Abstract
Although outcomes for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma improved after the addition of a chimeric anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody (dinutuximab) as treatment for minimal residual disease, nearly half of these patients die of disease. Recent studies demonstrated efficacy of the combination of chemotherapy with anti-GD2 mAb in patients with relapsed or newly diagnosed disease. This retrospective case series describes 6 patients treated at St Jude Children's Research Hospital with an induction regimen containing dinutuximab and chemotherapy, followed by consolidation and postconsolidation therapy. The treatment was well tolerated with expected toxicities. All patients completed induction therapy and demonstrated a clinical response. Further studies are warranted.
