Active clinical trials for "Histiocytosis, Langerhans-Cell"

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well ivosidenib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have IDH1 genetic alterations (mutations). Ivosidenib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in an important signaling pathway called the IDH pathway.

This is a research study of a drug called cobimetinib in children and adults diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), and other histiocytic disorders that has returned or does not respond to treatment. Cobimetinib blocks activation of a protein called Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) that is part of incorrect growth signals in histiocytosis cells. Four different groups of patients will be enrolled.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease caused by clonal expansion, proliferation, and dissemination of cells that are phenotypically close to Langerhans cells in different tissues and organs. The clinical presentation of LCH varies greatly from one solid bone tumor to multisystem lesion that involves liver, spleen and bone marrow. The basis of LCH is the clonal proliferation of the pathological cells. These cells express CD1a and CD207 markers on their surface and originate from myeloid progenitors. The main event in life circle of these cells is the MEK-ERK cascade mutation. The most common mutation is the substitution of valine for glutamic acid in position 600 of BRAF gene. The influence of this mutation was confirmed by G.Badalyan-Very et al. in 2010. About 64% of all LCH are caused by clonal proliferation due to BRAF V600E mutation. Despite generally good results of therapy of monosystemic LCH, the treatment of LCH with risk organs lesion is still a challenge: 5-years survival is as low as 40-50%. Combination of cytarabine and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine was supposed to improve the results, but the cost was a very high toxicity, that limits the application of the regimen in patients with severe infections. Currently, there is a lot of information on BRAF V600E inhibitors in patients with LCH and other histiocytic disorders. Most of them report the dramatic efficacy of BRAF V600E inhibitors but after quick effect patients usually burden minimal disease activity ("plateau" effect). However, discontinuation of the therapy results in quick disease reactivation. Considering this a trial that combines targeted therapy (vemurafenib) and low-dose chemotherapy (cytarabine and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine) in order to achieve complete response with manageable toxicity is proposed.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) of bone is a benign-tumor-like osteolytic lesion in childhood and adolescence, which is characterized by the aberrant activation of antigen presenting cells. Rather than the multi-system involvements of LCH, no standard or widely-accepted therapeutic regimens were established for LCH of bone. In the previous clinical practice, several LCH patients obtained remarkable pain relief after taking prednisone. Therefore, the investigators aim to conducting a multi-center, open-labelled, randomized-controlled, Phase II study to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral prednisone in treating LCH of bone in children and adolescents. The enrolled patients will be randomly recruited to the following groups: (1) Oral prednisone [Test group); (2) Regular observation [Control group].

This is a research study among patients with Rosai-Dorfman disease.

This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well vemurafenib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with BRAF V600 mutations that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Vemurafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well palbociclib works in treating patients with Rb positive solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with activating alterations (mutations) in cell cycle genes that have spread to other places in the body and have come back or do not respond to treatment. Palbociclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth.

This research study is evaluating a drug called clofarabine as a possible treatment for Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) and and other histiocytic disorders.

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tazemetostat works in treating patients with brain tumors, solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have come back (relapsed) or do not respond to treatment (refractory) and have EZH2, SMARCB1, or SMARCA4 gene mutations. Tazemetostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EZH2 and its relation to some of the pathways needed for cell proliferation.
