Strategies to manage the adverse effects of immunotherapy with dinutuximab beta in neuroblastoma: an Italian experience and literature review.
Review in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePatients with high-risk neuroblastoma (HR NB) frequently present with metastases in the bone marrow and bone. Approximately 15% of these patients are refractory to induction therapy, and 50% relapse. Dinutuximab beta is an anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody approved in Europe for maintenance therapy of pediatric patients with HR NB. Immunotherapy with anti-GD2 antibodies improves the survival of children with HR NB and relapsed or refractory disease. It is associated with adverse events, such as pain, fever, allergic reactions, capillary leak syndrome, and diarrhea. This manuscript aims to propose a practical guide in support and prevention treatment of adverse events.
methodsMEDLINE was searched using the terms "GD2," "ch14.18/CHO," "anti-GD2 antibody," "dinutuximab beta," and "neuroblastoma." The experts reappraised available evidence discussing different clinical Italian experiences.
resultsNeuropathic pain is the main toxicity associated with dinutuximab beta and can be prevented with analgesics, including intravenous opioids and gabapentin by mouth. The intensity of the supportive treatment decreases from course to course.
conclusionIn the experience of the authors, adverse events associated with dinutuximab beta may be prevented and managed in experienced centers. The supportive therapy may be reduced after the first cycle to improve the quality of life.
