PHO-COG-ANBL1531

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine in the context of a randomized trial whether the event-free survival (EFS) of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma (NBL) is improved with the addition of iobenguane I-131 (131I-MIBG) during induction, prior to tandem autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).

II. To determine whether the addition of lorlatinib to intensive multimodality therapy for patients with high-risk NBL whose tumors harbor activating point mutations in the ALK gene with a variant allele frequency (VAF) \>= 5% results in superior EFS compared to a contemporaneously treated cohort of patients with tumors without documented ALK activating mutations.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe the toxicities associated with treatment for high-risk NBL with and without the addition of 131I-MIBG or ALK inhibitor therapy.

II. To estimate EFS and describe toxicity in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk NBL randomized to treatment with an 131I-MIBG-containing induction prior to busulfan/melphalan (BuMel) ASCT.

III. To describe the overall survival (OS) and response rates (evaluated per International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria \[INRC\] criteria prior to ASCT and prior to post-consolidation therapy) for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma treated with or without 131I-MIBG or ALK inhibitor therapy.

IV. To prospectively evaluate the relationship of response rate per revised International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC) to EFS and OS in patients with high-risk NBL treated with and without the addition of 131I-MIBG or ALK inhibitor therapy.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate whole body radiation dose, tumor factors, and host factors as potential predictors of efficacy and/or toxicity associated with 131I-MIBG therapy and transplant conditioning.

II. To describe end-Induction response, EFS, and OS according to specific ALK mutations, VAF, ALK amplification, the presence of additional genomic findings, or the ALK inhibitor administered.

III. To characterize changes in tumor markers (circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\], including ALK and other tumor specific genetic aberrations, and circulating GD2) over time in response to protocol therapy.

IV. To correlate results of tumor and host profiling with end-induction response and EFS.

V. To prospectively evaluate EFS for patients with MIBG non-avid high-risk NBL compared to patients with MIBG-avid high-risk NBL who are randomized to treatment without 131I-MIBG.

VI. To correlate Curie scores calculated from 131I-MIBG post-treatment scans with end-induction response, EFS and OS.

VII. To describe changes in image defined risk factors (IDRFs) over the course of induction therapy, with correlation to surgical outcomes and local failure rates following primary tumor resection.

VIII. To define patterns of failure at time of first relapse or progression in patients with high-risk NBL.

IX. To determine the feasibility of prospectively monitoring adverse events using electronic health records.

X. To compare local, central, and computer assisted Curie score assignment at baseline and during therapy in patients with MIBG-avid high-risk NBL.

XI. To compare late toxicities (including impaired organ function and secondary tumor occurrence) in patients treated with 131I-MIBG or ALK inhibitor therapy to late toxicities in patients who have not received these therapies.

XII. To determine the association between household material hardship (HMH) and clinical outcomes, including event free and overall survival, and 131I-MIBG receipt.

XIII. To compare the outcomes (EFS, OS, and toxicity) of patients treated with post-consolidation therapy that does not contain aldesleukin to historical outcome data for patients treated with similar induction and consolidation regimens followed by post-consolidation therapy that contained aldesleukin.

XIV. To characterize and describe longitudinal neuropsychological and behavioral effects of high-risk neuroblastoma therapy.

XV. To evaluate change in neurobehavioral outcomes over time in patients with neuroblastoma treated with high-risk neuroblastoma therapy plus lorlatinib compared to high-risk therapy alone using parent- or self-report measures of adaptive, executive, and psychosocial functioning.

XVI. To characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmaceutical properties of lorlatinib in children with high-risk neuroblastoma.

XVII. To compare the EFS of patients enrolled on Arm E and treated with lorlatinib to the EFS of a historical control comprised of patients with ALK aberrant disease treated on ANBL0532 (NCT00567567).

XVIII. To describe the EFS of patients enrolled on Arm E according to lorlatinib exposure during post-consolidation.
