Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor

This study tests a drug called alisertib in children and young adults (up to age 22) with rare, aggressive tumors called atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT) in the brain or malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) elsewhere in the body. For patients whose cancer has come back or not…

This study tests two immunotherapy drugs, tiragolumab and atezolizumab, in children and adults with rare cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. These cancers lack certain genes (SMARCB1 or SMARCA4), making them hard to treat. The goal is to see if the drug com…

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment for children and young adults up to age 21 with certain brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells, which are modified in a lab to recognize and attack a pro…

This expanded access program provides tazemetostat, a drug that blocks a protein called EZH2, to adults with serious or life-threatening solid tumors that have lost the INI1 or SMARCA4 protein. Eligible patients must have tried other treatments without success and cannot join a f…

This phase 2 trial is testing two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, in children and young adults with rare INI1-negative cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. The study aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.…

This study tests whether giving three rounds of very strong chemotherapy with stem cell rescue works better than one round for children under 10 with high-risk brain tumors. The goal is to improve survival without adding too many side effects. About 250 children will take part.

This clinical trial tests a risk-adapted approach for young children with newly diagnosed brain tumors. The treatment starts with chemotherapy to delay radiation, giving the brain more time to develop. Then, radiation is carefully targeted to the tumor area to reduce side effects…

This study tests a combination of three drugs—tazemetostat, nivolumab, and ipilimumab—in children with rare tumors that lack the INI1 or SMARCA4 proteins. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the drugs can shrink tumors. About 49 children with specific tumor types are being…

This early-phase study tests whether specially engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) can be safely given directly into the brain or spinal fluid of children and young adults with HER2-positive brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy a…

This study tests a special proton radiation method for children with brain tumors that need radiation to the brain and spine. The new approach spares parts of the backbone to reduce side effects like low blood counts and slowed bone growth. About 20 children aged 3 to 18 will rec…
