Study Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the best dose, benefits and/or side effects of 2 drugs (magrolimab and dinutuximab) when given in combination to treat neuroblastoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory), or osteosarcoma that has come back (relapsed). These drugs (magrolimab and dinutuximab) interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread, using them in treatment may stop or shrink cancer growth in cases of neuroblastoma and osteosarcoma.

An additional aim of this study is determining the safety of these drugs (magrolimab and dinutuximab) when given after surgery to remove tumors from the lungs.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Age between 1 and 35 years
  • Patients must have:
    • neuroblastoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or
    • osteosarcoma that has come back (relapsed)
  • Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

This is a phase II study to treat patients with neuroblastoma that has come back (relapsed) or is not responding to previous treatment (refractory). This study is seeing if combining eflornithine (a drug used to block the production of chemicals that may cause growth of cancer cells) with drugs used in chemotherapy/immunotherapy (irinotecan hydrochloride, temozolomide, sargramostim and dinutuximab) may work better in treating patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma compared to using irinotecan hydrochloride, temozolomide, sargramostim and dinutuximab alone. Patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 regimens, one regimen will recieve eflornithine with the chemotherapy/immunotherapy drugs and the other regimen will recieve chemotherapy/immunotherapy drugs without eflornithine.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients must have a neuroblastoma that has come back, progressed or not responded to previous treatment
  • Patients must be 1 year of age or older
  • Patients must be up and about at least 50% of their waking hours
  • 14 days must have passed if patients have recieved any treatment that supresses bone marrow
  • >= 21 days must have passed from infusion of antibodies
  • Patients must not have received radiation for a minimum of 4 weeks before joining the study. Palliative radiation while on study is not permitted.
  • Blood work must come back within the acceptable ranges
  • Patients must have no evidence of shortness of breath, and no need for supportive oxygen 
  • Patients with a history of central nervous system (CNS) disease must have no evidence of active CNS disease at the time of study enrollment
  • Patients with seizure disorders may be enrolled if seizures are well controlled on proper medication
  • Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test to be eligible for this study and must agree to use adequate contraception while enrolled on this study.

Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply and will be reviewed by your treating team.

Study Description

This study is aimed at improving the outcome for children with High Grade Glioma (HGG). Temozolomide, a medication taken by mouth, has been shown to improve survival in adults with glioblastoma, when taken during and after radiation. In this study, patients with a HGG that has specific molecular features (wild-type for H3-K27, IDH and BRAF) will receive experimental therapy of veliparib (given by mouth) during radiation therapy, followed by veliparib in combination with temozolomide.

This study will test whether this combination therapy may improve survival in children with newly diagnosed HGG that are wild-type for H3-K27, IDH and BRAF. Patients with IDH mutant glioma are also eligible. The outcomes of patients on this study will be compared to other patients with clinically and molecularly similar HGG treated with temozolomide alone.

(Retrieved from: https://www.childrensoncologygroup.org/acns1721)

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients must be at least 3 years old and less than 22 years of age. Patients less than 25 years old may be eligible to enroll if they have a specific type of high grade glioma
  • Patients must have newly diagnosed High Grade Glioma, that does not include brainstem or spinal cord tumors, or disease that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic disease)
  • Patients must agree to the study activities outlined in the consent forms; including MRI's, blood tests, biopsies etc - as they apply
  • Patients must be able to walk and do routine activities for more than half of their normal waking hours
  • If the patient has a seizure disorder, they may be enrolled if the seizures are well-controlled
  • A written consent form must be signed by the patients and/or their parents/legal guardians

Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply and will be discussed with you by the study doctor.

Study Description

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a cancer drug called repotrectinib in children. The cancer must have a change in a particular gene (ALK, ROS1 or NTRK). Those gene changes lead to abnormal proteins which may cause cancer cells to grow. Repotrectinib blocks the actions of these genes in cancer cells and can therefore be used to treat cancer.

The first study part (Phase 1) is done to determine what dose level of repotrectinib is safe for children, how the drug is absorbed.

The main purpose of the second study part (Phase 2) is to investigate how well and how long different cancer types respond to the treatment with repotrectinib.

 

 

This study is divided into 2 stages/phases.

The first stage or phase evaluates the safety and tolerability of the drug (repotrectinib) in patients with advanced cancers. This allows researchers to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) which can then be used to select the recommended dose for patients.

The second stage or phase will determine the effectiveness of the drug (repotrectinib) in treating advanced cancers.

Inclusion Criteria

For the first phase:

  • Age <12 years
  • Patients with advanced or metastatic cancer, including brain tumours or certain types of lymphoma
  • The tumour must have a change in one of the following genes: ALK, ROS1 or NTRK
  • Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team.

For the second phase:

  • Age 12 to less than 25 years
  • Patients with advanced or metastatic cancer, including brain tumours or certain types of lymphoma
  • The tumour must have a change in one of the following genes: ALK, ROS1 or NTRK
  • Some patients may be eligible even if they have already received another drug blocking NTRK in the past
  • Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team.
