Study Summary
This trial will study whether adding the drug naxitamab to standard induction therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma improves responses and survival.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults up to 21 years old with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. Participants must have certain types of the disease, good liver and kidney function, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. They should agree to use effective contraception if applicable. Those who've had previous systemic therapy beyond one cycle or are on immunosuppressants may not qualify.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests adding naxitamab to standard chemotherapy during the first five cycles of treatment for neuroblastoma. For patients with an ALK mutation, ceritinib will also be included once test results are available. The goal is to see if this combination improves response rates and survival compared to standard therapy alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to infusion such as fever or chills, pain at tumor sites due to inflammation caused by immune response, changes in blood pressure, allergic reactions, bone marrow suppression leading to low blood cell counts which can increase infection risk.

Research Highlights
Information in this section is not a recommendation. We encourage patients to speak with their healthcare team when evaluating any treatment decision.Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
Naxitamab, an anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody, targets the GD2 antigen present on Neuroblastoma cells, leading to the destruction of these cancer cells by the immune system. This targeted approach helps in minimizing damage to healthy cells, thereby reducing side effects.
Ceritinib, an ALK inhibitor, blocks the activity of the ALK protein, which is often mutated and overactive in Neuroblastoma, leading to uncontrolled cell growth. By inhibiting ALK, Ceritinib helps to halt the proliferation of cancer cells.
These mechanisms are crucial for Neuroblastoma patients as they offer more precise and effective treatment options, potentially improving outcomes and reducing the burden of side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
