Pediatric Solid Tumors Clinical Trials
Showing 1-13 of 13 items
1.
Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Young Patients With Newly Diagnosed Liver Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether surgery is more effective with or without chemotherapy or which chemotherapy regimen may be more effective in treating young patients with liver cancer. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying the side effects of giving doxorubicin hydrochloride together with combination chemotherapy and to compare different chemotherapy regimens to see how well they work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed liver cancer.
Diagnoses:
Pediatric Solid Tumors
Status:
Recruiting

Crizotinib in Treating Young Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors or Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
RATIONALE: Crizotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of crizotinib and to see how well it works in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors or anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Phase I dose-escalation study to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LDE225 given orally on a daily dosing schedule in children with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma, or other tumors potentially dependent on Hedgehog signaling pathway. Phase II study is to assess preliminary efficacy in both adult and pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory MB.

INCB18424 in Treating Young Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumor, Leukemia, or Myeloproliferative Disease
RATIONALE: INCB18424 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of INCB18424 in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumor, leukemia, or myeloproliferative disease.

6.
Ipilimumab in Young Patients With Advanced or Refractory Solid Tumors
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with advanced or refractory solid tumors,

Dose Escalation Study of Sorafenib and Irinotecan Combination Therapy in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors
The purpose of this study is to determine the safest and most effective oral dose combinations of sorafenib and irinotecan in pediatric patients with solid tumors, i.e. relapsed or refractory.
Diagnoses:
Pediatric Solid Tumors
Status:
Recruiting
8.
Collecting and Storing Malignant, Borderline Malignant Neoplasms, and Related Samples From Young Patients With Cancer
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue, blood, and bone marrow from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This study is collecting and storing malignant, borderline malignant neoplasms, and related biological samples from young patients with cancer.
Diagnoses:
Pediatric Solid Tumors

9.
Study of Late-Occurring Complications in Childhood Cancer Survivors
RATIONALE: A patient's genes may affect the risk of developing complications, such as congestive heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and second cancer, years after undergoing cancer treatment. Genetic studies may help doctors identify survivors of childhood cancer who are more likely to develop late complications. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying cancer survivors to identify those who are at increased risk of developing late-occurring complications after undergoing treatment for childhood cancer.

A Study of Vemurafenib in Pediatric Patients With Stage IIIC or Stage IV Melanoma Harboring BRAFV600 Mutations
This open-label, multicenter. single arm Phase I dose-escalation study with efficacy tail extension will evaluate the maximum tolerated dose/recommended dose, the safety and efficacy of vemurafenib (RO5185426) in pediatric patients (aged 12 through 17) with newly diagnosed or recurrent surgically incurable and unresectable Stage IIIC or Stage IV melanoma harboring BRAFV600 mutations. Patients will receive vemurafenib orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Cabazitaxel in Pediatric Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors Including Central Nervous System Tumors
Primary Objective: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cabazitaxel as a single agent in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors including tumors of the central nervous system. Secondary Objectives: - To characterize the safety and tolerability of cabazitaxel in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors including tumors of the central nervous system. - To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of cabazitaxel in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors including tumors of the central nervous system. - To evaluate preliminary anti-tumor activity that may be associated with cabazitaxel in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors including tumors of the central nervous system.

The Study to Determine Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Oral Dabrafenib In Pediatric Subjects
This is a 2-part, study to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of oral dabrafenib in pediatric subjects with advanced BRAF V600 mutation-positive solid tumors. Part 1 (dose escalation study) will identify the recommended Part 2 (tumor-specific expansion study) dose and regimen using a dose-escalation procedure. Approximately 6 to 18 subjects will participate in Part 1 and will receive a starting dose of 3 mg/kg and dose will deescalate or escalate between 1.5 milligram (mg)/kilogram (kg) and 4.5 mg/kg. Up to 6 subjects will be enrolled at one dose level dependent upon the number of subjects at the current dose level, the number of subjects who have experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) at the current dose level, and the number of subjects enrolled but with data pending at the current dose level. Escalation may proceed until either a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is established, or until the dose in which the median pharmacokinetic parameters consistent with exposure in adults are achieved. Cohorts may be added in order to evaluate additional dose levels. Part 2 consists of four disease-specific cohorts of subjects with tumors known to have BRAF V600 activation (pediatric low-grade gliomas, pediatric high-grade gliomas, Langerhans cell histiocytosis [LCH], and other tumors such as melanoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma [PTC]). Each cohort will enroll at least 10 subjects with a pre-dose and at least 1 post-dose disease assessment. In both the parts of the study, on Day 1, a single first dose will be administered, and repeat dosing will begin on Day 2. PK sampling will be performed on Day 1 and Day 15 for subjects >=25 kg in weight. For subjects <25 kg in weight, blood samples for PK analysis will be collected after repeated administration on Day 15 only. Safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the study. Treatment with dabrafenib will be continued until disease progression or until no clinical benefit or development of an unacceptable toxicity, or until they withdraw consent or begin a new therapy. At the end of treatment, a final study visit will occur.
