About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the investigational oral drug AMXT 1501 in combination with oral eflornithine (DFMO). An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food \& Drug Administration (FDA), or any other regulatory authorities around the world for use alone or in combination with any drug, for the condition or illness it is being used to treat.

The goals of this part of the study are:

* Establish a recommended dose of AMXT 1501 in combination with DFMO * Test the safety and tolerability of AMXT 1501 in combination with DFMO * To determine the activity of study treatments chosen based on: * How each subject responds to the study treatment * How long a subject lives without their disease returning/progressing

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Safety Run-in (Dose level 1)-The first three (3) participants enrolled will be ≥ 12 years of age at enrollment. Once evaluated for safety by DSMB, we will move on to the next three (3) participants enrolled who will be ≥6 years of age at enrollment. Once evaluated for safety by DSMB, we will move on to the Phase I.

Phase I and II: ≤ 26 years of age at diagnosis.

Pathology

Relapsed/refractory Neuroblastoma (NB)

Disqualifiers

BSA of <0.25 m2

Investigational Drugs: Participants who are currently receiving another investigational drug are excluded from participation.

Anti-cancer Agents: Participants who are currently receiving other anticancer agents are not eligible. Participants must have fully recovered from the hematological and bone marrow suppression effects of prior chemotherapy.

Infection: Participants who have an uncontrolled infection are not eligible until the infection is judged to be well controlled in the opinion of the investigator.
