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

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

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)

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)

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

Neurofibromatosis 1 Optic Glioma's - Understanding the mechanisms of Vision Loss for Visual Restoration Strategies

In this study we are seeking to learn how different eye tests and devices can help understand vision in patients with NF1, including how vision loss might show up on different eye imaging devices that measure the nerves or the blood vessels of the eye. The study aims to understand the mechanisms of vision loss caused by neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated optic pathway gliomas, or NF1-OPGs. Subjects eight years and older with NF1 are eligible to enroll.
Subjects may not benefit directly from participating in this study, but the knowledge gained will help doctors understand the potential benefit of using these tests and other procedures to improve their ability to identify the best tests to monitor visual function, and ultimately identify treatments to improve vision, in children and adults with NF1.

Phase: N/A

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neurofibromatosis type 1

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

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 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
