New vaccine combo aims to outsmart neuroblastoma relapse
NCT ID NCT06057948
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This Phase II trial tests a bivalent vaccine (with an immune booster) plus two different schedules of oral β-glucan in 94 people with high-risk neuroblastoma who are in complete remission. The goal is to see which schedule triggers stronger antibodies against the cancer, potentially keeping the disease from coming back. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two β-glucan schedules alongside the vaccine.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bivalent vaccine with OPT-821 (QS-21) adjuvant and oral β-glucan
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more effective maintenance therapy to keep high-risk neuroblastoma in remission and reduce relapse risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase II trial with only 94 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The vaccine aims to boost antibodies, but it's unclear if that translates to better long-term outcomes.
