AUTO1 for B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia and B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to determine whether AUTO1, an experimental form of therapy, is safe and effective in helping the immune system fight cancer. AUTO1 uses immune cells, called T cells, that are collected from the blood using a process called leukapheresis and then modified in a lab to recognize and target cancer cells. These modified cells are then put back into the body through infusion.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Children

Conditions: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children

Cabo/Ifos in relapsed/refractory sarcomas (CaIRS trial)

This study enrolls patients between 5 and 40 years of age with a diagnosis of any sarcoma that has progressed on or relapsed after upfront initial therapy. The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of a drug called cabozantinib ("the study drug") to give to patients in combination with a routine chemotherapy drug called ifosfamide.

Phase: Phase I

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Ewing sarcoma, Osteosarcoma (bone cancer in children)

CD33 CART AML

This phase 1/2 study will determine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of CD33 CART cells following lymphodepleting chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients who are between ages 1 to 30 years with relapsed or refractory AML will be eligible for this study.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

INBRX-109 in Ewing Sarcoma and Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

This study involves taking a study drug called INBRX-109. The overall goal of the study is to find out how safe and effective the study drug is in treating people that have been diagnosed with advanced or metastatic Ewing sarcoma or SDH-deficient solid tumor/Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST).

Phase: Phase I

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

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

Larotrectinib RAI Thyroid (LANTERN)

This study enrolls patients with newly diagnosed differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary thyroid cancer or follicular thyroid cancer) that has spread to the lungs and has a genetic mutation called and NTRK fusion. The study involves taking a study drug called larotrectinib for approximately 6 months prior to receiving radioiodine therapy (RAI). The overall goal of this study is to find out if taking the study drug before RAI works better than receiving RAI alone (the usual standard of care treatment).

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children, MRI/Imaging Studies

Conditions: Thyroid Cancer in Children, Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

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

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

PEEL-224 in Solid Tumors

This study enrolls patients with refractory, progressive, or relapsed solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a drug called PEEL-224 ("the study drug") is safe and effective when given as monotherapy (a drug given by itself) and as part of a combination therapy together with other chemotherapy drugs.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Ewing sarcoma, Hepatoblastoma (liver cancer), Relapsed or Refractory Neuroblastoma, Osteosarcoma (bone cancer in children), Rhabdomyosarcoma, Soft tissue sarcomas, Wilms Tumor (Kidney Tumor)

Phase 1 Study Of Lentivirally Transduced T Cells Engineered To Contain Anti-CD123 In Subjects With Refractory Or Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Phase 1 open-label study to estimate the safety, manufacturing feasibility, and efficacy of intravenously administered, lentivirally transduced T cells expressing anti-CD123 in pediatric subjects with relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Main study procedures include medical record review, apheresis, CART123 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 I

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

PHOX2B CAR T-Cells for Relapsed Neuroblastoma

The purpose of this study is to test an experimental approach called cell therapy for neuroblastoma. This study will take a patient's own white blood cells (T cells) and change them to turn against the cancer. CART cells have been used to treat other cancers, but PHOX2B CART cells have not been administered to human patients prior to this clinical trial. Participants will be given PHOX2B cells via an IV and then monitored for up to 12 months.

Participants will also be asked to sign consent to a separate long term follow-up protocol to monitor their health for up to 15 years after their last PHOX2B CART treatment.

Phase: Phase I

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Relapsed or Refractory Neuroblastoma
