6. Patients who are on hemodialysis.
7. Patients who require or are likely to require pharmacologic doses of systemic corticosteroids while receiving treatment on this study except to manage allergic reactions
8. Patients on any other immunosuppressive medications
9. Patients who have received enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants including phenytoin, phenobarbital, or carbamazepine for at least 7 days prior to study enrollment.
10. Patients who have been diagnosed with any malignancy other than neuroblastoma.
11. Patients with symptoms of congestive heart failure.

1. 14 days from prior systemic myelosuppressive chemotherapy.
2. 7 days from prior systemic biologic antineoplastic agents (e.g. anti-cancer agents not known to be myelosuppressive - not associated with reduced platelet or ANC counts).
3. 14 days from systemic steroids.
4. ≥12 weeks from large field radiation therapy (i.e., total body irradiation, whole abdominal, total lung, ≥50% pelvis).

In the sponsor’s own words, from the registry.
Neuroblastoma is the most common type of solid cancer found outside the brain in young children. Generally, it affects children younger than 5 years old, with the average age when it is found being just 2 years. Most patients have 'high-risk' disease, with spread of the disease to different sites (metastases). This multinational study aims to find out how effective and safe the treatment of a monoclonal anti-GD2 antibody hu14.18K322A (daretabart) is when used together with chemotherapy to treat children and young people who have high-risk neuroblastoma.
