NK cell therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or younger, any gender.
- Diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to treatment.
- Must have had previous treatments like surgery, chemo, and possibly radiation or stem cell transplant.
- General health and blood counts must be within certain limits (e.g., enough white blood cells, platelets, etc.).
- No major heart, lung, or bleeding problems, and no active infections or other cancers.

This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy using natural killer cells (immune cells that fight cancer) given after a stem cell transplant in children with leukemia or neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if these cells help prevent cancer from coming back and are safe for young patients.
This trial tests whether combining your child's own immune cells (NK cells) with a targeted antibody (GD2) can help treat high-risk neuroblastoma. It is for children who are in the maintenance phase, or whose cancer has returned or not responded to standard treatment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
