Summary
This expanded access program provides a radioactive drug called 131 I-MIBG to children aged 1 year and older with neuroblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments or has returned. The drug delivers radiation directly to cancer cells to kill them. The program also collects information on how well the treatment works and its side effects. Early results from a related study showed that combining MIBG with another drug called vorinostat led to a 75% response rate after two cycles.
