This phase 1 study will be conducted in 2 parts * In the first part, participants will, as part of standard of care procedure to remove cancerous tissue, undergo neuroblastoma cell collection from a portion of resected tumor. * Those cells will then be used to create the vaccine which will be stored for potential use during the second part of this research study. * In the second part, participants who did not respond to standard therapy will receive the GVAX vaccine along with nivolumab and ipilimumab. The study treatment will continue for up to 24 months and participants will be followed for 2 years after last study treatment (if received at least one vaccination).
