22CT015: CART 19-22 co-administration

CAR T cell therapy has shifted the treatment landscape for pediatric and young adult patients with advanced B-cell leukemias. This study aims to treat patients with relapsed disease by administering two CART cell products, huCART19 and CART22-65s. The study will determine the safety and efficacy and usefulness of administering two CAR T cell products in patients with advanced B-cell leukemias.

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. 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 93 subjects will be enrolled on this clinical trial.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

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

Carfilzomib in ALL

CHOP, in collaboration with Onyx Therapeutics, Inc., is conducting a study for children and young adults up to 21 years old, with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This clinical trial is adding the study drug, Carfilzomib, to a standard relapse chemotherapy regimen. For more information about this study, including specific eligibility criteria, please visit clinicaltrials.gov and search for "NCT02303821". To hear more about this and other available trails or get any questions answered please contact our Cancer Intake Specialist by phone at 267-426-0762 or email Oncointake@email.chop.edu.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

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

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

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)
