Study Summary
This trial is studying MIBG therapy and chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of cancer. Eligible patients are those newly diagnosed with specific stages of the disease, have certain genetic features like MYCN amplification, and meet age requirements. They should not have had much prior treatment except possibly one round of chemotherapy or emergency radiation. Kidney function tests and heart function must be within acceptable ranges.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests induction therapy including iobenguane I-131 (a radioactive drug) plus various chemotherapies followed by stem cell transplant and maintenance therapy with isotretinoin. The goal is to see if this combination can better kill tumor cells in these young patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include damage to kidney or liver functions due to radioisotope therapy; heart problems; blood disorders from chemotherapy; risk of infection after stem cell transplant; and skin dryness or other issues related to isotretinoin.
