COG AGCT1531 - A Phase 3 Study of Active Surveillance for Low Risk and a Randomized Trial of Carboplatin vs. Cisplatin for Standard Risk Pediatric and Adult Patients with Germ Cell Tumors

This partially randomized phase III trial studies how well active surveillance, bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, or cisplatin work in treating pediatric and adult patients with germ cell tumors. Active surveillance may help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors after their tumor is removed. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, 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.

ANBL2131/MT2024-35- A Phase 3 Study of Dinutuximab Added to Intensive Multimodal Therapy for Children with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma

This phase III trial tests how well adding dinutuximab to induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgery radiation and stem cell transplantation works for treating children with newly diagnosed high risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found in greater than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This helps cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, temozolomide, irinotecan and isotretinoin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing or by stopping them from spreading. During induction, chemotherapy and surgery are used to kill and remove as much tumor as possible. During consolidation, very high doses of chemotherapy are given to kill any remaining cancer cells. This chemotherapy also destroys healthy bone marrow, where blood cells are made. A stem cell transplant is a procedure that helps the body make new healthy blood cells to replace the blood cells that may have been harmed by the cancer and/or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is also given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of induction.

PEPN2312; A Phase 1 study of GRN163L (Imetelstat, IND# 170891, NSC# 754228) in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is in second or greater relapse or that is refractory to relapse therapy; myelodysplastic syndrome or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia in first or greater relapse or is refractory to relapse therapy

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Imetelstat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine may work better in treating patients with refractory or recurrent AML, MDS, and JMML.

COG AGCT1532 - A Randomized Phase 3 Trial of Accelerated versus Standard BEP Chemotherapy for Patients with Intermediate and Poor-risk Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors (P3BEP)

This trial is an open label, randomized, stratified 2-arm Australian-led multicenter phase 3 clinical trial undertaken in two stages. Participants (age >= 11 years and <= 45 years) with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumors will be randomized into either a “standard BEP” group or “accelerated BEP” group. Participants will be assigned to the two treatment arms in a 1:1 ratio and evaluated weekly, and then for 5 years after completing the study to assess the long-term effects of the chemotherapy. Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin (BEP) administered 3-weekly x 4 remains standard 1st line chemotherapy for intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours (GCTs). BEP is accelerated by cycling Cisplatin and etoposide 2-weekly instead of 3-weekly. The aim of this study is to determine if accelerated BEP is superior to standard BEP as first-line chemotherapy for intermediate and poor risk metastatic GCTs.

Determinants of Renal Structural Responses to Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) in Fabry Disease Study (LDN6702)

The effect of enzyme replacement therapy on how well your kidneys are responding to enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is not clear from blood and urine tests alone, but may be more clear in comparisons of kidney biopsies performed before and some time after ERT has been initiated, and this is what we are focusing our study efforts on. The purpose of this study is to obtain your permission to allow us to study the kidney biopsy tissues (collected for medical reasons) after the regular routine studies have been completed. Through our special research measurements and additional study, we hope to be able to see and measure very specific changes in the kidney tissues from Fabry patients taking ERT. We also hope that through these studies of what happens within the kidney before and after starting ERT, we are able to reveal valuable information about the importance of factors like your age that you started ERT, the amount or dosage of ERT, and any differences seen between males and females.

The TrialNet Natural History Study of the Development of Type 1 Diabetes

TrialNet is an international research group dedicated to the study, prevention, and early treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is now understood as a disease that develops over time in stages. Stage 1 starts with the appearance of having two or more autoantibodies. This is followed by Stage 2, which is the development of abnormal blood glucose levels. Stage 3 is the clinical diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. This study will help us learn more about how Type 1 diabetes occurs through the screening of diabetes-related autoantibodies and monitoring individuals who have tested positive for these autoantibodies.

COG AALL2121: A Phase 2 study of SNDX-5613 in combination with chemotherapy for patients with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-rearranged infant leukemia

This phase II trial tests the safety and best dose of revumenib when given together with chemotherapy, and how well the treatment regimen works for infants and young children with leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and is associated with a KMT2A (MLL) gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R). Revumenib is an oral medicine that directly targets the changes that occur in a cell with a KMT2A rearrangement and has been shown to specifically kill these leukemia cells in test tubes and animals. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, prednisone, asparaginase, fludarabine and cytarabine work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial is being done to find out if the combination of revumenib and chemotherapy may help to treat the cancer cells better than either treatment alone.

MT2022-27: TRANSPIRE: Lung Injury in a Longitudinal Cohort of Pediatric HSCT Patients

People planning to undergo a bone marrow transplant and are at risk for developing problems with the lungs related to this planned therapy. The types and seriousness of lung problems that may develop after transplant can be very different and currently, we don’t exactly know what risk factors influence who develops them or how they may respond to therapy. Also, we do not know what the best test is to monitor lung function after transplant, especially in children and young adults. The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what is the best method for diagnosing lung problems and following how well the lungs are working. In this study, clinical information, laboratory results and imaging findings will be collected from medical records to assist researchers in learning more about lung complications after bone marrow transplant.

MT2019-09: A randomized trial of low versus moderate exposure busulfan for infants with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) receiving TCR alpha beta +/CD19+ depleted transplantation: A Phase II study by the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) and Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium (PBMTC) PIDTC CSIDE Protocol (CSIDE)

We want to study if lower doses of a chemotherapy drug called busulfan will help babies with SCID achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants.

A Phase 1/2a Open-Label Dose-Ranging and Observer-Blind Placebo-Controlled, Safety and Immunogenicity Study of mRNA-1647 Cytomegalovirus Vaccine in Female and Male Participants 9 to 15 Years of Age; mRNA-1647-P104

This study it to test an investigational vaccine called mRNA-1647 that is being developed for preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people. CMV is a common virus that can spread easily through an infected person’s saliva or other body fluids such as blood, urine, and breast milk. We want see if the trial vaccine can prevent CMV infection in participants who have not been previously infected, to understand the safety (how many side effects you may have) of the trial vaccine, and to see if the trial vaccine results in participants making antibodies to CMV.

MT2015-25: Tandem Myeloablative Consolidation Therapy and Autologous Stem Cell Rescue for High-Risk Neuroblastoma

The primary purpose of this study is to gain information, especially disease free outcomes, using the tandem approach as compared to the historical information of using a single transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery and how patients are doing at 3 months and 1 year after the treatment. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

AHOD2131, A Randomized Phase 3 Interim Response Adapted Trial Comparing Standard Therapy with Immuno-oncology Therapy for Children and Adults with Newly Diagnosed Stage I and II Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma

This phase III trial studies brentuximab vedotin and combination chemotherapy to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating children and young adults with stage IIB with bulk, stage IIIB, IVA, or IVB Hodgkin lymphoma. Combinations of biological substances in brentuximab vedotin may be able to carry cancer-killing substances directly to Hodgkin lymphoma cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vincristine sulfate, etoposide, prednisone, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without brentuximab vedotin in treating children with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma.

Increasing HPV vaccination coverage among pediatric, adolescent, and young adult (PAYA) cancer survivors: A multilevel intervention

The purpose of this research is to test the efficacy of different interventions to increase vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV). Survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancers are at increased risk of developing HPV-associated secondary cancers, but have lower HPV vaccination coverage compared to the general population. Interventions which are found to be successful in this study will be incorporated into future survivorship care to improve adherence to recommend preventive healthcare practices. All research procedures will be conducted remotely (e.g. online).
