Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to see if high-dose 3F8 combined with GM-CSF is better than standard dose 3F8 in treating neuroblastoma. Another purpose of the study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, 3F8 has on cancer. The investigators also want to see if the antibody works against a very small amount of neuroblastoma (minimal residual disease) that is left in the bone marrow.


Eligibility criteria: 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, MYCN-amplified stage 2 or stage 3 (any age), or MYCN-amplified stage 4S.
* The patients are post-stem cell transplantation and in first CR/VGPR, including no measurable MIBG-avid soft tissue tumor assessable for response.
* Signed informed consent indicating awareness of the investigational nature of this program.
