- Title
- NMTT- Neuroblastoma Maintenance Therapy Trial Using Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO)
- Associated Disease(s)
-
Neuroblastoma
- Description (Summary)
- The purpose of this research study is to test an investigational drug (DFMO) for Neuroblastoma that is in remission. An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study will look at the ability of this study drug to keep your tumor in
remission and will also look at the safety and tolerability* of DFMO.
*Tolerability means how well you or your body can tolerate; or put up with the possible side effects and/or symptoms you may have from taking the DFMO. DFMO was shown to be effective in inhibiting tumor growth in adult colon cancers. DFMO has been tested in several adult and pediatric clinical trials. Laboratory testing in neuroblastoma suggests that this drug may be effective in preventing relapse of this disease.
