Study Description

(from https://forpatients.roche.com/en/trials/cancer/solid-tumors/tumor-agnostic-precision-immuno-oncology-and-somatic-ta-50851.html)

This clinical trial is recruiting people who have advanced solid tumors that cannot be surgically removed. You (or your child) must have had genetic testing on the solid tumors that shows a positive result for one of the genetic changes, also known as biomarkers, being tested in this trial.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the effects, good or bad, of different targeted therapies and immunotherapies in patients with solid tumors that cannot be surgically removed and show specific biomarkers.

To be able to take part in this clinical trial, you (or your child) must have been diagnosed with solid tumors that cannot be surgically removed and show one of the specific biomarkers that are being tested in this study:

• ROS1 fusion-positive tumors
• NTRK1/2/3 fusion-positive tumors
• TMB-high tumors
• ALK fusion-positive
• AKT1/2/3 mutant-positive tumors
• HER2 mutant-positive tumors
• PIK3CA multiple mutant-positive tumors
• BRAF class II mutant or fusion-positive tumors
• BRAF class III mutant-positive tumors
• RET fusion-positive tumors

Your doctor will be able to give you more information on the type of biomarker your solid tumors show. You must be otherwise in good health to take part. You will not be able to take part if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have received any recent treatment for your cancer. Some of the groups may have other specific requirements. Your doctor will be able to give you more information on this.

Inclusion Criteria

• Less than 18 years of age for cohort E and K
• Age between 12 and 17 years for cohorts E, F and H
• Diagnosis of advanced cancer that has spread to a different part of the body (metastasized) and can’t be removed by an operation (unresectable)
• Participants must be up and about at least 50% of their waking hours
• The cancer must have a specific genetic change in one of the following genes: ROS1, NTRK1/2/3, AKT, PIK3CA, HER2, BRAF, RET, or be TMB-high

Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

Patients on this study will receive 4 doses of a vaccine called SurVaxM. While vaccines are usually thought of as ways to prevent diseases, vaccines can also be used to treat cancer. SurVaxM is designed to tell the body's immune system to look for tumor cells that express a protein called survivin and destroy them. If the body's immune system knows to destroy cells that express survivin, it may help to control tumor growth and recurrence.

Inclusion Criteria

• Participant must have one of the following tumors that has progressed or come back: 
  • Medulloblastoma
  • Glioblastoma multiforme 
  • Anaplastic astrocytoma
  • High-grade astrocytoma, NOS
  • Anaplastic oligodendroglioma
  • Anaplastic ependymoma
  • Ependymoma 
  • Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG)
• Participant must be ≥ 1 year of age and ≤ 21 years of age at the time of screening.
• Participant or parent/guardian must be willing to sign a consent form and complete the study related assessments.
• Participants must have recovered from all previous cancer therapies. 
• Must be up and about for around 60% of the patient's waking hours
• Participants must meet all the blood work requirements 
• You cannot be pregnant or become pregnant on this study. If you are able to have children, you must use an acceptable form of birth control. Abstinence is included. 

Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply and will be discussed with you by the study team.

Study Description

PBTC-049 tests a drug called savolitinib to see how well it works in children with these tumors. This drug has not been studied in children. The hope is that this drug may be a more effective treatment for these types of brain tumors in children.

Therefore, the primary goals of the study are to:

• Determine which dose of savolitinib is safe for children
• Learn what effects (good or bad) may occur when patients take savolitinib
• Learn how the body processes savolitinib

Inclusion Criteria

• Patients with confirmed medulloblastoma, high-grade glioma, DIPG brain tumors, and other brain tumor types with a specific genetic marker, which continue to grow or have come back after the prior treatment may be eligible to participate.
• Patients must be between 5-21 years of age.
• Patients must have recovered from toxicities of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or any other treatment modality prior to entering this study.
• Pregnant women and nursing mothers are excluded from this study
• Patients or a parent/guardian must understand and sign a written consent form to participate
• Patients and/or their families must agree to the study visit requirements outlined in the consent form

Study Description

This study evaluates the safety of a type of treatment called HER2 CAR T cells (short for HER2 chimeric antigen receptor T cells). In addition to looking for side effects, we will study how well this treatment works against a brain tumor called ependymoma that has come back after treatment (recurrent) or has not responded well to treatment (progressive) in children. The HER2 CAR T cells used in this trial are made from the patient's own blood.

A new gene, called the HER2 CAR, will be inserted into patient's cells to allow them to recognize a protein on the tumor called HER2. These HER2-specific CAR T cells may be able to target and kill ependymoma tumors. This research is also studying how doable it is to provide this type of CAR T cell treatment to children being treated at different hospitals.

Inclusion Criteria

• Participants must have a diagnosis of ependymoma that is has come back or progressed.
• Patient must be ≥ 1 but ≤ 22 years of age at the time of enrollment for treatment.
• Participants must be up and about for 60% of their waking hours
• Patients must have received last dose of previous chemotherapy at least 21 days before enrollment.
• Patient must meet all organ function, bone marrow function and laboratory criteria
• The patient or parent/guardian can understand the consent and is willing to sign a written informed consent document according to institutional guidelines. Age- and developmentally appropriate assent should be obtained as required by institutional guidelines.

Additional inclusion and exclusion criteria applies and will be discussed with you by the study team.

Study Description

This study is part of a larger research project. The goal is to see if a new treatment called zilovertamab vedotin is safe and works well for children and young adults whose cancer has come back (relapsed) or did not get better with treatment (refractory).

The study is for patients with B-ALL (a type of leukemia that starts in the bone marrow and blood), DLBCL or Burkitt lymphoma (fast-growing blood cancers that affect the lymph nodes or organs), neuroblastoma (a cancer that starts in nerve cells, usually in young children), or Ewing sarcoma (a cancer of the bones or nearby tissue, often in children and teens).

Inclusion Criteria

• Participant must have one of the following diagnoses:
  • Blood cancers: children with a type of leukemia called B-ALL and children with certain fast-growing lymphomas (DLBCL or Burkitt lymphoma) OR
  • Solid tumors: children with neuroblastoma or children with Ewing sarcoma

Other inclusion or exclusion criteria may apply and will be discussed with you by the study team.

Study Description

This is a phase I/II trial that studies how well the treatments tiragolumab and atezolizumab work when given to children with tumours that have either come back (relapsed) or did not respond to therapy (refractory). These tumours must have a certain mutation, meaning the cancer cells are missing important genes called SMARCB1 and SMARCA4. Tiragolumab and atezolizumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Inclusion Criteria

Part A is now completed, Part B criteria now applies: 

• Participants must be between 1-18 years old for part A of this study. There is no upper age limit for part B
• Participants must have one of the following cancers, that has either come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory):
  • Renal medullary carcinoma
  • Malignant rhabdoid tumor (extra-CNS)
  • Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (CNS)
  • Poorly differentiated chordoma
  • Epithelioid sarcoma
• Cancer must have the eligible mutation (SMARCB1 or SMARCA4)
• Participants must be up and about for at least half their waking hours
• Participants must meet all bloodwork criteria outlined for this study

Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply and will be discussed with you by your clinical team
