Study Summary

This trial aims to understand how radiation treats cancer while avoiding side effects, by collecting data & biospecimens before, during & after radiation & annotating them w/clinical, biological & other features.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults with specific types of brain tumors or high-risk neuroblastoma. Participants must meet certain age, health, and diagnostic criteria, have stable vital functions, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. They should also be enrolled in one of the specified clinical trials related to their condition.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The MCT aims to collect detailed biological data from patients undergoing radiation therapy for tumor treatment. It involves external beam radiotherapy and a radioactive drug called 131I-MIBG to understand how these treatments work against tumors while assessing potential side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include damage to healthy tissues due to radiation exposure, thyroid issues from radioactive iodine (131I-MIBG), fatigue, nausea, blood count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems.
