Naxitamab-combination therapy for the treatment of patients with
refractory and/or relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma
Abstract
Approved treatments for patients with refractory and/or relapsed (R/R)
high-risk (HR) neuroblastoma are limited, and there is a high unmet need
for new treatment combinations. The Atrium Health Levine Children’s
Hospital pediatric oncology solid tumor team has successfully treated
ten patients with R/R HR neuroblastoma with the anti-disialoganglioside
2 antibody naxitamab with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating
factor (GM-CSF), and four patients with naxitamab and GM-CSF in
combination with cyclophosphamide and topotecan. Antibody therapy with
chemoimmunotherapy was well tolerated in the four heavily pre-treated
patients with R/R HR neuroblastoma who had few treatment options and
overall poor prognosis.
