Information is also accessible through the patient and families tab. Family friendly summaries are created and reviewed by our advocacy partners. The information is updated to the best of our knowledge but might not reflect the latest information. Note that most studies are only available at a limited number of sites, please click on ‘further information’ for details. Studies, particularly early phase trials, may also temporarily close to enrolment or not have slots available for all treatment groups. In all cases, study teams at individual C17 centres will have the most up-to-date information.

Study Description

 This study is eligible for STEP-1 funding. Find more information here

 

This study is testing Opdualag, a medicine that combines two drugs, in children, teens, and young adults (12 years and older) whose cancers have returned or not responded to treatment. Some participants will have tumors that show high immune activity, while others will have tumors that did not respond to previous immunotherapy.

The study will look at how well Opdualag works, any side effects, and how treatment affects quality of life. Blood and tissue samples will also be collected to help researchers better understand the cancer and the immune system.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients must be 12 years or older with cancer that has come back or didn’t respond to treatment.
  • Patients have a cancer (outside or inside the brain/spine) that has come back or not responded to treatment
  • There are two groups:
    • Tumors with a strong immune response
    • Tumors with a DNA repair problem has worsened during or after prior immunotherapy
  • Patients must have measurable disease confirmed by appropriate imaging methods
  • Must meet all organ function requirements
  • Must be up and about at least 50% of waking hours (wheelchair allowed)
  • Enough time must have passed from any previous treatment; the study team will let you know the timelines
  • Patients must remain abstinent or use adequate birth control as explained by the study team
