Recruiting PHASE2 Neuroblastoma

New treatment option for Neuroblastoma

Official title Haploidentical Donor Cytokine-Induced Memory-Like Natural Killer Cells (CIML-NK) for Relapsed & Refractory Neuroblastoma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07635056

What this study is testing

What is CIML-NK Cells?

CIML-NK Cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for neuroblastoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this study is to demonstrate that cytokine-induced memory-like natural killer cells (CIML-NK cells) can be generated from donor cells and infused safely into patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma during dinutuximab-based therapy.
