Vorinostat and Isotretinoin in Treating Patients With High-Risk Refractory or Recurrent Neuroblastoma...

Localized Unresectable NeuroblastomaRecurrent Neuroblastoma3 more

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of vorinostat when given together with isotretinoin to see how well it works in treating patients with high-risk refractory or recurrent neuroblastoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Isotretinoin may help vorinostat work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving vorinostat together with isotretinoin may be an effective treatment for neuroblastoma.

Racotumomab in Patients With High-risk Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma

This clinical trial will be carried out in children diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma that have achieved a complete or very good partial response after standard therapy. An additional cohort of children who could not achieve these response criteria or that relapsed after standard therapy but do not have progressive disease will receive Racotumomab together with metronomic chemotherapy. The main objectives of this study are to determine the immune response after one-year duration immunization with Racotumomab, to describe the response of Racotumomab therapy in minimal residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow and to describe the toxicity profile of Racotumomab.

Lorvotuzumab Mertansine in Treating Younger Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Wilms Tumor, Rhabdomyosarcoma,...

Pleuropulmonary BlastomaRecurrent Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor4 more

This phase II trial studies how well lorvotuzumab mertansine works in treating younger patients with Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, pleuropulmonary blastoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), or synovial sarcoma that has returned or that does not respond to treatment. Antibody-drug conjugates, such as lorvotuzumab mertansine, are created by attaching an antibody (protein used by the body?s immune system to fight foreign or diseased cells) to an anti-cancer drug. The antibody is used to recognize tumor cells so the anti-cancer drug can kill them.

A Phase I Study of Vorinostat and Bortezomib in Children With Refractory of Recurrent Solid Tumors,...

LymphomaSarcoma2 more

Background: - Vorinostat and bortezomib are anti-tumor drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat different kinds of myeloma and lymphoma in adults. The combination of these two drugs has been tried in a small number of adults, but it has not been formally approved and is experimental, particularly in children. Researchers are interested in determining safe and effective treatment doses of vorinostat and bortezomib in children, and learning more about how these drugs affect tumor growth and human development. Objectives: To determine safe and effective doses of vorinostat and bortezomib to treat solid tumors in children. To study the effects of vorinostat and bortezomib on blood cells, blood flow, and human development. Eligibility: - Children, adolescents, and young adults between 1 and 21 years of age who have been diagnosed with solid tumors that have not responded to treatment. Design: Eligible participants will be screened with a physical examination, blood and tumor samples, and imaging studies. Participants will have 21-day treatment cycles of vorinostat and bortezomib. Vorinostat will be given as either tablets or liquid doses on days 1 through 5 and 8 through 12 of each cycle. Bortezomib will be given as an intravenous injection on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of each cycle. Participants will keep a drug administration diary to record information about side effects or other problems with the treatment. Participants may continue to receive vorinostat and bortezomib for up to 2 years unless serious side effects develop or the tumor does not respond to treatment. Additional blood samples will be taken at regular intervals for the first 3 days after the first bortezomib dose and for the first 2 days after the first vorinostat dose of the first treatment cycle.

Anti-GD2 3F8 Antibody and Allogeneic Natural Killer Cells for High-Risk Neuroblastoma

NeuroblastomaBone Marrow1 more

Funding Source - FDA OOPD FDR004128 The goal of this study is to see if it is safe and feasible to give chemotherapy, natural killer (NK) cells, and an antibody called 3F8. The NK cells must come from a family member who shares half of the HLA proteins which are immune proteins important in transplant. NK cells are a type of white blood cell. They can recognize and kill abnormal cells in the body and can work together with antibodies to kill target cells. The antibody 3F8 specifically recognizes a protein present on the target cancer cell.

Therapy to Treat Ewing's Sarcoma, Rhabdomyosarcoma or Neuroblastoma

NeuroblastomaSarcoma5 more

Background: Pediatric solid tumors (Ewing's sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and neuroblastoma) are often difficult to cure with standard treatment. Immune therapy using an experimental vaccine made from proteins from the patient's tumor cells may boost the body's immune response against the tumor. The effects of chemotherapy on the immune system can potentially make immunotherapy more effective if administered soon after completion of chemotherapy. The addition of recombinant human IL-7 (interleukin 7) (rhIL-7 (recombinant human interleukin 7)) may make the immunotherapy more effective. Objectives: -To determine whether immune therapy given after immune suppression can help the body fight the tumor and to determine the safety of the treatment. Eligibility: -Patients with solid tumors, i.e., Ewing's sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma or neuroblastoma whose disease has recurred after treatment or spread beyond the original site Design: Patients undergo tumor biopsy (removal of a piece of tumor tissue) to collect tumor cells for making a vaccine from proteins in the patient's tumor and apheresis (removal of a quantity of white blood cells) to collect white cells for re-building the immune system after immune therapy. Apheresis is repeated three times during immunotherapy (weeks 8, 14 and 20). After receiving standard chemotherapy for their tumor (and an additional course of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide to further suppress immunity if needed) patients receive immune therapy in Cohorts A and B. rhIL-7 is given 48 hours before the vaccine, as an injection under the skin in an extremity that will not be used for the vaccine in patients in Cohort B only. You will be watched closely for 6 hours after the rhIL-7 for any signs of reaction. rhIL-7 will be given before vaccine doses #1, #2, #3, and #4. The vaccine is given at study weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Each vaccine is given as a total of six separate rhIL-7 followed by injections: three intradermal (like a (tuberculosis) TB test) on one arm or leg and three subcutaneous (like those for insulin injections for diabetes). on the other arm or leg. An anesthetic cream may be used to minimize the discomfort of injections. Patients' white cells are returned to them by infusion through a vein on the first day of immune therapy. Imaging studies and immune studies are done at weeks 1, 8 and 20 to determine the response to treatment on the tumor and on the immune system.

Comparing Two Different Myeloablation Therapies in Treating Young Patients Who Are Undergoing a...

Localized Resectable NeuroblastomaLocalized Unresectable Neuroblastoma4 more

This randomized phase III trial compares two different high-dose chemotherapy regimens followed by a stem cell transplant in treating younger patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. 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 combination chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill any tumor cells that are in the body and helps make room in the patient?s bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. High-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the high- chemotherapy. It is not yet known which regimen of high-dose chemotherapy is more effective for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma undergoing a peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
