Study Summary

This trial is studying pevonedistat, irinotecan, and temozolomide to see how well they work in treating patients with solid tumors, central nervous system tumors, or lymphoma that have come back or do not respond to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients (6 months to 21 years old) with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, CNS tumors, or lymphoma without curative therapy options. They must have measurable disease and be stable enough to participate. Prior treatment recovery and specific blood/organ function criteria are required. Pregnant individuals, those with severe health issues like uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart/lung diseases, liver impairment, bleeding disorders, or infections cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of Pevonedistat with Irinotecan and Temozolomide in treating resistant cancers. It aims to find the safest doses while assessing how these drugs might better halt cancer growth compared to existing treatments by blocking enzymes that cancer cells need.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system suppression such as increased infection risk; digestive issues like nausea and vomiting; fatigue; liver problems; hair loss from chemotherapy agents; and possible allergic reactions similar to other compounds in the drugs.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (pevonedistat, temozolomide, irinotecan)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive pevonedistat IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 10, and 12, temozolomide PO daily on days 8-12, and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 8-12 of cycle 1. Beginning cycle 2, patients receive pevonedistat IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5, temozolomide PO daily on days 1-5, and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for cycle 1 and 21 days for subsequent cycles for up to 17 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
