A Study Using Molecular Guided Therapy With Induction Chemotherapy Followed by a Randomized Controlled Trial of Standard Immunotherapy With or Without DFMO Followed by DFMO Maintenance for Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma

What is this study?

This study is testing new ways to treat newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that starts in early nerve cells. Doctors want to see if adding targeted medicines and a drug called DFMO to standard treatment can help beat the cancer and keep it from returning.

Who can participate?

This study is mainly for young patients with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. Certain infants and patients with less aggressive tumor features, as well as those with other serious medical conditions or currently taking other experimental drugs, cannot join.

What will happen?

Participants will receive a combination of standard treatments along with carefully chosen targeted cancer drugs and DFMO. Doctors will closely monitor their health and side effects throughout the treatment process.

Where and when?

This study is currently recruiting patients at various medical centers, including locations in Alabama, Arkansas, and California. You can talk to your care team to see if a participating location is right for your family.

Key Points
  • 1Tests advanced treatments for high-risk neuroblastoma in children.
  • 2Uses targeted cancer therapies and DFMO alongside standard care.
  • 3Currently active and recruiting patients at multiple medical centers.
