Adding Naxitamb to high-risk neuroblastoma treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of nerve cell cancer. It tests adding a new medicine called Naxitamb to standard induction therapy to see if it works better. High-risk means the cancer is advanced or has certain aggressive features.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be newly diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma.
- Your child must be between 1 and 21 years old.
- The cancer must be stage 4, or stage 3 with certain risk factors, or any stage with a specific genetic change called MYCN amplification.
- Your child must not have received live virus vaccines within 4 weeks of starting the trial.
- Your child must not be taking any other experimental drugs.
- Your child must not have any other serious medical condition that could interfere with the trial.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a targeted antibody called naxitamab (hu3F8) for children with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or is hard to treat. It aims to see if this therapy can help shrink or control the cancer with an acceptable safety profile.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a drug called naxitamab to standard early (frontline) treatment improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by helping the immune system better target the cancer during initial induction therapy.
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.
This trial tests giving a combination of naxitamab, irinotecan, and temozolomide for a longer period to people whose neuroblastoma has come back or hasn't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
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.
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.
