intervention Model Description

Phase 1 portion: The palbociclib plus irinotecan and temozolomide combination part of the study will comprise of a dose escalation cohort (following a rolling 6 design), a dose expansion cohort. The palbociclib plus topotecan and cyclophosphamide will comprise of a dose determination cohort(following a modified rolling 6 design), a dose expansion cohort, and Neuroblastoma tumor -specific cohort. Phase 2 open-label, randomized portion of the study will randomize patients in a 2:1 ratio to receive either palbociclib in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide (Arm A) or irinotecan and temozolomide chemotherapy alone (Arm B). Randomization will be stratified using block randomization by type and time of current disease recurrence (primary refractory or 1st recurrence \< 2 years versus 1st recurrence ≥ 2 years or 2nd or greater recurrence).
