What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

LY3295668 erbumine (aurora kinase A inhibitor)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for children with neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial focused on safety, so it is too soon to know if the drug works. Side effects may be significant, and the drug may not shrink tumors in most participants.
