OBJECTIVES: * Determine the efficacy of beta-glucan, isotretinoin, and sargramostim (GM-CSF) in enhancing monoclonal antibody 3F8-mediated ablation in patients with high-risk refractory neuroblastoma. * Determine the antitumor activity of this regimen, in terms of assessing disease status in the bone marrow by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, in these patients. * Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: This is an open-label study. Patients are stratified according to refractory disease (primary refractory \[never had disease progression or disease recurrence\] vs secondary refractory \[recurrent disease that did not respond completely to reinduction therapy\]). * Courses 1 and 2: Patients receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously once daily on days -5 to 11. Patients also receive oral beta-glucan once daily on days -2 to 11 and monoclonal antibody (MOAB) 3F8 IV over 30-90 minutes on days 0-4 and 7-11. * Courses 3 and 4: Patients receive GM-CSF, beta-glucan, and MOAB 3F8 as above. Patients also receive oral isotretinoin twice daily on days -2 to 11. Treatment repeats every 2-4 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 27-74 patients (10-33 for stratum 1 and 17-41 for stratum 2) will be accrued for this study.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

74 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.
