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

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)

CD22 Redirected Autologous T Cells for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

The purpose of this study is to test an experimental approach called cell therapy for Leukemia that involves B cells (tumor cells). This is a study for people who have been previously treated for Leukemia. This study will take the participant's white blood cells (T cells) and then modify them in a lab to recognize and target the cancer cells. These modified cells are then put back into the body through infusion. If you have previously received a similar cell therapy, you may still be eligible for this study.


Phase: Pilot

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

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)

CHOP T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Study (BEAM-201)

The purpose of this study is to test a cell therapy for T-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Lymphoma. The CAR T-cells are made by collecting T-cells from donors and modifying them to attach to cancer cells. CAR T-cells have been used to treat other cancers, but these cells, known as BEAM-201 cells, are an experimental treatment. The participants will be given BEAM-201 cells via an IV and then monitored for up to 12 months.

This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of BEAM-201 cells.

Phase: Phase I

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Endotheliopathy in Oncology

The purpose of this research study is to determine if certain markers in your blood are increased over the duration of your chemotherapy, especially as you get sicker, such as developing a severe infection (sepsis) or severe respiratory failure (acute respiratory distress syndrome).

Phase: Pilot

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Pediatric Leukemias, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML), Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children, Hodgkin Lymphoma

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

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)
