Precision medicine trial maps genetic clues in hard-to-treat childhood cancer
NCT ID NCT02868268
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at tumor samples from children and young adults (ages 1 to 30) with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to find specific genetic changes and immune system markers that could guide future treatments. No new therapy is given; instead, researchers analyze tissue from biopsies or past surgeries to better understand the disease.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must be ≥ 1 year and ≤ 30 years of age at study registration * Patients must have had a diagnosis of neuroblastoma either by histological verification of neuroblastoma and/or demonstration of tumor cells in the bone marrow with increased urinary catecholamines. * Patients must have a history of high-risk neuroblastoma according to * COG risk classification at the time of study registration. Patients must have at least one of the following: Recurrent/progressive disease, Refractory disease, Persistent disease * Patient must be willing to undergo a clinically indicated biopsy and meet at least one of the following requirements: Bone biopsy, Soft tissue biopsy, Bone marrow biopsy and aspirate * Patients must not be receiving any other anti-cancer agents or radiotherapy during the interval Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with disease of any major organ system that would compromise their ability to withstand biopsy procedures of soft tissue, bone and/or bone marrow. * Patients who enroll and successfully receive a NANT Precision Report may not re-enroll at a future time. * Patient declines participation in NANT 2004-05, the NANT Biology Study.
