Metronomic and Targeted Anti-angiogenesis Therapy for Children With Recurrent/Progressive Medulloblastoma (MEMMAT)
Patients with relapsed medulloblastoma have a very poor prognosis whether treated with conventional chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue, irradiation or combinations of these modalities. Antiangiogenetic therapy has emerged as new treatment option in solid malignancies. The frequent, metronomic schedule targets both proliferating tumor cells and endothelial cells, and minimizes toxicity. In this study the investigators will evaluate the use of biweekly intravenous bevacizumab in combination with five oral drugs (thalidomide, celecoxib, fenofibrate, and alternating cycles of daily low-dose oral etoposide and cyclophosphamide), augmented with alternating courses of intrathecal etoposide and cytarabine. The aim of the study is to extend therapy options for children with recurrent or progressive medulloblastoma, for whom no known curative therapy exists, by prolonging survival while maintaining good quality of life. The primary objective of the MEMMAT trial is to evaluate the activity of this multidrug antiangiogenic approach in these heavily pretreated children and young adults. Additionally, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), as well as feasibility and toxicity will be examined.
August 25, 2020Modified Measles Virus (MV-NIS) for Children and Young Adults With Recurrent Medulloblastoma or Recurrent ATRT
This is a three arm Phase I study within the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC). This study will look to determine the safety and recommended phase 2 dose of the modified measles virus (MV-NIS) in children and young adults with recurrent medulloblastoma or atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT).

Auto Transplant for High Risk or Relapsed Solid or CNS Tumors
This is a standard of care treatment guideline for high risk or relapsed solid tumors or CNS tumors consisting of a busulfan, melphalan, thiotepa conditioning (for solid tumors) or carboplatin and thiotepa conditioning (for CNS tumors) followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant. For solid tumors, if appropriate, disease specific radiation therapy at day +60. For CNS tumors, the conditioning regimen and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant will be given for 3 cycles.
August 25, 2020Theranostics: 68GaDOTATOC and 90YDOTATOC (PRRT)
Participants in this research study have tumors that express somatostatin receptors such as a neuroendocrine tumor, medulloblastoma, meningioma, and neuroblastoma. The purpose of this research study is to determine if 90Y-DOTATOC is an effective treatment for tumors that express somatostatin receptors and if 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT can measure the extent of disease and measure response to this therapy. This research will determine if this process called dosimetry is an effective technique to determine how much 90Y-DOTATOC the participants can safely receive without damage to their kidneys and bone marrow.
August 20, 2020Safety of 68Ga-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide PET in Diagnosis of Solid Tumors (GA-68)
This protocol is designed to test the efficacy of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT in diagnosis, staging, and measurement of response to treatment in patients with somatostatin receptor positive tumors. Goals are to 1) compare this unique PET/CT scan with the current standard of care which is a combination of Octreoscan SPECT (single photon emission tomography) plus a high resolution, contrast enhanced CT; 2) Determine the sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT in diagnosis of patients with suspected somatostatin receptor positive tumor; and 3) For those patients who have had recent treatment (e.g., surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy such as anti-angiogenics, kinase inhibitors, peptide receptor radiotherapy), this scan will be used to measure response to treatment. These studies will be obtained with the long term goal of submitting a New Drug Application (NDA) for FDA approval of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT in adults and children.
August 20, 2020Dosimetry-Guided, Peptide Receptor Radiotherapy (PRRT) With 90Y-DOTA- tyr3-Octreotide (90Y-DOTATOC)
This is a Phase 2 peptide receptor radionuclide therapy trial of 90Y-DOTATOC in patients with somatostatin receptor positive tumors.

Dose Escalation Study of CLR 131 in Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Malignant Tumors Including But Not Limited to Neuroblastoma, Rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewings Sarcoma, and Osteosarcoma (CLOVER-2)
The study evaluates CLR 131 in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory malignant solid tumors and lymphoma and recurrent or refractory malignant brain tumors for which there are no standard treatment options with curative potential.
