AALL2121: SNDX-5613 for Relapsed or Refractory Leukemia

This study enrolls patients that have been diagnosed with acute leukemia associated with a KMT2A (MLL) gene rearrangement (referred to as KMT2Arearranged, or KMT2A-R). The KMT2A-R leukemia has come back after treatment (relapsed) or is not responding to treatment (it is refractory). This study involves taking a study drug called SNDX-5613. The study is divided into two phases: one in which the study drug is given in combination with chemotherapy and a phase where the study drug is given alone. The purpose of the study is to test the safety of the study drug with chemotherapy, and how well the treatment regimen works for infants and young children with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-R leukemia.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Children

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

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)

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

Fludarabine/Cytarabine/Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin With or Without Venetoclax in Relapsed AML

This study involves taking a study drug called venetoclax with or without standard of care chemotherapy. The overall goal of this study is to see if adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy leads to improved survival for children and young adults with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study may last up to 9 years and will enroll male and female patients from the ages of 29 days to 21 years of age.

Phase: Phase III

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

Head Start 4 Protocol for Children with Medulloblastoma and CNS Embryronal Tumors

Children (less than 10 years of age) are eligible if they have been diagnosed with either a medulloblastoma tumor or CNS embryonal tumors of the brain or spinal cord. The standard approach to the treatment of these brain tumors in young children may include surgery, radiation therapy to the brain and spinal cord and chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is the use of high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy means treatment with cancer killing drugs. This research study will compare two different treatment regimens to see which is better for treating children with this type of brain cancer.

Phase: Phase III

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Children

Conditions: Central Nervous System (CNS) Germ Cell Tumors

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
