Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of combining palbociclib with either irinotecan or topotecan chemotherapy in children, adolescents, and young adults with solid tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 2-21 with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, including specific types like Ewing sarcoma. They must have a certain level of physical ability, adequate organ function, measurable disease, and not be pregnant. Those with severe allergies to the drugs used or serious health issues are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Palbociclib combined with chemotherapy (Temozolomide/Irinotecan or Topotecan/Cyclophosphamide) to find the safest high dose in phase 1 and its effectiveness compared to just chemo in phase 2 for Ewing sarcoma.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include low blood cell counts leading to infection risk, fatigue, nausea, liver issues, diarrhea. There's also a chance of allergic reactions to the medications used.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is the current research endeavor accepting applicants who are 50 or older?

"This medical trial requires that patients be aged between two and twenty years old. Clinicaltrials.gov currently lists 969 trials for minors, while 3906 studies are recruiting senior citizens."

Answered by AI

Is it possible for me to register as a participant in this research endeavor?

"This trial is recruiting 184 minors aged 2-20 with neuroblastoma. Additional inclusion criteria include: histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory solid tumors (including CNS but not lymphomas); for EWS-specific cohorts, histopathology confirmation of both EWSR1-ETS and FUS-ETS rearrangements; a Lansky performance status ≥50% for patients ≤16 years old, ECOG 0/1/2 for those >16; absolute neutrophil count ≥1000mm3, platelet count ≥100000 mm3 without transfusions in the past week; hemoglobin at 8.5 g/dL"

Answered by AI

To what extent is this research endeavor accommodating participants?

"To complete the trial, Pfizer requires 184 participants that meet all of the study's criteria. The pharmaceutical company will host enrolment at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick and Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack."

Answered by AI

How many establishments have adopted this trial protocol?

"As of now, this clinical trial is seeking 76 participants and can be found in several locations such as Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New jersey. Additionally, there are many other venues where the study is actively recruiting patients."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment for this trial still open?

"As per the information available on clinicaltrials.gov, recruitment for this medical investigation is ongoing and began on May 24th 2019 with a refresh of data posted in September 25th 2022."

Answered by AI

Has Palbociclib been subject to any other investigations?

"At the current time, Palbociclib is the subject of 1398 clinical trials worldwide. Of these studies, 255 are at Phase 3 with Philadelphia, Pennsylvania playing host to the bulk of them. Globally 47991 medical centres have begun research into this drug's efficacy and safety."

Answered by AI

Has Palbociclib been confirmed by the FDA?

"Due to its Phase 2 status, the safety of Palbociclib was rated a 2 on our 3-level scale as there is some data indicating it is safe but no information that demonstrates efficacy."

Answered by AI

What medical conditions can be treated by Palbociclib?

"Palbociclib is a powerful pharmaceutical that can assist in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) as well as progression disease, multiple sclerosis, and acute myelocytic leukemia."

Answered by AI

What key findings are researchers hoping to glean from this research?

"The primary end-result of this trial, which will be evaluated within a period spanning at least 28 days after the last dosage, is to measure phase 1 dose limiting toxicities. Secondary objectives include observing irinotecan and its active metabolites' pharmacokinetics; referring to maximum observed plasma concentration during steady state dosing intervals (Css, max) in both Phase 1 and 2 trials as data permits; and determining overall survival rate from enrollment date till death due to other causes (OS). Additionally, measurement of area under the concentration-time curve during steady state dosing intervals (AUCss,t) for multiple doses can"
