OPTIMUM Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new combination treatment for neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that most often affects children. The treatment consists of a targeted radiation therapy called 131I-MIBG, which is used to deliver a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor, and Vorinostat, which is a type of chemotherapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma that's come back or gotten worse. They should have recovered from previous treatments, not exceeded a certain dose of 131I-MIBG therapy, and have specific organ functions within normal ranges. Patients must be over 1 year old, able to perform daily activities at least half the time (Karnofsky/Lansky score ≥50%), and agree to use effective contraception if applicable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how safe and effective the combination of two drugs, Iobenguane (131-I) and Vorinostat, is in treating recurrent or progressive high-risk neuroblastoma. It looks at whether this combo can help patients whose cancer has returned or continued to grow despite treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial description doesn't list specific side effects, similar therapies often cause nausea, fatigue, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. There may also be kidney or liver function changes and potential thyroid issues.
