Afamitresgene Autoleucel in Pediatric Subjects with MAGE-A4 Positive Tumors

This study involves an investigational cellular therapy called Afamitresgene Autoleucel. The overall goal of this study is to find out how safe and effective this cellular therapy is in treating people that have been diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), neuroblastoma or osteosarcoma that has grown or returned after being treated.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neuroblastoma, Osteosarcoma (bone cancer in children), Soft tissue sarcomas

Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting Control

For patients (and parents of patients) that have been diagnosed with, pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), nausea and vomiting are among the most bothersome symptoms during chemotherapy treatment. The overall goal of this study is to find the best strategies used by parents and patients for managing these symptoms when receiving maintenance therapy.

Phase: N/A

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Lurbinectedin in Ewing Sarcoma

This study involves taking a study drug called lurbinectedin. The overall goal of this study is to see if different doses of lurbinectedin are safe and effective at treating children and young adults with recurrent or relapsed solid tumors, including Ewing Sarcoma.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Central Nervous System (CNS) Germ Cell Tumors, Ewing sarcoma

NEPENTHE - Next Generation Personalized Neuroblastoma Therapy

This is a clinical trial for patients with neuroblastoma that has returned (relapsed) or has not responded to standard treatment. The patients will have a biopsy of their tumor that will be tested for genetic changes and then matched to available drugs. If the results from the testing show molecular features in the tumor that allow for study treatment, patients will be invited for further testing to see if they are eligible for new treatments. Experimental therapies are all taken orally and may consist of one drug or a combination of drugs

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children, MRI/Imaging Studies

Conditions: Neuroblastoma

ON-TRK

The goal of this observational study is to describe the safety and effectiveness of larotrectinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TRK fusion cancer for whom a decision to treat with larotrectinib has been made before enrollment. This study will enroll participants with any tumors harboring the NTRK gene fusion including Soft Tissue Sarcomas, Central Nervous System, Melanoma, and Thyroid cancers.

Phase: N/A

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Central Nervous System (CNS) Germ Cell Tumors, Soft tissue sarcomas, Thyroid Cancer in Children

Palbociclib, Irinotecan, and Temozolomide in Ewing Sarcoma

The purpose of the Phase 2 portion of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug called palbociclib when given in combination with two other drugs (temozolomide and irinotecan) in patients with Ewing sarcoma and when given in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in patients with neuroblastoma.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma

Phase 2 trial of CART19 for Orphan Indications Of Pediatric B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)

This is an open-label, four-cohort, phase 2 study to determine the efficacy of CART19 in pediatric and young adult patients with hypodiploid (Cohort A) or t(17;19) B-ALL (Cohort B), infants with very high risk KMT2A B-ALL (Cohort C), and in patients with central nervous system (CNS) relapse who did not receive cranial radiation (XRT) or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (Cohort D). Possible procedures include medical record review, apheresis, CART19 infusion, blood draws, physical exams, imaging, and disease assessments through bone marrows and lumbar punctures. If interested in the study or if you have any questions, please contact 267-426-0762.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Pediatric Leukemias

Prodigy huCART19

CAR T cell therapy has shifted the treatment landscape for pediatric and young adult patients with advanced B-cell leukemias. However, the manufacturing process remains in its first generation: difficult, time-consuming, and not automated. The time and significant resources in this process can result in patient safety issues - with patients growing sicker, with harder to control leukemias - in the waiting period. Use of the CliniMACS Prodigy platform can help to surmount these issues. This study will determine the safety and usefulness of using the CliniMACS Prodigy platform to manufacture huCART19 cells.

This is a Phase 1/2b trial for the treatment of patients with either advanced or refractory B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or B-lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma who will be treated with huCART19, which has been manufactured using the CliniMACs Prodigy Platform. Possible procedures include medical record review, apheresis, huCART19 infusion, blood draws, physical exams, imaging, and disease assessments through bone marrows and lumbar punctures. Overall, approximately 89 subjects will be enrolled on this clinical trial.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Repotrectinib for ALK, ROS1, or NTRK1-3 Alterations

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of the investigational drug called repotrectinib in children whose cancers have specific genetic changes (in the ALK, ROS1, or NTRK1-3 genes). This is the first study using this drug in children under 12 years of age. Repotrectinib is administered in capsule form or liquid suspension.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Central Nervous System (CNS) Germ Cell Tumors

SAR443579 in AML, B-ALL, or MDS

This study involves taking a study drug called SAR443579. The overall goal of this study is to find out if the study drug is safe and effective at treating adults and children with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML), high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS), or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). This is a first-in-human research study.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Pediatric Leukemias, Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
