Study Description

VICTORY is an early phase study for patients under 25 years who have a type of brain tumor called low grade glioma (LGG) that coms back or gets worse (recurrent or progressive). To participate on this study, the LGG must have certain genetic changes called CRAF or BRAF alterations.

The study has two parts:

Phase A: We are figuring out the best dose of a combination of two medicines, vinblastine and tovorafenib. Patients will take these medicines for a certain number of months, then just tovorafenib for a few more months. Their progress will be checked regularly with scans.

Phase B: After we find the right dose in Phase A, we'll test how well the combination of these drugs works. Patients will take these medicines for a certain number of months, then just tovorafenib for a few more months. Their progress will be checked regularly with scans.

Patients will be in the study for about two years unless their tumor gets worse (disease progression), they have bad side effects or they decide to withdrawal from the study.

Inclusion Criteria

• Patients must be less than or equal to 25 years of age at the time of enrollment
• Patient and/or their parent/guardian must sign an informed consent form to be enrolled on study
• Patients must have a diagnosis of low grade glioma (LGG) with a genetic alteration called BRAF or CRAF alteration that has come back (recurrent) or not responded to previous treatment (progressive)
• Patients must have completed at least 1 other therapy prior to enrollment on this study and recovered from its effects.
• Patients must have adequate performance status (daily activities which they are able to do) 
• Must have adequate organ function in bone marrow, kidneys, liver, heart and thyroid
• Willingness of male and female patients with reproductive potential to use double effective birth control methods, defined as one used by the patient and another by his/her partner, for the duration of treatment and for 180 days following the last dose of study drug. 
• Ability to swallow tablets or liquid, or gastric access via a nasal or gastric tube.

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

Study Description

This clinical trial studies the side effects of a medication called CLR131. This medication is a targeted radiopharmaceutical, which means it acts like radiation therapy, but is given intravenously as an infusion. 

CLR 131 is designed to target cells with cancer rather than cells without cancer. The main goal of this study is to determine what is the safe amount of medication to give to children with cancer that has come back or is not responding to treatment.

Inclusion Criteria

• Age between 10 and 25 years
• High Grade Glioma that has come back (relapse) or not improved despite treatment (progression)
• Must meet all bloodwork requirements
• Patient must be up and about at least 60% of their waking hours
• Patient must be willing to comply with study visit requirements and sign a consent form 

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

Study Description

This study looks to assess if additional intensive treatment for patients with medulloblastoma and other embryonal brain tumors improves outcomes without adding significant short or long-term side effects. 

Inclusion Criteria

Patients 10 years of age of less with a diagnosis of medulloblastoma or CNS embryonal tumors of the brain or spinal cord. Any stage of medulloblastoma or CNS embryonal tumor in children less than 6 years old are eligible, whereas only high risk patients from 6-10 years of age are eligible. 

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

Study Description

The study's purpose is to see if the drug, abemaciclib, is safe and effective when given with other drugs to kill cancer cells. The study is open to children and young adults with solid tumors, including neuroblastoma, that did not respond or grew during other anti-cancer treatment.

Inclusion Criteria

• Participants must be ≤ 18 years of age (Part A and B only) or < 21 years of age (Part C only)
• Must have adequate body surface area (BSA)
• Participants must have a solid tumour (excluding lymphoma) that has come back or progressed on standard therapies
• PART C ONLY: Participants with neuroblastoma that has come back or progressed on standard therapies
• Participants must be able to be up and about for at least half of their waking hours
• Participants of reproductive potential must not be pregnant within 7 days of and during the study
• Ability to swallow
• Participants and their families (as applicable) must agree to the study assessments by signing an informed consent form

Study Description

(As seen on the Australian & New Zealand Childrens Haematology/Oncology Group website - https://anzchog.org/clinic-trails/connect-1903-a-pilot-and-surgical-study-of-larotrectinib-for-treatment-of-children-with-newly-diagnosed-high-grade-glioma-with-ntrk-fusion/ )

Recent research shows that a new oral tablet drug, larotrectinib, has produced promising results by shrinking some solid tumours that have an abnormal or mutated NTRK gene in adults and children.

High grade gliomas (HGG) are fast growing, aggressive brain cancers and if they recur after initial treatment, there are no effective treatment options. This study will investigate if larotrectinib alone as well as Larotrectinib  in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy can  be of benefit in children with high grade gliomas with the mutated NTRK gene. This international trial will study how well the drug is tolerated and its effectiveness to shrink these tumours when used alone or when given with standard chemotherapy or after radiation.

• Patient must be 21 years old or younger and newly diagnosed with high grade glioma (HGG)
• The tumour must have a genetic anomaly called an NTRK fusion for the patient to qualify
• Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

In this study, researchers want to find out if

• they can improve treatment for participants with newly diagnosed diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumour (DAWT). In hopes of finding a better therapy to fight against the cancer, participants will be given chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy in this study. The chemotherapy drugs that participants will be receiving are often given to fight against cancer and together, the treatment is known as Regimen UH-3. This study looks at how well Regimen UH-3 works when given to children and young adults with newly diagnosed DAWT.
• they can improve treatment for participants with "standard risk" favourable histogy Wilms tumour (FWHT) that has come back (relapsed). In hopes of finding a better therapy to fight against the cancer, participants will be given chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy in this study. The chemotherapy drugs that participants will be receiving are often given to fight against cancer and together, the treatment is known as Regimen UH-3. This study looks at how well Regimen UH-3 works when given to children and young adults with "standard risk" favourable histogy Wilms tumour (FWHT) that has come back (relapsed).
• they can improve treatment for participants with "high-risk or very high-risk" favourable histogy Wilms tumour (FWHT) that has come back (relapsed). In hopes of finding a better therapy to fight against the cancer you have, participants will be given chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy in this study. The chemotherapy drugs that participants will be receiving are often given to fight cancer and together, the regimen is known as Regimen ICE/Cyclo/Topo. This study looks at how well this regimen works when given to children and young adults with "high-risk or very high-risk" favourable histogy Wilms tumour (FWHT) that has come back (relapsed).

Drugs used in chemotherapy regimens work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Inclusion Criteria

• Age less than 30 years
• New diagnosis of diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumour
• OR a diagnosis of Wilms tumour at first relapse (tumour that has come back, and must have been "favourable histology" at initial diagnosis)
• Patient must be capable of all self care - such that they are out of bed >50% of day
• Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team

Study Description

This trial studies how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.


Inclusion Criteria

• Patients must be newly diagnosed with hepatic malignancies (liver cancers) such as hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma
• Patients must be under 30 years of age 
• All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent
