Study Description

This clinical trial studies whether adding an oral medication called lenvatinib to chemotherapy with ifosfamide/etoposide improves outcomes for patients with osteosarcoma that has come back (relapse). 

Lenvatinib blocks cell proteins and signals directed at blood vessels that help the cancer to survive.

Patients can be treated in two different arms: Arm A: chemotherapy + lenvatinib or  Arm B : chemotherapy. The participants will be divided by chance into those two separate groups through a computerised process. The treating team will NOT decide into which arm a given patient will be assigned. At this time, it is not known which treatment option is best.

 

Inclusion Criteria
  • Age between 2 and 25 years
  • Osteosarcoma that has come back (relapse) or is not improving despite treatments (refractory)
  • Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

This is a study of two medications taken by mouth, called lenvatinib and everolimus. Lenvatinib blocks cell proteins and signals directed at blood vessels that help the cancer to survive. Everolimus is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth of cancer cells and slows their spread in the body. It is called an mTOR inhibitor.

The phase 1 of this study has been completed, and now the phase 2 is on-going to understand the anti-cancer activity of those two medications taken together in patients with Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma or high grade glioma that has come back (relapsed) or is refractory to treatment.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Age from 2 years to 21 years
  • Diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma or high grade glioma that has come back (relapsed) or is refractory to treatment
  • Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

Many pediatric brain and solid tumors have genetic changes that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence called epigenetic alterations.These dysfunctions can favor tumour developpment. 5'Azacitidine is a drug that has similarities with one of the components of DNA and RNA.

It can kill abnormal cells through incorporation into DNA and RNA. It is expected to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells.

The aim of this phase I/II study is to evaluate the dose, safety, tolerability, antitumor activity and other characteristics of 5'azacytidine in combination with carboplatin.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Greater than the age of 1 year and under age 18 at the time of study enrolment
  • Recurrent or refractory solid tumor (Phase I), or recurrent or refractory ependymoma (Phase Ib)
  • Tissue from diagnosis or resection prior to registration must be available (either flash frozen tissue or an FFPE (formalin fixed paraffin embedded) block)
  • Previous therapy with carboplatin will be permitted
  • Failed first line treatment (surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy) and should not be eligible for treatment with curative potential.

Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team.

Study Description

Some diseases such as cancer with BRAF mutations, low grade gliomas and plexiform neurofibroma in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 [NF-1], or Langerhans cell histocytosis [LCH]) have been shown to have molecular dysfunction called MAPK pathway dysregulation which favors tumour development. The MAPK pathway is involved in cell growth, differentiation, inflammation and apoptosis.Trametinib is an inhibitor of components of the MAPK pathway called MEK1 and MEK2. Drabafenib is a small molecule that inhibits the MAPK pathway in BRAF mutated cells by blocking the BRAF serine-threonine kinase. Both are expected to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells.

The aim of this phase I/II study is to evaluate the dose, safety, tolerability, antitumor activity and other pharmacologic characteristics of Trametinib alone or with Dabrafenib in children with refractory or relapsed solid cancer or disease with BRAF mutations for which no standard therapy is available or for which the subject is not eligible for the existing therapy.

The study is currently open for LCH and neuroblastoma only.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Male or female between one month and <18 years of age (inclusive) at the time of signing consent
  • Must have a disease that is relapsed/refractory to all potentially curative standard treatment regimens or must have a current disease for which there is no known curative therapy, or therapy proven to prolong survival with an acceptable quality of life.
  • The subject's disease (i.e. cancer, neurofibromatosis type 1 [NF-1] with plexiform neurofibroma [PN], or Langerhans cell histocytosis [LCH]) must have relapsed after or failed to respond to frontline curative therapy or there must not be other potentially curative treatment options available. Curative therapy may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or any combination of these modalities
  • Able to swallow and retain enterally administered medication

Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team.

Study Description

Some rare cancer such as rhabdoid tumors or epithelioid sarcoma have been shown to have a molecular dysfunction allowing a protein called EZH2 to favour tumour developpment.

Study Description

This study is specifically for patients diagnosed with relapsed or persistent neuroblastoma.

Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a compound that can be combined with radioactive iodine (I-131) to deliver targeted radiation therapy. Oncologists use to deliver targeted radiation to neuroblastoma. I-131 MIBG is administered to a child through an intravenous line and is absorbed by tumor cells, which are killed by radiation emitted by the radioactive I-131. 

The three treatment arms are the following:

  • 131 I-MIBG therapy alone
  • 131 I-MIBG therapy with Irinotecan and Vincristine: The two chemotherapy medications irinotecan and vincristine, which are known to be active agents for neuroblastoma, are given at the same time as the 131I-MIBG, and may make the 131I-MIBG more effective at treating neuroblastoma.
  • 131 I-MIBG with Vorinostat: Vorinostat is a drug that is FDA-approved to treat a certain type of cancer mainly seen in adults. Vorinostat affects the way the DNA that carries our genes is folded in cells. In the laboratory, vorinostat causes neuroblastoma cells to stop growing. This effect is even greater when vorinostat is combined with radiation. Giving vorinostat together with the 131I-MIBG may make the 131I-MIBG more effective at treating neuroblastoma.

Why is this study being done?

  • To find out which of the three 131I-MIBG treatment arms have a better tumor response rate
  • To compare the side effects seen with 131I-MIBG alone, compared with 131I-MIBG in combination with Vincristine and Irinotecan or  131I-MIBG with Vorinostat.
  • To describe the number of patients found to have tumor cells in the blood and bone marrow using a new sensitive test following each of the three 131I-MIBG treatment arms.
  • To compare the exposure of whole body radiation from 131I-MIBG received on the three treatment arms.
  • To learn about a new computerized way of reading MIBG scans.
Inclusion Criteria

(From NANT website - https://www.nant.org/n2011-01/)

  • Patients must be at least 24 months and no older than 30 years of age
  • Patients must have relapsed neuroblastoma, refractory neuroblastoma or persistent neuroblastoma 
  • Patients must have  at least one site of tumor with MIBG uptake based on an MIBG scan done within 4 weeks prior to entry on study
  • Patients must have an adequate number of  peripheral blood stem cells available.
  • Patients must have adequate organ function.
  • Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team
