CONCLUSIONS
Moderate quality evidence suggests that dinutuximab use in combination with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin 2 and 13-cis-retinoic acid could prolong overall survival and event-free survival in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma showing partial response to induction therapy and who receive stem-cell transplant. The most commonly reported adverse events were neuropathic pain, capillary escape syndrome and fever.
The clinical practice guideline identified considers dinutuximab use for postconsolidation therapy, although it mentions that because of its high cost it is not very affordable. The coverage policy identified from a United States health sponsor covers it as postconsolidation therapy.
In Argentina, this technology has not been approved so far and no cost-effectiveness studies assessing it have been identified.
