Are there clinical trials for refractory neuroblastoma? 

Yes, there are clinical trials for children with refractory neuroblastoma. Clinical trials are research studies that test new treatments to see if they are safe and effective. These trials are regularly updated, and new options may become available over time. 

Your child’s consultant is the best person to discuss which clinical trials may be suitable and whether any are currently open for your child. Eligibility for clinical trials depends on several factors, including your child’s previous treatments and individual circumstances. 

You can also search for clinical trials on trusted websites such as: 

• www.cancerresearchuk.org 

• www.clinicaltrials.gov 

Making decisions about enrolling your child on a clinical trial can be difficult, but support is available.

If you are considering a second opinion, you can ask your child’s consultant about referral to the National Neuroblastoma Advisory Panel.
