Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies if dinutuximab, GM-CSF, isotretinoin in combination with irinotecan, and temozolomide (chemo-immunotherapy) can be given safely to patients with high-risk neuroblastoma after Consolidation therapy (which usually consists of two autologous stem cell transplants and radiation) who have not experienced worsening or recurrence of their disease. Dinutuximab represents a kind of cancer therapy called immunotherapy. Unlike chemotherapy and radiation, dinutuximab targets the cancer cells without destroying nearby healthy cells. Sargramostim helps the body produce normal infection-fighting white blood cells. Isotretinoin helps the neuroblastoma cells become more mature. These 3 drugs (standard immunotherapy) are already given to patients with high-risk neuroblastoma after Consolidation because they have been proven to be beneficial in this setting. Chemotherapy drugs, such as irinotecan and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. They may also affect how well immunotherapy works on neuroblastoma cells. Giving chemo-immunotherapy after intensive therapy may work better in treating patients with high-risk neuroblastoma compared to standard immunotherapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Patients Who Complete 5 Cycles of Dinutuximab + Chemotherapy Without Progressive Disease (PD)
Will be assessed by estimation of the feasibility therapy completion rate together with a 95% Wilson confidence interval (CI).
Within 30 weeks from the date of first treatment
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Event-free Survival (EFS)
From the time of start of protocol therapy to the occurrence of disease relapse or progression, secondary malignancy, or death, assessed at 1 year.
Overall Survival (OS)
From the time of start of protocol therapy to death, assessed at 1 year.
Study Arms (1)
Treatment (temozolomide, irinotecan, dinutuximab)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive temozolomide PO or via enteral tube daily and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes daily on days 1-5, dinutuximab IV over 10-20 hours daily on days 2-5, sargramostim SC or IV over 2 hours daily on days 6-12, and isotretinoin PO BID on days 8-21. Patients undergo MUGA during screening. Patients also undergo MRI, or CT, I23I-MIBG, or FDG-PET, BM aspiration, and BM biopsy on study. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 5 cycles (up to 6 cycles for isotretinoin only) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must be \< 31 years of age at the time of enrollment.
- Patients must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma (nodular) (verified by tumor pathology analysis or demonstration of clumps of tumor cells in bone marrow with elevated urinary catecholamine metabolites at the time of diagnosis) and have been designated as having high-risk disease based on Children's Oncology Group (COG) risk classification. The following disease groups are eligible:
- Patients with International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) Stage M disease with any of the following features:
- MYCN amplification (\> 4-fold increase in MYCN signals as compared to reference signals), regardless of additional biologic features; OR
- Age \> 547 days at the time of diagnosis regardless of biologic features; OR
- Age 365-547 days at the time of diagnosis with tumors with unfavorable histology and/or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) index = 1
- Patients with INRG Stage MS disease with MYCN amplification
- Patients with INRG Stage L2 disease with either of the following features:
- MYCN amplification (\> 4-fold increase in MYCN signals as compared to reference signals), regardless of additional biologic features; OR
- Age \> 547 days at the time of diagnosis with MYCN non-amplified tumors with unfavorable histology
- Note: Patients observed or patients treated with a single cycle of chemotherapy per a low or intermediate risk neuroblastoma regimen (e.g., as per ANBL0531, ANBL1232 or similar) for what initially appeared to be non-high-risk disease but subsequently found to meet criteria will also be eligible
- Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1 or 2. Use Karnofsky for patients \> 16 years of age and Lansky for patients =\< 16 years
- Prior therapy
- All patients must have completed high-risk Induction therapy with 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy
- After completion of Induction therapy, patients may have received no more than 4 cycles of bridging chemotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy prior to ASCT
- +27 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Patients must not have had progressive disease (PD) per the revised International Neuroblastoma Risk Criteria (INRC) since the initial diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma
- Exception: Progressive disease within the first 2 cycles of Induction chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide and topotecan is allowed. Patients with progression subsequent to initial cyclophosphamide and topotecan cycles are excluded
- Patients may not have received additional systemic cancer-directed therapy following completion of the last planned high-dose chemotherapy with ASCT prior to enrollment on this trial
- Patients may not have received iodine-131 (131I)-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) therapy at any time prior to enrollment on this trial
- Patients who received single (rather than tandem) high-dose chemotherapy with ASCT are excluded
- Patients cannot be receiving other ongoing anticancer therapy
- Patients who were enrolled onto ANBL1531 AND underwent arm assignment are not eligible. Patients who enrolled onto ANBL1531 who declined second consent may be eligible for ANBL19P1 if all other criteria are met
- Patients enrolled onto ANBL17P1 are not eligible
- Patients must have been off pharmacologic doses of systemic steroids for at least 7 days prior to enrollment
- Patients who require or are likely to require pharmacologic doses of systemic corticosteroids while receiving treatment on this study are ineligible. The only exception is for patients known to require 2 mg/kg or less of hydrocortisone (or an equivalent dose of an alternative corticosteroid) as premedication for blood product administration in order to avoid allergic transfusion reactions
- Note: The use of conventional doses of inhaled steroids for the treatment of asthma is permitted, as is the use of physiologic doses of steroids for patients with known adrenal insufficiency
- Patients on any other immunosuppressive medications (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus) are not eligible. However, prior or planned concomitant treatment with eculizumab is permitted (e.g., treatment of TA-TMA)
- Patients must not have received enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants including phenytoin, phenobarbital, valproic acid, or carbamazepine for at least 7 days prior to study enrollment
- Note: Patients receiving non-enzyme inducing anticonvulsants such as gabapentin or levetiracetam are eligible
- Patients must not have received drugs that are strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 within 7 days prior to study enrollment
- +11 more criteria
