Enrollment on the Childhood Cancer Research Network (CCRN) of the Children s Oncology Group
Not Recruiting
More
Background:
- The Children s Oncology Group has established a research network, the Childhood Cancer
Research Network (CCRN), to collect information about children with cancer and other
conditions that are benign but involve abnormal cell growth in order to help doctors and
scientists better understand childhood cancer. The CCRN's goal is to collect clinical
information about every child diagnosed with cancer and similar conditions in the United
States and Canada, to allow researchers to study patterns, characteristics, and causes of
childhood cancer. The information can also help researchers study the causes of childhood
cancer. To expand the CCRN, parents of children who have been diagnosed with cancer will be
asked to provide information about themselves and their child for research purposes.
Objectives:
- To obtain informed consent from parents (and the child, when appropriate) of infants,
children, adolescents, and young adults newly diagnosed with cancer to enter their names
and certain information concerning their child into the Childhood Cancer Research
Network.
- To obtain informed consent from parents (and the child, when appropriate) of infants,
children, adolescents, and young adults newly diagnosed with cancer for permission to be
contacted in the future to consider participating in non-therapeutic and prevention
research studies involving the parents and/or the child.
Eligibility:
- Parents of children who have been seen at or treated by a hospital that is a member of the
Children s Oncology Group.
Design:
- Parents will provide permission to have personal information sent from their child s
hospital to the CCRN, including the child and parents' names; child's gender, birth
date, race, and ethnicity; information about the disease; and the treating institution.
- Parents will also give permission for CCRN to contact the diagnostic laboratory to
obtain specific information about the tumor or cancer cells.
- Parents will be asked if they are willing to be contacted in the future to consider
participating in CCRN research studies, and will provide contact information (name, home
address, and telephone number) to be entered in the CCRN.
- Parents or patients who change their minds about having information available in the
CCRN can ask the treatment institution to restrict access to the identifying
information. Parents or patients who refuse to have information included in the CCRN or
be contacted in the future will still be able to enter clinical cancer research studies.

Maintenance Chemotherapy or Observation Following Induction Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Ependymoma
Recruiting
More
The primary aim of this randomized phase III trial was to study whether the addition of
maintenance chemotherapy delivered after surgical resection and focal radiation would be
better than surgery and focal radiation alone. The trial also studied if patients who
received induction chemotherapy and then either achieved a complete response or went on to
have a complete resection would also benefit from maintenance chemotherapy. Children ages
1-21 years with newly diagnosed intracranial ependymoma were included. There were 2 arms that
were not randomized. One arm studied patients with Grade II tumors located in the
supratentorial compartment that were completely resected. One arm studied patients with
residual tumor and those patients all received maintenance chemotherapy after focal
radiation. Chemotherapy drugs, such as vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide,
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. Giving
more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy
uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a
high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage
to normal tissue. Giving chemotherapy in combination with radiation therapy may kill more
tumor cells and allow doctors to save the part of the body where the cancer started.

prevent the tumor from growing back. To do this, they need more information about the
characteristics of neuroblastoma cells. Therefore, they want to study samples of
neuroblastoma tissues and neuroblastoma and normal cells in the blood and bone marrow that
may be related to the growth of neuroblastoma cells. Doctors and other medical scientists
also want to find better ways to detect and measure neuroblastoma to improve the ability to
follow the response of tumor cells to therapy.

Risk-Adapted Therapy for Young Children With Embryonal Brain Tumors, Choroid Plexus Carcinoma, High Grade Glioma or Ependymoma
Not Recruiting
More
RATIONALE: In this study a combination of anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapy) is used to treat
brain tumors in young children. Using chemotherapy gives the brain more time to develop
before radiation is given. The chemotherapy in this study includes the drug methotrexate.
This drug was an important part of the two clinical trials which resulted in the best
survival results for children less than 3 years of age with medulloblastoma. Most patients
treated on this trial will also receive radiation which is carefully targeted to the area of
the tumor. This type of radiation (focal conformal or proton beam radiotherapy) may result in
fewer problems with thinking and learning than radiation to the whole brain and spinal cord.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together
with radiation therapy works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed central nervous
system tumors.

Comparing Two Different Myeloablation Therapies in Treating Young Patients Who Are Undergoing a Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Neuroblastoma
Not Recruiting
More
This randomized phase III trial compares two different high-dose chemotherapy regimens
followed by a stem cell transplant in treating younger patients with high-risk neuroblastoma.
Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either
by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving combination chemotherapy
before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs
to be removed. Giving these treatments before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps
kill any tumor cells that are in the body and helps make room in the patient?s bone marrow
for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. After treatment, stem cells are collected
from the patient's blood and stored. High-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy is then
given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then
returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the high-
chemotherapy. It is not yet known which regimen of high-dose chemotherapy is more effective

Pazopanib Paediatric Phase II Trial Children's Oncology Group (COG) in Solid Tumors
Not Recruiting
More
The study design was an open-label Phase II pediatric clinical study. The purpose of Study
X2203 was to identify any efficacy signal in subjects with the disease subtypes under study,
when treated with pazopanib monotherapy. Furthermore, it was to define the toxicities of
pazopanib in children, as well as examine biological markers, e.g. cytokines and angiogenic
factors, that could help further characterize any response of pazopanib in children.
Pazopanib was administered as monotherapy in tablet and powder suspension formulations at
daily doses of 450 mg/m2/dose or 225 mg/m2/dose, respectively. The first 6 enrolled subjects
receiving oral suspension formulation were assessed for tolerability and extended PK
sampling; and, only if pazopanib was tolerated, subsequent subjects were enrolled at the same
starting dose with the suspension. Dose escalation was not permitted. For the tablet, a
dosing nomogram was used based on the subject's BSA. Dose reduction was dependent upon the
toxicity of pazopanib and disease status of the infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and
young adults. Subjects could be as young as 1 year-old infants to screen for enrollment.
Subjects were assessed for initial response after 8 weeks of treatment prior to Cycle 3. A
cycle was defined as 28 days of pazopanib treatment with no rest period between cycles.
Treatment was administered continuously once daily. Treatment was to be discontinued if there
was evidence of disease progression, unacceptable treatment-related toxicity, pregnancy.
Histological classification was an important diagnostic inclusion in these subjects with a
wide variety of refractory solid tumors, i.e. 7 different tumor types and each being a
cohort.

Development of Radiation Free Whole Body Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging Technique for Staging Children With Cancer
Recruiting
More
A research study on the diagnosis of spread of disease for children who have been diagnosed
with solid tumors using a new whole body imaging technique and a new MR contrast agent
(ferumoxytol). Standard tests that are used to determine the extent and possible spread of a
child's disease include magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, computed tomography (CT), Positron
Emission Tomography (PET) as well as bone scanning, and metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)
scanning. The purpose of this study is to determine if newer imaging tests referred to as
whole body diffusion-weighted MR and whole body PET/MR can detect the extent and spread of
the disease as accurately or even better as the standard tests (CT, MR and/or PET/CT). The
advantage of the new imaging test is that it is associated with no or significantly reduced
radiation exposure compared to standard CT and PET/CT imaging tests. The results of whole
body MR and PET/MR will be compared with that of the conventional, standard imaging studies
for tumor detecting.

Observation, Radiation Therapy, Combination Chemotherapy, and/or Surgery in Treating Young Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Not Recruiting
More
This phase III trial is studying observation to see how well a risk based treatment strategy
works in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. In the study, patients are assigned to receive
surgery +/- radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy depending on their risk of recurrence. Sometimes,
after surgery, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case,
observation may be sufficient. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide and doxorubicin, work in different ways to
stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from
dividing. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller
and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments
after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

Bortezomib, Ifosfamide, and Vinorelbine Tartrate in Treating Young Patients With Hodgkin's Lymphoma That is Recurrent or Did Not Respond to Previous Therapy
Not Recruiting
More
This phase II trial studies the side effects and efficacy of bortezomib with ifosfamide and
vinorelbine in children and young adults with Hodgkin's lymphoma that was recurrent or did
not respond to previous therapy. Bortezomib is an inhibitor of protein degradation.
Bortezomib degrades short-lived regulatory proteins in the cell, and has been reported to
increase the tumor cells. Bortezomib may increase the effectiveness of ifosfamide and
vinorelbine (two standard drugs given to children with Hodgkin Lymphoma that has come back
after initial treatment) by making cancer cells more sensitive to effectiveness of standard
chemotherapy by preventing anti-death responses in these drugs. Giving bortezomib together
with ifosfamide and vinorelbine tartrate should kill more cancer cells than are killed with
ifosfamide and vinorelbine alone.
