GM-CSF, G-CSF or no cytokine therapy with anti-GD2 immunotherapy for high-risk neuroblastoma. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
This comprehensive review summarizes clinical data regarding efficacy and safety of GM-CSF, recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or no cytokine in combination with anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies (ie, dinutuximab, dinutuximab beta or naxitamab) for immunotherapy of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma...Suboptimal efficacy outcomes with G-CSF raise concerns about its suitability as an alternative to GM-CSF as an adjuvant in immunotherapy for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. While programs exist to facilitate obtaining GM-CSF and anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies in regions where they are not commercially available, continued work is needed to ensure equitable therapeutic options are available globally.

Early Salvage Chemo-Immunotherapy with Irinotecan, Temozolomide and Naxitamab Plus GM-CSF (HITS) for Patients with Primary Refractory High-Risk Neuroblastoma Provide the Best Chance for Long-Term Outcomes. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
We investigated the combination of humanized anti-GD2 mAb naxitamab (Hu3F8), irinotecan (I), temozolomide (T), and sargramostim (GM-CSF)-HITS-against primary resistant HR-NB. Cohort 1 had a 3-year OS of 84.8% and EFS 54.4%, which are statistically significant improvements (EFS p = 0.0041 and OS p = 0.0037) compared to cohort 2. In conclusion, naxitamab-based chemo-immunotherapy is effective against primary chemo-resistant HR-NB, increasing long-term outcomes when administered early during the course of treatment.

Novel infusion strategy reduces severe adverse events caused by the anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody naxitamab. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Mean serum naxitamab levels pre- and post-STU (11.46 µg/ml pre-infusion; 100.95 µg/ml post-infusion) were within the range reported for SIR. The comparable pharmacokinetics of naxitamab during SIR and STU may indicate that switching to STU reduces G3 AEs without impact on efficacy.

Safety and efficacy of naxitamab plus modified dosing of GM-CSF for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) in first complete remission (CR) or with primary refractory disease. (ASCO 2023)
Patients did not receive isotretinoin. This large experience confirms that the new schedule is safe and, despite short follow-up, appears as effective as the prior schedule.

REAL-WORLD DATA FROM ADVERSE EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH NAXITAMAB TREATMENT IN THE UNITED STATES (US) (ASPHO 2023)
At time of approval, the safety of naxitamab per the USPI was evaluated across 97 patients from two open-label, single arm studies (Trials 201 and 12-230). Two years after approval, with more patients receiving naxitamab in the real-world clinical setting, SAERs indicate the safety profile for naxitamab remains consistent with adverse reactions reported in the clinical trials.

REDUCTION IN BONE METASTASES AND CURIE SCORE IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH NAXITAMAB IN TRIAL 201 (ASPHO 2023)
Evaluation of patients with R/R HR-NB in bone treated with naxitamab+GM-CSF showed a similar ORR regardless of baseline CS (≤2 or ≥3). In patients with evaluable bone disease, naxitamab provided clinically meaningful response rates in the bone compartment and reduction in CS with an acceptable safety profile. Naxitamab+GM-CSF is an attractive therapeutic option for patients with R/R HR-NB in bone.  This study was funded by Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc.

Correlation between ARID1B gene mutation (p.A460, p.V215G) and prognosis of high-risk refractory neuroblastoma. (PubMed, Cell Biol Int)
Case 3 achieved CR after chemotherapy, surgery, metaiodobenzylguanidine, and 3F-8 (Naxitamab) immunotherapy after the initial diagnosis...ARID1B is a component protein of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex that participates in the occurrence of a variety of tumors by regulating DNA repair and synthesis. ARID1B nucleic acid mutation (p.A460, p.V215G) in the promoter region of three children may contribute to the poor prognosis of NB children.

ASSESSING PREDICTIVE VALUE OF RNA-SEQ OF B4GALNT1 AND ST8SIA1 AS BIOMARKERS OF GD2 EXPRESSION IN PEDIATRIC SARCOMAS (CTOS 2022)
Objective: GD2 is a tumor-associated ganglioside that is highly expressed in neuroblastoma and is targeted by two FDA-approved agents, dinutuximab and naxitamab. RNA expression of B4GALNT1 seemed to correlate and cluster better with known levels of GD2 expression than ST8SIA1 in neuroblastoma patients who historically have very high levels of GD2 expression via IHC. In sarcomas, MPNSTs had expression levels higher than that of even osteosarcoma which has been the center of clinical trials in sarcomas for GD2-targeted therapy. Given the response of bone disease with dinutuximab and naxitinib in pediatric patients with neuroblastoma, it suggests potential utility of treatment in sarcomas outside of neuroblastoma.

How we approach the treatment of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma with naxitamab: experience from the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu in Barcelona, Spain. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
The team at Sant Joan de Déu Children's Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, have been using naxitamab to treat neuroblastoma under clinical trial protocols [e.g. Trial 201, and hu3F8, irinotecan, temozolomide, and sargramostim (GM-CSF) (HITS) study] and compassionate use since 2017. Adverse event management, including the use of ketamine to manage pain during anti-GD2 mAb infusions, is also discussed. We hope this will provide practical information for other health care providers considering offering this treatment.

Naxitamab and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma with primary refractory disease or in first relapse: An international, single-arm, multicenter phase 2 trial. (ASCO 2022)
Key exclusion criteria include prior treatment with duration ≤3 wks (chemotherapy), ≤6wks (autologous stem cell transplant or therapeutic 131I-MIBG), ≤4wks (radiation therapy), or progressed while on anti-GD2; residual NB in the bone marrow only; and CNS/leptomeningeal disease in the prior 6 mo. Response rates will be assessed using the 2-sided binomial test at the 5% significance level; DoR, PFS, and OS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Adverse events will be graded per CTCAE.

Naxitamab: a humanized anti-glycolipid disialoganglioside (anti-GD2) monoclonal antibody for treatment of neuroblastoma. (PubMed, Drugs Today (Barc))
Initial outcomes with naxitamab are encouraging; however, future trials to maximize drug tolerance and elucidate its optimal role in neuroblastoma therapy in conjunction with other treatment strategies are needed. This review discusses the use of naxitamab in combination with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for the treatment of r/r HR NBL.

Naxitamab provided a clinically meaningful response in patients with R/R HR NB with bone/BM disease, regardless of disease status and compartment. The safety profile was manageable in the outpatient setting. Considering current treatment options and unmet medical need, naxitamab presents a unique treatment option for these patients.
