Neuroblastoma Biology Study

N2004-05: Neuroblastoma Biology Study


Sponsor

New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy Consortium

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Jul 1, 2011

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Medical scientists want to find better ways to treat neuroblastoma and to find ways to prevent the tumor from growing back. To do this, they need more information about the characteristics of neuroblastoma cells. Therefore, they want to study samples of neuroblastoma tissues and neuroblastoma and normal cells in the blood and bone marrow that may be related to the growth of neuroblastoma cells. Doctors and other medical scientists also want to find better ways to detect and measure neuroblastoma to improve the ability to follow the response of tumor cells to therapy.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting biological samples and data from children with high-risk neuroblastoma — an aggressive childhood cancer that typically starts in the adrenal glands or the nervous system — to help researchers understand the biology of the disease and develop better treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - Your child is more than 31 days old - Your child has been diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, either confirmed by a biopsy or by the presence of cancer cells in the bone marrow along with elevated levels of certain markers in the urine - Your child has relapsed or treatment-resistant high-risk neuroblastoma and is being treated at a participating institution **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your child is 31 days old or younger - The diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma has not been established - Your child is not being seen at one of the participating study sites Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
