Study Description

Patients on this study will receive 4 doses of a vaccine called SurVaxM. While vaccines are usually thought of as ways to prevent diseases, vaccines can also be used to treat cancer. SurVaxM is designed to tell the body's immune system to look for tumor cells that express a protein called survivin and destroy them. If the body's immune system knows to destroy cells that express survivin, it may help to control tumor growth and recurrence.

Inclusion Criteria

• Participant must have one of the following tumors that has progressed or come back: 
  • Medulloblastoma
  • Glioblastoma multiforme 
  • Anaplastic astrocytoma
  • High-grade astrocytoma, NOS
  • Anaplastic oligodendroglioma
  • Anaplastic ependymoma
  • Ependymoma 
  • Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG)
• Participant must be ≥ 1 year of age and ≤ 21 years of age at the time of screening.
• Participant or parent/guardian must be willing to sign a consent form and complete the study related assessments.
• Participants must have recovered from all previous cancer therapies. 
• Must be up and about for around 60% of the patient's waking hours
• Participants must meet all the blood work requirements 
• You cannot be pregnant or become pregnant on this study. If you are able to have children, you must use an acceptable form of birth control. Abstinence is included. 

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

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 clinical trial studies the side effects and how well larotrectinib (a medication taken by mouth) works in treating patients with

• solid tumors and brain tumours with a specific gene change called a "TRK fusion", previously untreated
• acute leukemia that has come back, and has a specific gene change called a "TRK fusion".

Larotrectinib may stop the growth of cancer cells with TRK fusions by blocking the TRK enzymes needed for cell growth.

Inclusion Criteria

• Age up to 30 years
• Patients must fit into one of the 3 groups
  • Group A: diagnosis of infantile fibrosarcoma with a specific gene change called a "TRK fusion". The patient will have received no prior anti-cancer therapy, including radiotherapy, other than surgical resection (operation to remove the tumour)
  • Group B: diagnosis of any solid tumor including brain tumours (except high grade gliomas), with a specific gene change called a "TRK fusion". The patient will have received no prior anti-cancer therapy, including radiotherapy, other than surgical resection (operation to remove the tumour)
  • Group C: diagnosis of acute leukemia that has come back, and has a specific gene change called a "TRK fusion".
• Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

This study will test bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat, which may provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.

Inclusion Criteria

• Patient must be less than 22 years old
• Patient must have a leukemia that has come back or not responded to other treatment
• Patient and/or their family must sign a written informed consent and agree to the study requirements 

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

Study Description

(via: https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/clinical-trials/21-303)

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug RP-6306 that can be used in advanced solid tumors containing certain genetic changes and which have come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. 

RP-6306 blocks the protein PKMY1, which plays a major role in the survival and growth of cancers with the genetic changes being studied in this clinical trial. RP-6306 is taken orally (by mouth).

Inclusion Criteria

(via: https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/clinical-trials/21-303)

To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

• Patients must have a locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor that has come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment
• Participants’ tumors must contain a mutation in the FBXW7 or PPP2R1A genes or extra copies of the CCNE1 gene
• Patients must be able to walk and do routine activities for more than half of their normal waking hours
• This study is for people age 12 and older

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

Study Description

This is a study of naxitamab, also known as hu3F8, a humanised antibody targeting GD2 in children and adults diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma. GD2 is a marker present at the surface of the neuroblastoma cells; therefore the naxitamab can target the neuroblastoma cells and stimulate the immune system to kill them.

Patients with with primary refractory disease (disease that has never improved with previous treatment), or patients that have had a relapse but incomplete response of the disease in bone and/or bone marrow from salvage treatment will be considered for this study.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) will be given along naxitamab.

Inclusion Criteria

• Diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma with disease in bone and/or bone marrow.
• High-risk neuroblastoma patients with either primary refractory disease or incomplete response to salvage treatment
• Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

This is study of a new medication called isatuximab (antibody against a marker called CD38) in combination with standard chemotherapy for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia that has relapsed or is refractory to treatment. The main objective of this study is to understand the anti-leukemia effect of this medication. 

Inclusion Criteria

• Age between 28 days to less than 18 years of age
• Acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia that has relapsed or is refractory to treatment
• Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

This study is trying to determine the benefit of adding bevacizumab (an intravenous drug) to chemotherapy treatment with vinblastine, in children and adolescents with low grade gliomas.

Participants in this trial will be randomised (randomly assigned) into one of two treatment arms.

• Arm A will include 68 weeks (16 months) of single agent Vinblastine given once weekly intravenously.
• Arm B will include 68 weeks (16 months) of Vinblastine given weekly intravenously with the addition of 12 doses of bevacizumab given every two weeks intravenously for the initial 24 weeks (6 months).

Inclusion Criteria

• Children and adolescents aged 6 months to < 18 years
• Low grade glioma 
• The tumour must have grown back after surgery with clear imaging or clinical signs, or
• The tumour was partially removed with surgery and there is a necessity to begin treatment because of a risk of neurological impairment with progression.
• Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team
