Summary
This early-phase study tested an intravenous form of the drug fenretinide in 17 children whose neuroblastoma had returned or resisted standard treatments. The main goals were to find the safest dose and understand side effects. Researchers also looked for signs that the drug might shrink tumors, but this was a small safety-focused trial, not a test for a cure.
