New immunotherapy combo aims to keep deadly childhood cancer from returning

NCT ID NCT03033303

Summary

This study tested whether a combination of immunotherapy drugs (Hu3F8 and GM-CSF) plus a vitamin A-like drug (isotretinoin) could help prevent cancer from coming back in children with high-risk neuroblastoma who had achieved their first remission. The trial involved 59 patients who had already responded well to initial treatment. Researchers wanted to see if this maintenance therapy could extend the time patients remained cancer-free.
