Could less chemo be enough? new trial aims to treat High-Risk neuroblastoma with reduced therapy
NCT ID NCT06528496
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether a reduced chemotherapy regimen called N10 is safe and effective for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. The study will enroll 45 children under 19 years old who have not had more than one prior chemo cycle. The goal is to see if this lighter approach can still achieve a complete response while potentially causing fewer side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- N10 chemotherapy (naxitamab, sargramostim, cyclophosphamide, topotecan, vincristine)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a less intensive treatment option for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, potentially reducing side effects while maintaining effectiveness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The reduced therapy might be less effective or still cause significant side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of NB as defined by histopathology, BM metastases plus high urine catecholamine levels, or positivity in MIBG scan. * HR-NB, defined as MYCN-amplified stage L2/M/MS at any age and stage M in patients \>18 months old. * No more than one prior cycle of HR-NB chemotherapy * Age \<19 years. * Signed informed consent indicating awareness of the investigational nature of this treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe dysfunction of major organs, i.e., renal, cardiac, hepatic, neurologic, pulmonary, hematologic, or gastrointestinal toxicity \>/= to grade 3 °Organ dysfunction due to direct effects of primary tumor or metastatic disease, or due to paraneoplastic syndromes associated with neuroblastoma, will not be considered in exclusion criteria. Similarly, complications of interventions to control above direct effects (e.g., steroid- induced hyperglycemia or hypertension) will also not be considered in exclusion criteria * Inability to comply with protocol requirements * Pregnancy
