NCT ID NCT00085930
First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new approach for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a cancer that often returns. Researchers took the patients' own immune cells (T cells) and modified them to better recognize and attack the cancer, while also training them to last longer in the body. The main goal was to check safety and see how long the cells survive. 19 children participated, and the treatment is still experimental.
