Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - irinotecan hydrochloride
Treatment: Drugs - temozolomide

Experimental: Disease measurable by CT or MRI scan (Irinotecan/Temozolomide) - Measurable by CT scan (Computed Tomography) or MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV (10 mg/m2/dose) over 1 hour on days 1-5 and 8-12 and oral temozolomide (100 mg/m2/dose) on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Experimental: Disease eval by bone marrow or MIBG (Irinotecan/Temozolomide) - Evaluation by bone marrow or MIBG scan (metaiodobenzylguanidine scan, a radiopharmaceutical). Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV (10 mg/m2/dose) over 1 hour on days 1-5 and 8-12 and oral temozolomide (100 mg/m2/dose) on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and temozolomide, work in different
ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from
dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with
temozolomide works in treating young patients with recurrent neuroblastoma.
