Doctors want to know if giving emapalumab as upfront pre-treatment works well for people with severe acquired aplastic anemia (sAA). This medication is given after diagnosis, but before standard sAA treatment. In people with sAA, stem cells are destroyed and the body cannot make new blood cells.

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.

In this study, researchers are assessing the safety of the drug lurbinectedin in young people with solid tumors. In the first part, they will find the highest dose of lurbinectedin to use safely in children with solid tumors. If your child joins, this is the part of the study they will be in.

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 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.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues in the body. Researchers in this study are comparing different chemotherapy-based treatments for children and young adults with very low-risk RMS, low-risk RMS, and RMS with DNA mutations, with treatment tailored to the predicted aggressiveness of each patient's cancer. The standard chemotherapy drugs participants will receive include vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide.

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.

Daunorubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin are different chemotherapy drugs used to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML). CPX-351 is made up of daunorubicin and cytarabine. It is created in a way that makes the drugs stay in the bone marrow longer and could be less likely to cause heart problems than traditional anthracycline drugs, a common class of chemotherapy drugs used in cancer care.

The standard treatment for poor-risk and intermediate-risk germ cell tumors (GCTs), such as testicular cancer, is chemotherapy with the drugs bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (abbreviated BEP) given every three weeks. In this study, researchers want to see if giving BEP chemotherapy every two weeks is more effective for controlling tumor growth than the standard regimen in patients with metastatic intermediate-risk and poor-risk GCTs.
