Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of NB as defined by international criteria,.e., histopathology (confirmed by the MSKCC Department of Pathology) or bone marrow metastases plus high urine catecholamine levels. * High-risk NB as defined by risk-related treatment guidelines1 and the International NB Staging System, i.e., stage 4 with (any age) or without (\>365 days of age) MYCN amplification, MYCN-amplified stage 3 (unresectable; any age), or MYCN-amplified stage 4S. * Patients must have a history of tumor progression or persistent disease or failure to achieve complete response following standard therapy. * Patients must have evaluable (microscopic marrow metastasis, elevated tumor markers, positive MIBG or PET scans) or measurable (CT, MRI) disease documented after completion of prior systemic therapy. * Disease staging approximately within one month of treatment * Prior treatment with murine and hu3F8 is allowed. Patients with prior m3F8, hu3F8, ch14.18 or hu14.18 treatment must have a negative HAHA antibody titer. Human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) positivity is allowed. * Eligible NK donor * Children and adults are eligible * Signed informed consent indicating awareness of the investigational nature of this program. Donor Inclusion Criteria * Donor is blood-related and HLA-haploidentical to the recipient. * Donor has undergone serologic testing for transmissible diseases as per blood banking guidelines for organ and tissue donors.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
