Clinical Trials Tanya C. Watt is currently running
DFMO + Etoposide
for Neuroblastoma
This trial uses two drugs, DFMO and etoposide, to treat children whose neuroblastoma has come back or didn't respond to initial treatments. DFMO stops cancer cells from growing, and etoposide helps kill them. The study includes patients who are recovering after additional therapy, those who have had the disease return but are currently without symptoms, and those with active disease. DFMO has been evaluated as a follow-up treatment for severe neuroblastoma in previous studies.

Iobenguane (131-I) + Vorinostat
for Neuroblastoma
This trial tests a combination of a radioactive drug and a cancer-fighting pill in patients with a specific type of neuroblastoma that hasn't responded well to other treatments. The radioactive drug kills cancer cells, and the pill makes them more vulnerable to the drug.
