Study Description

This study evaluates the safety of a type of treatment called HER2 CAR T cells (short for HER2 chimeric antigen receptor T cells). In addition to looking for side effects, we will study how well this treatment works against a brain tumor called ependymoma that has come back after treatment (recurrent) or has not responded well to treatment (progressive) in children. The HER2 CAR T cells used in this trial are made from the patient's own blood.

A new gene, called the HER2 CAR, will be inserted into patient's cells to allow them to recognize a protein on the tumor called HER2. These HER2-specific CAR T cells may be able to target and kill ependymoma tumors. This research is also studying how doable it is to provide this type of CAR T cell treatment to children being treated at different hospitals.

Inclusion Criteria

• Participants must have a diagnosis of ependymoma that is has come back or progressed.
• Patient must be ≥ 1 but ≤ 22 years of age at the time of enrollment for treatment.
• Participants must be up and about for 60% of their waking hours
• Patients must have received last dose of previous chemotherapy at least 21 days before enrollment.
• Patient must meet all organ function, bone marrow function and laboratory criteria
• The patient or parent/guardian can understand the consent and is willing to sign a written informed consent document according to institutional guidelines. Age- and developmentally appropriate assent should be obtained as required by institutional guidelines.

Additional inclusion and exclusion criteria applies and will be discussed with you by the study team.

Study Description

This study is testing a new treatment for children with DIPG or DMG brain tumors who have recently finished radiation. The treatment combines a vaccine (rHSC-DIPGVax) with two medicines, BALSTILIMAB and ZALIFRELIMAB. The main goal is to see if this combination is safe and can be tolerated. Patients may join if they were diagnosed with DIPG or DMG and completed radiation about 6–10 weeks before entering the study.

Inclusion Criteria

• Participants must be 12 months - 18 years old with newly diagnosed Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) or Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) 
• Must have measurable tumor on scans
• Body size (BSA) must be at least 0.35 m²
• Must be up and about at least 50% of waking hours 

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

Study Description

This is a phase I/II trial that studies how well the treatments tiragolumab and atezolizumab work when given to children with tumours that have either come back (relapsed) or did not respond to therapy (refractory). These tumours must have a certain mutation, meaning the cancer cells are missing important genes called SMARCB1 and SMARCA4. Tiragolumab and atezolizumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Inclusion Criteria

Part A is now completed, Part B criteria now applies: 

• Participants must be between 1-18 years old for part A of this study. There is no upper age limit for part B
• Participants must have one of the following cancers, that has either come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory):
  • Renal medullary carcinoma
  • Malignant rhabdoid tumor (extra-CNS)
  • Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (CNS)
  • Poorly differentiated chordoma
  • Epithelioid sarcoma
• Cancer must have the eligible mutation (SMARCB1 or SMARCA4)
• Participants must be up and about for at least half their waking hours
• Participants must meet all bloodwork criteria outlined for this study

Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply and will be discussed with you by your clinical team

Study Description

This is a study to find out whether a drug called olaparib (also called a PARP inhibitor) is safe and well tolerated when administered to children and adolescents with solid tumours or brain tumours, when they have come back or are not improving with treatment.

Inclusion Criteria

• Patients are ≥ 6 months to <18 years of age 
• Patients have a solid tumour or brain tumour that has come back (relapsed) or is not improving with treatment (refractory)  
• There is a gene change in the tumour or in the normal cells of the patient that can be called "homologous recombination repair gene mutation"
• The patient can swallow tablets
• Multiple other inclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team.

Study Description

The purpose of this study is to see if the experimental drug DAY101 is safe and effective in treating recurrent or progressive (tumor that has come back or isn’t improving despite treatment) glioma or solid tumors in pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients. The drug will be given in the form of oral tablets.

Inclusion Criteria

• Age between 6 months to 25 years
• Patient must be diagnosed with low grade glioma or solid tumor, that isn’t improving despite treatment 
• The tumour must display a genetic change called a "RAF alteration"
• Patient must be able to swallow oral tablets
• Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

This study is for babies and young children with leukemia that has come back or isn’t getting better with treatment. Some kids with leukemia have a gene change called KMT2A rearrangement, which makes the cancer harder to treat and more likely to come back. Doctors are testing a new medicine called revumenib. It is a pill that helps target and kill leukemia cells with this gene change.

In this study, children will get revumenib along with regular chemotherapy. 

Inclusion Criteria

• Between 1 month to 6 years old
• First diagnosed with leukemia before age 2
• Has a certain type of leukemia with a KMT2A gene change that has come back or didn’t respond to treatment
• Types of leukemia allowed:
  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
  • Mixed or unclear type (MPAL or ALAL)
• Up and about at least 50% of waking hours 
• Can take medicine by mouth or feeding tube
• Has recovered from any side effects of past treatment
• Meets all organ function and blood work requirements

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

Study Description

This phase I/II trial is trying to determine how much carfilzomib (an anti-cancer drug) should be used, alone and in combination with induction chemotherapy, to treat children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or is refractory to treatment. Carfilzomib is an anti-cancer medication called proteasome inhibitor and is given intravenously.

Inclusion Criteria

• Age 1 year to 21 years
• Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia 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

The study drug will be given subcutaneously in 28 day cycles and participants will be followed for a minimum of 3 years after enrolling.

Inclusion Criteria

• Participants must have Burkitt's or Burkitt-like lymphoma/leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or other aggressive mature B-cell lymphomas 
• Tumour must have come back (relapsed) or progressed after previous treatment
• Between 1-18 years of age
• Participants must be able to be up and about at least half of their waking hours
• Adequate organ function
