Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of naxitamab, granulocyte macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM CSF) and Isofosfamide/Carboplatin/Etoposide (NICE) for Patients With Relapsed /Refractory, soft tissue or anti GD2 immunotherapy refractory Neuroblastoma
the primary histologic origin of extracranial solid tumors in children is malignant embryonic cells, including Neuroblastoma (NB) , Hepatoblastoma(HB), and kidney, wilms' tumor(WT). Their main clinical symptoms are large abdominal masses, the most common lymph node metastasis . NB accounts for 15% of childhood cancer deaths, but some low-risk NB can disappear on its own. The International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS) was used to determine Risk before NB treatment, whereas the INRGSS was entirely based on the Neuroblastoma diagnosis, illustrating the importance of imaging in the assessment of NB.18F-FDG is the most commonly used agent in PET imaging of tumor. It can reflect the glucose metabolism of tumor and is widely used in the diagnosis, staging, evaluation of curative effect and prognosis prediction of tumor In this study, the investigators retrospectively analyzed 18F-FDG PET/CT or PET/MRI images from patients with NB, HB, and WT. The investigators sought to assess whether these images provide useful information for diagnosis and prognosis.
This is an open-label, multi-center, single-arm, Phase 1 study. The purpose of this study is for evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics of dinutuximab beta as maintenance therapy in Chinese patients with high-risk neuroblastoma
Families of children with rare diseases (i.e., not more than 5 out of 10.000 people are affected) are often highly burdened with fears, insecurities and concerns regarding the affected child and his/her siblings. The aim of the present research project is to examine the psychosocial burden of the children with rare solid abdominal tumors and their family in order to draw attention to a possible psychosocial care gap in this population.
In this study, the main goal is to implement and evaluate a novel, evidence-based psycho-educative program for children in oncological care. Patients are provided with booklets tailored to each specific stage of their treatment. Among other factors, children's emotional well-being is evaluated as well as feasibility. The study is carried out at multiple sites across Austria, Germany and Italy/South Tirol.
To explore metabolic phenotypes of children with extra-cranial solid tumors and compare these with their histopathological and genetic alterations to discover potential novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets to improve outcomes in children with high risk disease.
This study proposes to investigate the effect of treatment of neuroblastoma on nutritional status, assessed by body mass index (BMI) z score, and body composition evaluated by mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), from diagnosis through 1-year post end of treatment. The study also aims to investigate the nutritional status and its role in toxicities, infection, survival rates, disease relapse, cost of care and readmission rates, as well as health-related quality of life. The study will take place in Sao Paolo in Brazil, where an estimated sample of 50 children with neuroblastoma will be recruited for the period of 2 years.
Approximately 90% of children with malignant brain tumors that have recurred or relapsed after receiving conventional therapy will die of disease. Despite this terrible and frustrating outcome, continued treatment of this population remains fundamental to improving cure rates. Studying this relapsed population will help unearth clues to why conventional therapy fails and how cancers continue to resist modern advances. Moreover, improvements in the treatment of this relapsed population will lead to improvements in upfront therapy and reduce the chance of relapse for all. Novel therapy and, more importantly, novel approaches are sorely needed. This trial proposes a new approach that evaluates rational combination therapies of novel agents based on tumor type and molecular characteristics of these diseases. The investigators hypothesize that the use of two predictably active drugs (a doublet) will increase the chance of clinical efficacy. The purpose of this trial is to perform a limited dose escalation study of multiple doublets to evaluate the safety and tolerability of these combinations followed by a small expansion cohort to detect preliminary efficacy. In addition, a more extensive and robust molecular analysis of all the participant samples will be performed as part of the trial such that we can refine the molecular classification and better inform on potential response to therapy. In this manner the tolerability of combinations can be evaluated on a small but relevant population and the chance of detecting antitumor activity is potentially increased. Furthermore, the goal of the complementary molecular characterization will be to eventually match the therapy with better predictive biomarkers. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: - To determine the safety and tolerability and estimate the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of combination treatment by stratum. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of combination treatment by stratum. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: - To estimate the rate and duration of objective response and progression free survival (PFS) by stratum.
