RRx-001 Given With Irinotecan and Temozolomide for Pediatric Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Malignant Solid and Central Nervous System Tumors

NCT04525014

Description:

The PIRATE study tests the experimental drug RRx-001 in combination with 2 chemotherapy drugs that are commonly used in patients with cancer. RRx-001 has been used alone and with other anti-cancer medicines in adults. However, the investigators do not know what effects it will have in children and young adults.

Purpose

The PIRATE study tests the experimental drug RRx-001 in combination with 2 chemotherapy drugs that are commonly used in patients with cancer. RRx-001 has been used alone and with other anti-cancer medicines in adults. However, the investigators do not know what effects it will have in children and young adults.

Detailed Description

      The goals of the PIRATE study are:

        -  Determine if the adult dose of RRx-001 is safe when given together with 2 chemotherapy
           drugs called irinotecan and temozolomide in children and young adults with
           previously-treated cancerous tumors

        -  Determine the side effects of RRx-001 in children and young adults when given together
           with irinotecan and temozolomide

        -  Understand if the combination of RRx-001, irinotecan, and temozolomide is helpful for
           children and young adults with previously-treated cancerous tumors

        -  In patients with brain tumors, measure if RRx-001 causes changes in the tumor on
           Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

        -  Determine if RRx-001 causes changes in the immune system which may help the body
           naturally fight the tumor
