Safety and Efficacy of Systemic Allogenic NK Cells in R/R Neuroblastoma

Inclusion Criteria:

1. High-risk neuroblastoma that is resistant to standard induction therapy based on COG (Children's Oncology Group) criteria (according to INRG criteria and having receivedat least 4 cycles of multi-drug induction chemotherapy, and not responding toconventional treatments).

2. Evidence of relapse or progression of neuroblastoma after autologous peripheralblood stem cell transplantation or aggressive therapy.

3. A minimum life expectancy of 6 months.

4. Patients must have a pathological diagnosis of neuroblastoma and/or confirmation oftumor cells in the bone marrow with increased urinary catecholamines.

5. Measurable residual disease based on imaging findings using Curie scoring or MIBG orPET imaging criteria (1: measurable tumor of at least 10 mm in one dimension on MRIor CT scan with positive uptake on I-123 MIBG scan ("MIBG avid") oOR 2): increasedFDG uptake on 18F-FDG PET-CT or PET-MRI ("PET avid")).

• Exclusion Criteria:

1. Insufficient bone marrow function: Platelet count > 50,000/µL, independent oftransfusion (no platelet transfusion within one week). Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) maximum of 500 per microliter. Hemoglobin > 10 grams per deciliter.

2. Insufficient liver function: Plasma bilirubin level more than 1.5 times the upperlimit of normal (ULN). SGPT (ALT) at least three times the upper limit of normal (alevel of 45 units per liter is considered the upper limit of normal).

3. Insufficient kidney function: Creatinine clearance or estimated radioisotope GFR < 70 ml/min/1.73m². Plasma creatinine level more than 1.5 times the upper limit ofnormal based on age/gender.

4. Insufficient central nervous system function if seizures are present, entry into thestudy is not possible and if seizures are not well controlled with anticonvulsantdrugs.

3- Insufficient cardiovascular function Shortening fraction < 27% by ECHO OR Ejection fraction < 50% by ECHO or gated radionuclide study.

4- Insufficient pulmonary function evidence of dyspnea at rest. Exercise intolerance. Chronic need for oxygen and room air pulse oximetry < 94% if pulse oximetry evaluation is clinically indicated. Presence of current pleural or pericardial effusion.

5- Inability to tolerate new treatment due to emergency conditions. 6- Elevated catecholamines (more than twice the ULN) or sole involvement of bone marrow (bone marrow positive for NB as the only evaluable disease without confirmatory pathology report).

7- Receiving 0.5 mg/kg/day of systemic steroids (equivalent to prednisone) for at least 7 days before enrollment.

8- Receiving CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors at least 7 days before study enrollment.

9- Diagnosis of any other malignancy alongside the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. 10- Diarrhea > Grade 2 (4 to 6 stools per day). 11- Significant illness not covered by exclusion criteria but interfering with the study process or increasing the intensity of treatment with NK cells.

12- Participation in another clinical trial. 13- Severe impairment of major organ functions, such as renal, cardiac, hepatic, neurological, pulmonary, or gastrointestinal toxicity above Grade 2 according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTC v5.0).

14- Inability to comply with protocol requirements. 15- Lack of confirmed and signed consent by the patient's guardians. 16- Evidence of HIV disease (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) or positive serology for HIV.
