Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- All newly diagnosed patients with suspected neuroblastoma, suspected
ganglioneuroblastoma, or suspected ganglioneuroma/maturing subtype seen at Children's
Oncology Group (COG) institutions are eligible for this study

- There will be no penalty under any circumstances for enrollment of a patient
whose definitive institutional diagnosis, or central review diagnosis, is found
to be a tumor other than neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, or ganglioneuroma/
maturing subtype

- Patients may not have received chemotherapy prior to enrollment on ANBL00B1 and
procurement of study-related tissues with the following exception:

- Patients that in the opinion of the treating physician are too ill to undergo
pre-treatment tissue biopsy and require EMERGENT chemotherapy may be enrolled on
ANBL00B1; documentation of the emergent nature of therapy initiation is required

- It is required that a good faith effort (documented by specimen tracking) be made to
submit a neuroblastoma sample (tumor, metastasis, and/or tumor-involved bone marrow)
of sufficient quality for MYCN analysis in the Neuroblastoma Reference Laboratory in
order for any newly diagnosed patient to be enrolled on ANBL00B1; this should be
obtained prior to initiation of therapy

- Exceptions

- In rare cases, patients may be deemed too ill to undergo pre-treatment tissue
biopsy and require EMERGENT therapy; the following eligibility guidelines apply
to these cases:

- For presumed INSS stage 4S patients: Efforts to submit tumor tissue (e.g.,
primary tumor, skin nodule, or metastatic site) within 96 hours of EMERGENT
therapy initiation should be made; however, if the child is deemed too
unstable for such a procedure they may still be enrolled as long as
pre-treatment peripheral blood and serum have been submitted

- For all other INSS stages: tumor tissue should be obtained as soon as
possible within 96 hours of EMERGENT therapy initiation; patients without
tumor tissues submitted within this time-frame are not eligible for
enrollment

- Note: it may not be possible to obtain all necessary tumor biomarkers
for therapy stratification in such cases; if a patient enrolled on
ANBL00B1 undergoes an additional diagnostic procedure within 96 hours
of initiating therapy, additional tumor specimens may be submitted to
obtain biomarkers used for risk classification; the decision to perform
such procedures, and/or submit these specimens, is to be made by the
managing clinicians and should reflect the clinical need to know the
status of such biomarkers

- Patients enrolled on ANBL1232 in Group A (either A1 or A2) will not have a
tumor biopsy or resection upfront; tumor tissue submission is therefore not
required for these patients to enroll on ANBL00B1; a peripheral blood and
serum sample is the only specimen required to be submitted for this group of
patients; should they undergo a biopsy or resection at a later date tumor
can be submitted for biomarker testing at this time

- All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed
consent

- All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and National Cancer Institute
(NCI) requirements for human studies must be met
Minimum age

Key exclusion criteria
