Summary

This trial is testing two different imaging strategies to see which is more effective in diagnosing and treating neuroblastoma in children.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults up to 21 years old with new or recurring neuroblastoma. Participants must be able to give consent in French or English, have a planned 123I-MIBG imaging, and not currently be under treatment or part of another randomized control trial.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of a radiopharmaceutical called 68Ga-DOTATATE in detecting neuroblastoma compared to the current standard, which uses 123I-MIBG imaging. It aims to see if this new method can provide clearer results.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions related to somatostatin analogues (the drug family that includes 68Ga-DOTATATE). The exact side effects are being studied as part of this trial.
