Immunotherapy trial for relapsed neuroblastoma or osteosarcoma
This Phase 1 study tests lab-made donor immune cells (gamma delta T cells) plus chemotherapy to treat neuroblastoma or osteosarcoma that has come back or hasn’t responded to standard treatment. It’s designed to find a safe way to give this treatment and to see how well it might work.

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 - NCT07502287RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 1–21 - NCT04221035RecruitingPhase 3
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.

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+ - NCT06831552Recruiting
Supporting families of children with high-risk neuroblastoma
This study tests a resource intervention to help families with low income who have a child with high-risk neuroblastoma. It aims to reduce financial stress and improve care during treatment.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges Up to 17 years - NCT07318831RecruitingPhase 2
Combination drug therapy for relapsed neuroblastoma
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (chidamide, dinutuximab beta, irinotecan, and temozolomide) for children whose neuroblastoma has returned or isn't responding to standard treatment. It aims to see if this mix can shrink the tumor or stop it from growing.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT01587300Recruiting
Study of high-risk neuroblastoma biology using tumor and blood samples
This study looks at how high-risk neuroblastoma grows and behaves by collecting samples from your child and checking disease markers. It may help researchers understand what biology is driving the cancer and guide future treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1 month–99 years - NCT03126916RecruitingPhase 3
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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–30 years - NCT07635056RecruitingPhase 2
Natural killer cells for hard-to-treat neuroblastoma
This trial tests specially prepared immune cells (called CIML-NK cells) from a partially matched family donor to fight neuroblastoma that has returned or stopped responding to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these cells can help patients whose cancer is difficult to control.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuroblastoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 105 recruiting 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 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 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.
