Phase N/A

Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that mostly affects children and starts in certain nerve tissues. This study aims to find better treatments and ways to stop the tumor from coming back. To achieve this, scientists will collect samples of neuroblastoma tissues, as well as blood and bone marrow cells, and store them in a bank. These samples will be studied to understand the characteristics of neuroblastoma cells better. The researchers will also gather clinical data, like treatment details and scans, to help with the laboratory studies. They will create cell lines from these samples, which are groups of cells that continue to grow in the lab. These will be shared with other researchers studying high-risk neuroblastoma.

Eligibility: To join the study, patients must be over 31 days old and have a diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma, which means the cancer is more severe. There are no exclusion criteria, meaning most eligible patients can participate.

  • Participants must undergo evaluations and provide samples.
  • No exclusion criteria mean broad eligibility.
  • Samples will help develop new treatments.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
