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).
-
The purpose of this study is to compare two different approaches to surgery for children and adults with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that has spread (metastasized) to the lungs. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two techniques:
-
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.
-
Researchers in this study are seeking the best dose of CBL0137 in people with solid tumors. They also want to see how well it works against certain cancers.
-
Researchers are seeking the best dose of CABA-201 to treat people with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). The people in this study have IIM, juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (JIIM), or myositis. With JIIM and some subtypes of IIM, B cells make the body to attack different tissues, causing inflammation and muscle weakness.

Researchers are assessing a new combination therapy for neuroblastoma that has a high chance of coming back after treatment. This study is for children with high-risk neuroblastoma who have not gotten more than 1 chemotherapy cycle.
-
Researchers want to find the best schedule for giving a new vaccine to people with neuroblastoma. The people in this study have neuroblastoma that is in remission (no signs of cancer). In addition, their cancers have a strong chance of coming back (high risk). The vaccine is given with a naturally occurring substance called beta-glucan.

Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a substance taken up specifically by neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, or paraganglioma tumor cells. MIBG can be combined with radioactive iodine (<sup>131</sup>I) in the laboratory to form the radioactive compound <sup>131</sup>I-MIBG. The <sup>131</sup>I-MIBG compound concentrates more in cancer cells than in normal cells. It may therefore deliver more radiation directly to cancer cells while sparing normal organs.

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug PC14586 that can be given in patients with solid tumors that came back or continue to grow despite prior therapy and contain a mutation in the TP53 gene. The p53 protein produced by this gene normally tells cells when to stop dividing, but when TP53 is altered (mutated), cancer may result.
