NCT ID: NCT01440283 Terminated - Clinical trials for Abdominal Neuroblastoma

A Phase II Study of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) in High Risk Abdominal Neuroblastoma

Start date: September 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

High risk neuroblastoma (NB) is an aggressive, prevalent non-brain cancer derived from nerve cells of the body. It mostly affects infants, and more children die from this tumor each year than are cured. Standard therapy includes a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, bone marrow transplant, radiation and immunotherapy. NB is very sensitive to radiation, but due to it's aggressive spread pattern, radiation use is currently limited by toxicity. This study seeks to improve delivery of radiation to reduce toxicity by quantifying outcomes, and measuring differences in renal toxicity and organ motion so that radiation can be focused more effectively against tumor while sparing normal tissues and reducing side-effects.
