Isolated limb infusion (ILI) is a way to give anticancer drugs directly into an arm or leg to treat a sarcoma. However, despite this treatment, sometimes the cancer still spreads to other parts of the body. In this study, researchers want to see if adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to ILI treatment with the chemotherapy drugs melphalan and dactinomycin can help prevent the spread of cancer and increase the effectiveness of the ILI treatment in people with advanced sarcoma.

Wilms tumor the most common type of kidney cancer in children. Favorable tissue (histology) Wilms tumors (FHWT) are the most common subtype.

Researchers want to see how well revumenib works when given with chemotherapy to treat infant leukemia. The children in this study have acute leukemia that came back or keeps growing even after treatment. The leukemia has a gene rearrangement (genetic change) called KMT2A-R.

Researchers are assessing the use of cobimetinib to treat Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and other histiocytic disorders. Histiocytic disorders are diseases caused by the abnormal function or buildup of immune cells called histiocytes. Cobimetinib works by blocking the activity of a protein called MEK. This protein leads to the abnormal growth and development of histiocytosis cells.

The purpose of this study is to establish a registry of patients with a rare disease called pediatric-onset opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (POOMAS). POOMAS affects the brain, spinal cord, and other nerves. Its exact cause is unknown, though a small number of patients with neuroblastoma may have this condition.

This study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combination chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy in children and young adults with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms' tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms' tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed).

Studies have shown that patients with newly diagnosed localized non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) of the brain or spinal cord whose disease responds well to chemotherapy before receiving radiation therapy are more likely to be free of the disease for a longer time than patients in whom chemotherapy is less effective.
