Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Children and young adults up to 31 years old with neuroblastoma available for fresh tissue and/or blood/bone marrow samples, across diagnosing, relapsed, or refractory disease stages.

Probably not a fit

Patients who cannot provide informed consent/assent or lack available fresh biological samples may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational, investigator-initiated study collects biological samples (blood, tumor tissue, and/or bone marrow) from neuroblastoma patients across participating centers. Samples are centralized for centralized analysis, and data are recorded using paper-based forms with unique patient codes. Inclusion spans newly diagnosed to relapsed or refractory disease, with informed consent required. The study does not specify interventions or treatment changes but aims to characterize molecular and biological features. Geographic sites are pediatric centers in Italy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could improve understanding of neuroblastoma biology and inform future personalized approaches.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in pediatric cancers have shown the value of integrated genomic and transcriptomic profiling for understanding disease biology; this study applies a similar approach to neuroblastoma.
