Antibody-Chemo cocktail targets tough childhood cancer

NCT ID NCT03189706

First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding an experimental antibody called Hu3F8 to a standard chemotherapy regimen (irinotecan and temozolomide) plus a immune-boosting drug (GM-CSF) is safe and effective for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. The trial enrolls patients whose neuroblastoma is defined as high-risk based on stage and genetic features. Researchers will monitor side effects and measure how well the tumor responds over four cycles of treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Hu3F8 (antibody), irinotecan, temozolomide, and GM-CSF
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, potentially improving response rates.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination may cause significant side effects, and it is not a cure.
