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.

Has 131I-MIBG been investigated in other clinical research investigations?
"In 2005, 131I-MIBG was first tested at Lund University Hospital's Department of Pediatric Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation. Since then, 156 studies have been successfully completed while 36 are ongoing. The majority of these active trials take place in New Hyde Park, NY."
How many participants have registered for the trial thus far?
"This research project requires 60 suitable candidates to join the study. Those eligible can enrol at Northwell Health/Cohen Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park, NY or UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in Saint Louis, Missouri."
What potential risks should be considered when prescribing 131I-MIBG to patients?
"131I-MIBG was measured to be of moderate safety, as it scored a 2 on our team's scale. This radionuclide is currently in its second phase of assessment with some evidence surrounding safety but none related to efficacy."
What medical conditions is 131I-MIBG typically used to treat?
"131I-MIBG is an effective solution for treating cutaneous t-cell lymphoma, as well as certain advanced directives, lvef ≤35%, and ctage1 protein, human."
