Cabo/Ifos in Ewing Sarcoma and Osteosarcoma (CaIRS trial)

This study enrolls patients between 5 and 40 years of age with a diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma (including Ewing-like sarcoma) or osteosarcoma 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)

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

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

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

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)

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: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

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