This is a pilot clinical trial investigating the addition of haploidentical natural killer cell infusion to autologous stem cell transplantation. This intervention will be evaluated in children with high-risk solid tumors for whom autologous transplantation is indicated. Natural killer cells from a haploidentical family member will be given after high dose chemotherapy and positively selected autologous stem cells. In patients with neuroblastoma, the anti-GD2 antibody hu14.18K322A will also be given. The effect on normal hematopoietic cell recovery will be evaluated and survival of children treated with this approach will be determined.
The investigators expect to enroll 36 participants. Haploidentical family members (donors) will also be recruited to provide natural killer cells.

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
The transplant recipient will be evaluated for eligibility at two time points during study participation. The first phase will be when the autologous stem cell product is collected. The recipient will later need to meet specific eligibility criterion at the time of the autologous stem cell infusion. The two phases and the respective criteria are described below.
Inclusion criteria
for autologous stem cell collection (Phase 1 - transplant recipient):
Inclusion criteria
to proceed with autologous stem cell transplantation (Phase 2 - transplant recipient):
Inclusion criteria
for haploidentical NK cell donor:
Hematopoietic stem cells will be collected from children with high-risk solid tumors. After collection, they will be immuno-magnetically selected using CD133 as a marker in efforts to reduce tumor cell contamination in the stem cell graft. After high dose chemotherapy, those selected stem cells will be infused, followed shortly thereafter by an infusion of haploidentical natural killer cells.
Other names: Natural killer (NK) cell infusion
Following infusion of haploidentical natural killer cells, interleukin-2 (IL-2) subcutaneously (SQ) will be given to support the in vivo survival of donor NK cells.
Other names: Interleukin-2, Aldesleukin, Proleukin(R)
Participants with neuroblastoma (Group A) will receive hu14.18K322A intravenously (IV).
Other names: anti-GD2 antibody, Hu14.18K322MAB
Given IV - Group A only.
Other names: Busulfex(R), Myleran(R)
Given IV - All groups.
Other names: L-phenylalanine mustard, Phenylalanine mustard, L-PAM, L-sarcolysin
Given SQ - All groups.
Other names: Sargramostim, Leukine(R)
Given IV - Group B only.
Other names: Treanda®, Bendamustine hydrochloride
Given IV - Group B and Group C. In case of etoposide reactions, etoposide phosphate will be given.
Other names: VP-16, Vepesid(R)
Given IV - Group B only.
Other names: ARA-C
Given IV - Group C only.
Other names: Inorganic heavy metal coordination complex
NK cell product will be collected from donors using leukapheresis procedures. The autologous hematopoietic stem cell graft product will be positively selected using the investigational CliniMACS device and CD133 Microbead reagent. Following standard laboratory procedures, the NK cell product will be enumerated and assessed for viable cell content. NK cells will be infused by slow IV push over 3 to 15 minutes immediately after processing, evaluation and release testing.
Other names: NK cell infusion
Given SQ - All Groups.
Other names: Filgrastim, Neupogen(R)
In case of etoposide reactions, etoposide phosphate will be given IV. - Group B and Group C only.
Other names: Etopophos(R)
The mechanism of action of the CliniMACS Cell Selection System is based on magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS). The CliniMACS device is a powerful tool for the isolation of many cell types from heterogeneous cell mixtures, (e.g. apheresis products). These can then be separated in a magnetic field using an immunomagnetic label specific for the cell type of interest, such as CD3+ human T cells.
Other names: Cell Selection System
Time frame: Day 35 post transplant
Feasibility will be determined based on ANC engraftment defined as ANC ≥500/mm^3 for 3 consecutive tests performed on different days evaluated before day 35 post-transplant. If the study is considered feasible, the ANC engraftment rate will be 100% (95% Blyth-Still-Casella (BSC) CI: 76.45%-100%) without any failure, 92% (BSC 95% CI: 65.11%-99.57%) with 1 failure, and 83% (BSC 95% CI: 55%-96.95%) with 2 failures. In addition, if more than 2 (≥ 3) on-therapy patients die due to any protocol treatment-related causes during the first 12 months post-transplant across all groups (3 deaths among 36 participants), the study will be stopped. Deaths due to treatment not specified in this protocol will not be included in evaluation of this stopping rule.
Time frame: Up to one year after transplantation
Overall survival is defined based on any death. The Kaplan-Meier Estimate will be provided.
Time frame: Up to one year after transplantation
Disease-free survival is defined based on any death, graft failure, or relapsed/resistant disease. The Kaplan-Meier Estimate will be provided.
Time frame: Up to one year after transplantation
Cumulative incidence of relapse will be estimated using Kalbfleisch-Prentice method. Death is the competing risk event.
Time frame: Up to one year after transplantation
The hematopoietic cell recovery and engraftment rates will be reported with a Blyth-Still-Casella 95% confidence interval.
Time frame: Up to one year after transplantation
Results will be reported and presented descriptively.
Time frame: Up to one year after transplantation
Results will be reported and presented descriptively.
Time frame: Up to one year after transplantation
The Kaplan-Meier estimate will be provided for overall survival analysis.
