A Phase 3 Study of 131I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) or Crizotinib Added to Intensive Therapy for Children with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma (NBL) (IND# 134379)
Objective
To determine in the context of a randomized trial whether the EFS of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk NBL is improved with the addition of 131I-MIBG during Induction, prior to tandem autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
To determine whether the addition of crizotinib to intensive multimodality therapy for patients with high-risk NBL whose tumors harbor activating point mutations in or amplification of the ALK gene results in superior EFS compared to a contemporaneously treated cohort of patients whose tumors lack these ALK aberrations.
