Hope for kids with tough cancer: new combo trial launches

NCT ID NCT07261241

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests three different combinations of a radioactive drug (131I-MIBG) with other medicines (vorinostat and/or dinutuximab) in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. About 118 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment arms to see which combination shrinks tumors best. The goal is to find a more effective treatment for this hard-to-treat cancer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

131I-MIBG (radioactive drug) combined with vorinostat and/or dinutuximab

What this could lead to

If successful, this trial could identify a more effective combination therapy for relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma, potentially improving tumor response rates.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 2 trial with only 118 participants, so results are preliminary. The treatments involve significant side effects, including high-grade toxicities, and may not work for everyone.
