APEC1621: Pediatric MATCH: Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorders

• Ages: 12 Months to 21 Years

PURPOSE: This screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/o ...More

CONNECT2007: Lutathera for Treatment of Recurrent or Progressive High-Grade CNS Tumors or Meningiomas Expressing SST2A

• Ages: 4 Years and older

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) in pediatric and young adult patients with progressive or recurrent High-Grade Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and meningiomas (any grade) that express Somatostatin Type 2A Receptors by immunohistochemistry and demons ...More

GCC1949: Pediatric Trial of Indoximod With Chemotherapy and Radiation for Relapsed Brain Tumors or Newly Diagnosed DIPG

• Ages: 3 years to 21 years of age

Indoximod was developed to inhibit the IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase) enzymatic pathway, which is important in the natural regulation of immune responses. This potent immune suppressive mechanism has been implicated in regulating immune responses in settings as diverse as infection, tissue/organ ...More

GO42286: A Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Alectinib in Pediatric Patients With ALK Fusion-Positive Solid or CNS Tumors

• Ages: Up to 17 years

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of alectinib in children and adolescents with ALK fusion-positive solid or CNS tumors for whom prior treatment has proven to be ineffective or for whom there is no satisfactory standard treatment available. GO42286: A Phase I/II, ...More

PBTC-048: Feasibility Trial of Optune for Children With Recurrent or Progressive Supratentorial High-Grade Glioma and Ependymoma

PURPOSE: This feasibility trial studies how well the Optune device works in treating younger patients with recurrent/refractory/progressive supratentorial malignant glioma and ependymoma. The TTFields generated by Optune device may inhibit the growth of tumor.&#x2028 DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Primary Ob ...More

PBTC-059: HER2-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells for Children With Ependymoma

• Ages: 1 Year to 22 Years

This is a Phase I study to evaluate the safety profile of a type of immune therapy 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 ba ...More

PBTC-060: A Pilot Study of SurVaxM in Children Progressive or Relapsed Medulloblastoma, High Grade Glioma, Ependymoma and Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

• Ages: 1 Year to 21 Years

This is a multicenter pilot study of SurVaxM (SVN53-67/M57-KLH) for children and young adults with progressive or relapsed medulloblastoma, high grade glioma, ependymoma and newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Survivin (BIRC5) is an inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein that is highly e ...More

PEPN2111: CBL0137 for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors, Including CNS Tumors and Lymphoma

• Ages: 1 Month to 30 Years

This phase I/II trial evaluates the best dose, side effects and possible benefit of CBL0137 in treating patients with solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors or lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs, such as CBL0137, block sig ...More

VITAS: Atezolizumab in Combination With Chemotherapy for Pediatric Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors

• Ages: 6 Months to 18 Years

This trial is a multi-center, non-randomized, open-label Phase I/II study evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of vincristine, irinotecan, temozolomide, and atezolizumab in children with relapsed/refractory solid tumors. In this study, we will test the combination of atezolizumab with chemotherap ...More
