Abstract 3074 Children with high-risk NB often receive using multiple treatment modalities including autoHCT. Disease remains the most common cause of treatment failure and the most recent cooperative group studies report survival rates approaching 45%. Prior reports showed comparable outcomes of patients with NB receiving auto- and allo-transplants, despite differences in relapse risk and treatment-related mortality (TRM). To update these data the CIBMTR conducted a retrospective review of 143 transplants reported 1990–2007 at 61centers, the largest group reported to date. For this analysis, patients were categorized into 2 groups for comparison: those without (Group 1; n=97) and those with a prior auto HCT (Group 2; n=46). Of the patients in Group 1, 31% were in first remission, 25% in partial response (PR) or very good PR (VGPR), and 24% with no response or with persistent/progressive disease. Of the patients Group 2, 17% were in first remission, 26% in PR or VGPR, and 28% with no response or with persistent/progressive disease. Median ages at alloHCT were similar for Group 1 (5y, range
