Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for this trial: 1. Symptomatic brain metastases (patients whose brain metastases have been treated and whose symptoms have been stable for more than two months prior to enrollment may be enrolled, but must be confirmed by cranial MRI, CT, or venography as having no symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage); 2. Suffering from the following cardiovascular diseases: grade II or higher myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, poorly controlled arrhythmias (including QTc interval ≥450 ms for males and ≥470 ms for females); according to the NYHA standard (Appendix Three), class III-IV heart failure, or echocardiography indicating left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%; 3.

Arterial/venous thromboembolic events occurring within 12 months before enrollment, such as cerebrovascular accidents (including transient ischemic attacks, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism; 6. Known hereditary or acquired bleeding and thrombosis tendencies (such as hemophilia patients, coagulation disorders, thrombocytopenia, splenomegaly, etc.); 7. Long-term unhealed wounds or fractures (except pathological fractures caused by tumors); 8. Receiving major surgery or experiencing severe traumatic injuries, fractures, or ulcers within 4 weeks before enrollment; 9. Factors significantly affecting the absorption of oral medications, such as inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea, and intestinal obstruction; 10. Experiencing abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or abdominal abscess within 6 months before enrollment; 11. Routine urine tests showing proteinuria ≥ +, and confirmed 24-hour urine protein quantification ≥1.0 g; 12. Symptomatic serosal effusions requiring symptomatic treatment (including pleural effusion, ascites, pericardial effusion); Note: Asymptomatic serosal effusions can be enrolled, symptomatic serosal effusions after active symptomatic treatment (anticancer drugs cannot be used for treating serosal effusions), judged by the investigator to meet the enrollment criteria can be enrolled; 13. Active infections requiring antimicrobial treatment (e.g., needing antibacterial drugs, antiviral drugs, excluding chronic hepatitis B antiviral treatment, antifungal drug treatment); 14. History of psychoactive substance abuse that cannot be quit or has mental disorders; 15. Participated in other antitumor drug clinical trials within 4 weeks before enrollment; 16. Receiving systemic hormone therapy or undergoing any form of immunosuppressive therapy within 2 weeks before the first administration; 17. In the past 2 years, suffered from active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment (such as using disease-modifying drugs, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants); Note: Substitutive treatments (such as thyroxine, insulin, or physiological corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) do not count as systemic treatment; 18. Contraindications for IL-2 use; 19. Suffering from active infections requiring intravenous systemic treatment; 20. Vaccinated with live vaccines within one month before the first use of the study drug, seasonal influenza vaccination with inactivated virus vaccines is allowed, but intranasal attenuated live influenza vaccines are not allowed; 21.

HIV positive. 24. Undergone allogeneic tissue/organ transplantation; 25. Poor compliance, unable to cooperate with the clinical study.

To improve the prognosis of high-risk, Recurrent/Refractory neuroblastoma, we conducted a prospective Phase I clinical trial. Patients with high-risk and Recurrent/Refractory neuroblastoma who had undergone multidisciplinary treatment received umbilical cord blood NK cell infusions. The safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood NK cells were evaluated.

Arms

Experimental: Treatment with umbilical cord blood NK cells

All subjects will receive Ex vivo Expanded and activated umbilical cord blood NK cells infusion.

Interventions

Biological: - umbilical cord blood NK cells

This is a phase I prospective clinical trial, including phase Ia and phase Ib. Phase Ia include 3 dose levels, utilizing a 3+3 design principle, and each dose level will enroll at least 3 subjects. The recommended dose for phase Ia was used in phase Ib. Each patient receives two courses of umbilical cord blood NK cell therapy (a total of 8 infusions of umbilical cord blood NK cells).
