This trial is for people with high-risk neuroblastoma in complete remission. First remission requires at least six months since anti-GD2 immunotherapy began; second or later remissions also qualify.

The idea: compare two oral beta-glucan schedules alongside ten vaccine doses. The OPT-821 adjuvant aims to boost vaccine immune responses; beta-glucan can prime immune cells. Repeated fourteen-day courses continue until about week twenty or fifty-two, then accompany later vaccinations. Researchers measure anti-GD2 antibody levels.

This phase 2 study plans 100 patients. Brian Kushner leads at Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York; seven US sites recruit.
