Conditions

Summary

Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) will be used in an open label, single agent, multicenter, study for patients with neuroblastoma in remission. In this study subjects will receive 730 Days of oral difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) at a dose of 750 mg/m2 ± 250 mg/m2 BID (strata 1, 2, 3, and 4) OR 2500 mg/m2 BID (stratum 1B) on each day of study.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing maintenance therapy for neuroblastoma (a cancer that commonly affects young children, often starting in the adrenal glands or abdomen) after initial treatment, to help prevent the cancer from coming back. **You may be eligible if...** - Your child has been diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma - Your child has completed initial treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, and/or stem cell transplant) and the cancer is in remission or stable - Your child meets the age requirements of the study - Your child is in adequate health to receive maintenance therapy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - The cancer is still actively progressing - Your child has severe organ problems that make maintenance therapy unsafe - Your child has already received the specific maintenance drugs being studied - Genetic or tumor features of the cancer make your child ineligible per protocol Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
