollment is required. Soft tissue lesions may be biopsied at any time point prior to enrollment.
b. For MIBG non-avid tumors patient must have at least one FDG avid site and meet the following criteria: i. Biopsy confirmation of neuroblastoma and/or ganglioneuroblastoma from a lesion at any time prior to enrollment of at least one FDG-PET avid site.
ii. At least one non-target soft tissue lesion that is not measurable but had a biopsy positive for neuroblastoma and/or ganglioneuroblastoma at any time prior to enrollment OR is MIBG avid on planar imaging.
Performance Status
\- Patients must have Lansky (โค16 years) or Karnofsky (\>16 years) score of โฅ50 (Appendix I).
Note: Patients who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.
Prior Therapy
\- Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to study registration. Patients must not have received the therapies indicated below within the specified time prior to registration on this study as follows:
