PIVIE rates are one of the patient quality outcomes and are increasing in the NICU. Considering the increased risks of long-term consequences from tissue injury associated with PIVs, MCD may improve quality and patient outcomes.

Administration Of Naxitamab In High-Risk Neuroblastoma Patients To Manage Adverse Reactions, Lauren Brown, Nikki Marshall, Diamond Wright

2024

INNOVATION

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children with approximately 700 cases diagnosed yearly.

Integrating anti-disialoganglioside-2 (GD2) monoclonal antibodies like Naxitimab have significantly improved patient outcomes. However, there is no standardized process between pediatric institutions to administer the drug while managing adverse drug reactions. Naxitimab received accelerated approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for children over age one with relapsed/refractory high-risk Neuroblastoma. Approximately half of the patients receiving Naxitimab encountered acute adverse events (AEs). Different institutions manage …
