Testing added therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding either a targeted drug (lorlatinib) or a radioactive treatment (131I-MIBG) to intensive chemotherapy improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by aiming at tumor cells more directly alongside standard treatment.

Trial for children with high-risk neuroblastoma testing next steps
This Phase 3 study tests treatment strategies for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, aiming to improve how well the cancer responds and how long patients can stay in control. It compares different intensities and add-ons at key treatment steps depending on your child’s response and health.
Sydney, RandwickAges Up to 21 years - NCT06057948RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine with beta-glucan for high-risk neuroblastoma

Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT06528496RecruitingPhase 2
Less chemo plus antibody therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This study tests whether giving fewer chemotherapy drugs along with other targeted therapies (monoclonal antibodies) works well for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It aims to reduce side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
New York, New YorkAges 1.5 years–19 years - NCT04903899RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium-DOTATATE for relapsed or hard-to-treat neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 2 trial tests a targeted radioactive medicine called 177Lutetium-DOTATATE in children with high-risk neuroblastoma that has returned or did not respond to treatment. It’s designed for tumors that show strong uptake on special scans, which may help the medicine find and treat cancer cells.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 1.5 years+ - NCT05135975RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib maintenance to help stop pediatric cancer from growing
This trial studies cabozantinib given after standard treatment to try to keep high-risk pediatric solid tumors from coming back or getting worse. It is offered to children and young adults whose cancer has not fully disappeared but is not progressing at the start of this maintenance phase.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1.5 years–40 years - NCT06071897RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy as a first treatment for children and young adults with high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
MoscowAges 1.5 years–18 years - NCT06631391RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This trial tests a new natural killer (NK) cell therapy from donated umbilical cord blood for children with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this immune cell therapy is safe and can help fight the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06803875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cells for relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial is testing a new type of immunotherapy called hALK.CAR T cells for children and young adults with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these specially engineered cells can find and destroy the cancer cells.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–29 - NCT06831552Recruiting
Supporting families of children with high-risk neuroblastoma

Chemoimmunotherapy with NK cells for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and natural killer (NK) cell therapy for children with high-risk neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma that has not responded to initial treatment or has come back after treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can help destroy cancer cells more effectively.

High-risk neuroblastoma stem cell treatment after initial response
This Phase 2 study tests intensive treatment (high-dose “consolidation”) followed by rescue with your own stem cells for high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help patients keep the cancer from coming back after it has improved or stabilized from initial chemotherapy.

Dual-target CAR-NK cell therapy for children with neuroblastoma
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-NK) that uses your child's own immune cells to attack two different markers on neuroblastoma tumors, called GD2 and B7-H3. It's for children with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or hasn't responded to standard treatments.

This trial studies whether nivolumab (an immune therapy) plus entinostat (an epigenetic medicine) can help children and teens with high-risk cancers that have come back, worsened, or did not respond to prior treatment. It also looks at specific tumor “biomarkers” to group patients and guide how the study is run.
Randwick, New South WalesAges 2–21 - NCT05238792RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cells to treat high-risk solid tumors in children

Immune cell therapy for high-risk solid tumors in children and young adults
This trial uses a patient's own tumor-fighting immune cells (TILs) to treat high-risk solid tumors outside the brain in children and young adults. It has two parts: first, a tumor sample is collected during surgery, and then the immune cells are grown in a lab and given back to the patient to attack the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high-risk neuroblastoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 22 recruiting high-risk neuroblastoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a high-risk neuroblastoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a high-risk neuroblastoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
