Summary

This study tests whether adding an antibody drug called hu14.18K322A to standard chemotherapy helps children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a rare but aggressive childhood cancer. About 144 children and teens aged 18 months to 18 years will receive the combination over up to 12 cycles. Researchers will measure how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear, and track survival over time.
