Pediatric Precision Therapy for Neuroblastoma

This study is for children and young adults up to 22 years old with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma (a type of cancer that forms in nerve tissue). It aims to see if using specific drugs based on a patient's tumor characteristics, combined with standard treatments, is safe and effective. You would receive one of four drugs – Ceritinib, dasatinib, sorafenib, or vorinostat – chosen based on molecular tests. This is followed by other treatments, including immunotherapy and DFMO, with DFMO continuing for two years as maintenance. Researchers will track how long it takes for the cancer to return, how many patients receive a targeted drug, and how well patients stick to the medication schedule.

Study design
This is an open-label, multi-center study with a planned enrollment of 500 participants. It combines a feasibility study with a randomized controlled trial.
What's involved

Follow-up
Participants will be followed for up to 8 years to track the time to first relapse.

  • Number of days from start of therapy to date of first relapseUp to 8 years

    To measure the response of treatments chosen based on: • Event free survival (EFS)

  • Number of subjects that have a targeted agent chosen for treatment.2 years

    At completion of the induction therapy, the investigators will determine feasibility of adding molecularly guided targeted therapy to standard of care chemotherapy. Feasibility will be defined as: 1. Subject has a targeted agent identified 2. Receives 75% of dosing of medications while on study protocol during cycles 3-6 3. Subject is not removed from study due to targeted agent drug related toxicity.

  • Number of subjects that receive 75% of dosing of medications while on study protocol during cycles 3-6.2 years
