Popular Trials
Cancer Vaccine
Combination Vaccine for Neuroblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment for high-risk neuroblastoma using two types of cancer cell vaccines. One vaccine is modified to release proteins that boost the immune system. The goal is to help the body fight cancer more effectively.

Trials for NBL Patients
Proton Beam Therapy
Proton Radiation Therapy for Neuroblastoma
This trial is looking at proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) as a possible treatment for neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a cancer that most commonly occurs in and around the adrenal glands, but can also occur in other areas where groups of nerve cells exist. Standard radiation therapy with photons is used as standard treatment for many patients with neuroblastic tumors, but proton radiation is known to spare surrounding tissues and organs from unnecessary radiation. The trial will assess the effectiveness of PBRT in reducing side effects associated with radiation treatment and the late side effects experienced by participants.
Anti-metabolites

This trial uses a mix of two pills and two IV medicines to treat tumors. It focuses on finding the safest dose and understanding side effects. The treatment works by reducing growth signals, lowering inflammation, and killing cancer cells.
CAR T-cell Therapy
CAR T-Cell Therapy for Neuroblastoma
This trial involves treating patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma using specially modified immune cells that can better recognize and attack their cancer. These modified cells are supported by chemotherapy and an additional drug to help them work more effectively. The goal is to see if this approach can safely extend the time these cells stay active in the body and improve their ability to fight cancer.
Cancer Vaccine
Tumor Cell Vaccine + Cytoxan for Neuroblastoma
This trial is testing an experimental treatment for neuroblastoma, which is a solid tumor that is the second most common cancer in children. The treatment consists of a series of immunizations using a tumor vaccine, combined with low-dose chemotherapy taken by mouth on a daily basis. The hope is that the vaccine will cause the immune system to recognize and kill more types of neuroblastoma tumors. Additionally, the immunizations will be combined with daily low dose chemotherapy.
Trials for Cancer Patients
Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy
Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy for Neuroblastoma
This trial is testing a new treatment called 67Cu-SARTATE for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. The treatment uses radiation to target and kill cancer cells. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for these patients.

The study focuses on patients with tumors to see how well this protein works in attacking cancer cells.
Trials for MYC Positive Patients
Cancer Vaccine
Vaccine + Immunological Adjuvant for Neuroblastoma
This trial is testing a bivalent vaccine that has two antigens, GD2L and GD3L. The goal is to see if the patient's immune system can make antibodies against the two antigens, which would then attach to neuroblastoma cells and kill them.
