Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a new approach for children and young adults with relapsed or hard-to-treat neuroblastoma. Patients receive donor immune cells (NK cells) along with standard chemotherapy and an antibody therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or stop the cancer from growing. The study will enroll 62 participants.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

donor natural killer (NK) cells, temozolomide, irinotecan, dinutuximab, and sargramostim

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for children with neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 2 trial with only 62 participants, so results are preliminary. The treatment involves strong chemotherapy and immune cells, which can cause serious side effects like low blood counts and organ damage.
