High-risk neuroblastoma stem cell treatment after initial response

Neuroblastoma

Treatments studied

Part of Cancer clinical trials.

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.

Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Phase
Phase 2
Enrollment
12 people
Ages
Up to 30 years
Study type
Interventional

Who can take part

  • You were younger than 30 when you were diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
  • After initial chemotherapy, your scans/bone marrow (disease evaluation) showed complete or partial response, or stable disease.
  • Your blood counts have recovered enough after the last chemotherapy phase to safely proceed to the next treatment.
  • You do not have an infection that is not under control right now.
  • You must be able to provide enough frozen stem cells from before the consolidation starts (with backup cells strongly encouraged).
  • Your heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys must meet minimum function checks, and you must have recovered from the side effects of the last chemotherapy cycle.

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.

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.

NCT06047535Not yet recruiting· Phase 4
Maintenance treatment to prevent neuroblastoma from returning

This trial tests combining two immune-boosting drugs (naxitamab and GM-CSF) with a vitamin-A derivative (isotretinoin) to keep high-risk neuroblastoma in remission after standard treatment. It aims to see if this maintenance treatment helps prevent the cancer from returning.

NCT06948994Not yet recruiting· Phase 1/Phase 2
Immune cell therapy with GD2 antibody for neuroblastoma

This trial tests a new treatment combining your child's own immune cells (NK cells) with an antibody that targets neuroblastoma cells. It is for children who have just finished standard treatment or whose cancer has come back or not responded, and aims to improve outcomes.

NCT06172296Recruiting· Phase 3
Dinutuximab plus transplant for high-risk neuroblastoma

This trial tests adding a targeted drug called dinutuximab to standard chemotherapy, surgery, and a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay in remission.
