Autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (aHCT) has a significant survival advantage in patients with high-risk (HR) neuroblastoma. Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a serious complication and may result in chronic renal disease leading to delay in subsequent posttransplant therapy and limitations of treatment options. Dinutuximab represents an important therapeutic advance in the treatment of pediatric HR neuroblastoma, but historically has not been administered in patients with GFR < 60 mL/m2 /min. Here, we present the safe outcome of dinutuximab administration while on renal replacement therapy in two cases of HR neuroblastoma with end-stage renal disease secondary to TA-TMA.
