MiniVan Trial Summary
This trialis researching a promising combination of drugs to improve outcome in neuroblastoma, a type of cancer in children. It will take place in 4 hospitals over 2 yrs, assessing safety & efficacy.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma. They must have a certain type of active disease visible on imaging, be past specific treatments like myeloablative chemotherapy, and meet health criteria such as adequate organ function and performance status. Children with severe prior reactions to similar therapies or certain medical conditions are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and potential effectiveness of combining an anti-GD2 antibody (standard treatment) with two drugs: 131-I mIBG (a radioactive compound) and Nivolumab (an immune system-boosting drug). It's an adaptive trial in three cohorts, gradually increasing doses if safe, across hospitals in the UK, Germany, and USA.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include inflammation from immune responses due to Nivolumab, radiation-related effects from mIBG therapy such as nausea or thyroid damage, allergic reactions to Dinutuximab Beta antibodies including skin rash or fever. Each child's experience may vary.

Group I: TreatmentExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The dose and schedule of 131-I mIBG will be constant, and the doses of ch14.18/ CHO and Nivolumab determined by cohort:
Cohort I: 3 mg/kg Nivolumab (100% adult dose). No ch14.18/CHO. (3-6 patients)
Cohort II: 50mg/m2/cycle ch14.18/CHO (50% established Long Term Intervention (LTI) dose) and 3 mg/kg Nivolumab (100% adult dose) (3-6 patients)
Cohort III: 100mg/m2/cycle ch14.18/CHO (100% established LTI dose) and 3 mg/kg Nivolumab (100% adult dose) (initial 3-6 patients, expanded to 15 patient cohort if tolerated)
