New hope for kids with resistant neuroblastoma: radioactive drug plus chemo shows promise
NCT ID NCT00509353
First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 05, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested a combination of a radioactive drug (131I-MIBG) and two chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan and vincristine) in 26 children with high-risk neuroblastoma that had come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal was to find the safest dose of the radioactive drug when given with the chemo, and to see if the combination could shrink tumors. The study focused on side effects and dosing, not on a cure, and children with this type of cancer typically need ongoing management.
