Afamitresgene Autoleucel in Pediatric Subjects with MAGE-A4 Positive Tumors

This study involves an investigational cellular therapy called Afamitresgene Autoleucel. The overall goal of this study is to find out how safe and effective this cellular therapy is in treating people that have been diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), neuroblastoma or osteosarcoma that has grown or returned after being treated.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neuroblastoma, Osteosarcoma (bone cancer in children), Soft tissue sarcomas

GD2CART for Osteosarcoma or Neuroblastoma

This study enrolls patients that have been diagnosed with osteosarcoma or neuroblastoma that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to standard treatments (refractory). This study involves an investigational cellular therapy called GD2CART. The study will be testing different doses of the study drug to find the safest dose.

Phase: Phase I

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neuroblastoma, Osteosarcoma (bone cancer in children)

NEPENTHE - Next Generation Personalized Neuroblastoma Therapy

This is a clinical trial for patients with neuroblastoma that has returned (relapsed) or has not responded to standard treatment. The patients will have a biopsy of their tumor that will be tested for genetic changes and then matched to available drugs. If the results from the testing show molecular features in the tumor that allow for study treatment, patients will be invited for further testing to see if they are eligible for new treatments. Experimental therapies are all taken orally and may consist of one drug or a combination of drugs

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Conditions: Neuroblastoma

Neurofibromatosis 1 Optic Glioma's - Understanding the mechanisms of Vision Loss for Visual Restoration Strategies

In this study we are seeking to learn how different eye tests and devices can help understand vision in patients with NF1, including how vision loss might show up on different eye imaging devices that measure the nerves or the blood vessels of the eye. The study aims to understand the mechanisms of vision loss caused by neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated optic pathway gliomas, or NF1-OPGs. Subjects eight years and older with NF1 are eligible to enroll.
Subjects may not benefit directly from participating in this study, but the knowledge gained will help doctors understand the potential benefit of using these tests and other procedures to improve their ability to identify the best tests to monitor visual function, and ultimately identify treatments to improve vision, in children and adults with NF1.

Phase: N/A

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neurofibromatosis type 1

Palbociclib, Irinotecan, and Temozolomide in Ewing Sarcoma

The purpose of the Phase 2 portion of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug called palbociclib when given in combination with two other drugs (temozolomide and irinotecan) in patients with Ewing sarcoma and when given in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in patients with neuroblastoma.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Neuroblastoma
