Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of two different combinations of drugs for treating pediatric and young adult cancer patients who have not responded to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults up to age 21 with solid tumors, including neuroblastoma, that haven't improved after treatment. They must be able to swallow pills, have a body weight over 10 kg, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and agree to use contraception. Those with certain other health conditions or treatments are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of abemaciclib combined with other anti-cancer drugs (Irinotecan, Temozolomide, Dinutuximab, GM-CSF) in participants who have cancer that's resistant to previous treatments. The trial will last up to two years per participant.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system's response to the drugs which can affect various organs; gastrointestinal issues like nausea and diarrhea; blood-related problems such as anemia; fatigue; and potential increased risk of infections.
