Relapsed Solid TumorRefractory Solid Tumor4 morePhase 1: To confirm the safety and anticipated recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of REGN2810 (cemiplimab) for children with recurrent or refractory solid or Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of REGN2810 given in children with recurrent or refractory solid or CNS tumors Phase 2 (Efficacy Phase): To confirm the safety and anticipated RP2D of REGN2810 to be given concomitantly with conventionally fractionated or hypofractionated radiation among patients with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) To confirm the safety and anticipated RP2D of REGN2810 given concomitantly with conventionally fractionated or hypofractionated radiation among patients with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma (HGG) To confirm the safety and anticipated RP2D of REGN2810 given concomitantly with re-irradiation in patients with recurrent HGG To assess PK of REGN2810 in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed DIPG, newly diagnosed HGG, or recurrent HGG when given in combination with radiation To assess anti-tumor activity of REGN2810 in combination with radiation in improving overall survival at 12 months (OS12) among patients with newly diagnosed DIPG To assess anti-tumor activity of REGN2810 in combination with radiation in improving progression-free survival at 12 months (PFS12) among patients with newly diagnosed HGG To assess anti-tumor activity of REGN2810 in combination with radiation in improving overall survival at OS12 among patients with recurrent HGG
Study of Lenalidomide With Vorinostat in Pediatric Patients With High Grade or Progressive CNS Tumors...
Central Nervous System TumorsIndependently, both lenalidomide and vorinostat have shown promising activity in pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors. These are both agents that are not typically part of first-line studies, although both agents are of serious interest and are currently in clinical trials for further investigation. This study is to evaluate the combination of lenalidomide and vorinostat in high grade or progressive central nervous system tumors in children.
O(6)-Benzylguanine and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme That Did Not...
Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as O(6)-benzylguanine and temozolomide, 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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving O(6)-benzylguanine together with temozolomide works in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme that did not respond to previous temozolomide and radiation therapy.
Nuclear Imaging of Human CSF Flow Using Ga-67 Citrate and In-111 DTPA
Central Nervous System TumorsBrain TumorsPrimary Objective will be to evaluate the use of Ga-67 citrate as an alternative radiopharmaceutical for CSF imaging. Secondary Objective will be to evaluate the biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and radiation dosimetry of In 111 DTPA and gallium-67 after intrathecal injection during remission of leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) and during LM occurrence, remission and recurrence.
Rosiglitazone in Treating Patients With Pituitary Tumors
Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsRATIONALE: Rosiglitazone may help pituitary adenoma cells become more like normal cells, and grow and spread more slowly. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well rosiglitazone works in treating patients with newly diagnosed or residual or recurrent pituitary adenoma.
Dietary, Herbal and Alternative Medicine in Glioblastoma Multiforme
Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsCerebral EdemaRATIONALE: Giving the herb Boswellia serrata after surgery and radiation therapy may slow the growth of any remaining tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving Boswellia serrata together with standard treatment is more effective than standard treatment alone in treating high-grade gliomas. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is the study of a combination of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) herbal supplement intervention as an adjuvant to standard treatment of patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGG). The central hypothesis of this application is that a herbal preparation that inhibits 5-LO activity, will produce measurable biologically meaningful decrease in 5-LO eicosanoid production and brain edema that will be associated with improved survival and quality of life in patients with HGG.
Topotecan, G-CSF, and Radiation Therapy in Treating Young Patients With Newly Diagnosed Brain Stem...
Brain TumorsCentral Nervous System TumorsRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Topotecan may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy . Giving topotecan and G-CSF together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for brain stem glioma. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of topotecan when given together with G-CSF and radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed brain stem glioma.
Indium In 111 Pentetreotide in Treating Patients With Refractory Cancer
Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsChildhood Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis10 moreRATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other sources to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of indium In 111 pentetreotide in treating patients who have refractory cancer.
Low-Dose Radiation and Combination Chemotherapy Following Surgery in Children With Newly Diagnosed...
Brain TumorsCentral Nervous System Tumors1 moreRATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells, but also damages normal cells in the developing brains of children. Combining low-dose radiation therapy in combination with chemotherapy should be effective in treating medulloblastoma while avoiding the long-term side effects of giving higher dose radiation to children with newly diagnosed average risk medulloblastoma.
Gene Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma...
Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsLymphoma2 moreRATIONALE: Gene therapy may improve the body's ability to fight cancer or make the cancer more sensitive to chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gene therapy together with chemotherapy in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
