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.

- 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 nk cell 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.
