Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two drugs—naxitamab (an antibody) and GM-CSF (an immune booster)—in children and adults with high-risk neuroblastoma that has not responded well to previous treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can shrink or eliminate tumors in the bone and bone marrow. Participants receive treatment for up to 101 weeks and are followed for five years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Naxitamab (a lab-made antibody) and GM-CSF (a protein that boosts immune cells)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma that has not responded to standard therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial with 122 participants, so results are still preliminary. The treatment may cause side effects, and not all patients may respond.
