Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorders (The Pediatric MATCH Screening Trial)
This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) Dose-Escalation Study for Brain Metastasis (SRS)
SRS dose escalation for brain metastases in radiation-naïve patients will establish true
tolerable doses, which may exceed the current standard doses. This may lead to an improvement
in local control, patient survival, and/or quality-of life.
Inclusion Criteria
• Biopsy-proven non-hematopoietic malignancy, except for small cell lung cancer, germ
cell cancer, or unknown primary tumor.
• Radiographic evidence by MRI (or by CT scan with CT contrast if ineligible or
intolerant of MRI) of brain metastasis. (If patient is unable to tolerate MRI
contrast, an MRI without contrast is acceptable if lesions are visible)
• All brain metastases must be outside the brain stem (midbrain, pons and medulla).
• Patient must have 10 or less brain metastases.
• The maximum diameter of any lesion must be less than or equal to 3.0 cm.
• Previous treatment with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or any
targeted agents are allowed provided that:
• Radiation was not to the brain.
• Surgery to the brain was > 7 days prior to SRS and there remains at least one
additional brain metastasis that can be targeted with SRS
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• ECOG Performance Score of 2 or better/Karnofsky Performance Status score of 50-60 or
better.
• All men, as well as women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate
contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study
entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or
suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her
treating physician immediately.
A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation,
marital status, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice)
who meets the following criteria:
• Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
• Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e.,
has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
• Patients had craniotomy and surgery to the brain within 7 days from the date of SRS.
• Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis.
NOTE: For the purposes of exclusion, LMD is a clinical diagnosis, defined as positive
CSF cytology and/or equivocal radiologic or clinical evidence of leptomeningeal
involvement. Patients with leptomeningeal symptoms in the setting of leptomeningeal
enhancement by imaging (MRI) would be considered to have LMD even in the absence of
positive CSF cytology, unless a parenchymal lesion can adequately explain the
neurologic symptoms and/or signs. In contrast, an asymptomatic or minimally
symptomatic patient with mild or nonspecific leptomeningeal enhancement (MRI) would
not be considered to have LMD. In that patient, CSF sampling is not required to
formally exclude LMD, but can be performed at the investigator's discretion based on
level of clinical suspicion.
• Patients with a contraindication to both MRI (with or without contrast) and CT scan
(with contrast)
• Patients with life expectancy < 3 months.
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the
investigator, would limit compliance with study requirements.
• Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing at the time of SRS treatment due to the
potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm
nursing infants.

A Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Pediatric Participants With an Advanced Solid Tumor or Lymphoma (MK-3475-051/KEYNOTE-051)
This is a two-part study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in pediatric participants who have any of
the following types of cancer:
- advanced melanoma (6 months to <18 years of age),
- advanced, relapsed or refractory programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive malignant
solid tumor or other lymphoma (6 months to <18 years of age),
- relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (rrcHL) (3 years to <18 years of age),
or
- advanced relapsed or refractory microsatellite-instability-high (MSI-H) solid tumors (6
months to <18 years of age).
Part 1 will find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD), confirm
the dose, and find the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for pembrolizumab therapy. Part 2 will
further evaluate the safety and efficacy at the pediatric RP2D.
The primary hypothesis of this study is that intravenous (IV) administration of pembrolizumab
to children with either advanced melanoma; a PD-L1 positive advanced, relapsed or refractory
solid tumor or other lymphoma; advanced, relapsed or refractory MSI-H solid tumor; or rrcHL,
will result in an Objective Response Rate (ORR) greater than 10% for at least one of these
types of cancer.

• Tissue (or lymph node biopsy for rrcHL participants) available from an archival tissue
sample or, if appropriate, a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor
lesion not previously irradiated
• Advanced melanoma or PD-L1-positive advanced, relapsed, or refractory solid tumor or
lymphoma
• Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1 (Or based on IWG [Cheson, 2007] [i.e.,

participants)
• Participants with neuroblastoma with only metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)-positive
evaluable disease may be enrolled
• Lansky Play Scale ≥50 for participants from 6 months up to and including 16 years of
age; or Karnofsky score ≥50 for participants >16 years of age
• Adequate organ function
• Female participants of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum
pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication
• Female participants of childbearing potential must be willing to use 2 methods of
contraception or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the
course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication
• Male participants of reproductive potential must agree to use an adequate method of
contraception starting with the first dose of study medication through 120 days after
the last dose of study medication
Exclusion Criteria:
• Currently participating and receiving study therapy in, or has participated in a study

Safety Study of Cord Blood Units for Stem Cell Transplants
Background:
- Cord blood is blood that is taken from the umbilical cord and placenta of healthy newborns
after childbirth. The cord blood collected from a baby is called a cord blood unit. Cord
blood units are stored frozen in public cord blood banks. About 10,000 cord blood
transplants have been performed in children and adults for blood cancers and other diseases
in the world. These transplants have helped save lives and improve treatments. However, not
all available units of cord blood have been collected, stored, and licensed according to
specific government requirements. These unlicensed units can still be used in transplant,
but they can only be given as part of specific research studies. This study will evaluate
the safety of giving these unlicensed units by recording any problems that may occur during
and after giving the cord blood.
Objectives:
- To test the safety and effectiveness of unlicensed cord blood units in people who need
stem cell transplants.
Eligibility:
- Individuals who are scheduled to have a stem cell transplant.
Design:
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam.
- Participants will receive the cord blood unit as part of their stem cell transplant
procedure. The transplant will be performed according to the current standard of care
for the procedure.
- After the transplant, participants will be monitored for up to 1 year. Any problems or
side effects from the transplant will be treated as necessary. All outcomes will be
reported to the National Cord Blood Program and to the Center for International Blood
and Marrow Transplant.

Tagraxofusp in Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory CD123 Expressing Hematologic Malignancies
Tagraxofusp is a protein-drug conjugate consisting of a diphtheria toxin redirected to target
CD123 has been approved for treatment in pediatric and adult patients with blastic
plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). This trial aims to examine the safety of this
novel agent in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies.
The mechanism by which tagraxofusp kills cells is distinct from that of conventional
chemotherapy. Tagraxofusp directly targets CD123 that is present on tumor cells, but is
expressed at lower or levels or absent on normal hematopoietic stem cells. Tagraxofusp also
utilizes a payload that is not cell cycle dependent, making it effective against both highly
proliferative tumor cells and also quiescent tumor cells.
The rationale for clinical development of tagraxofusp for pediatric patients with hematologic
malignancies is based on the ubiquitous and high expression of CD123 on many of these
diseases, as well as the highly potent preclinical activity and robust clinical
responsiveness in adults observed to date.
This trial includes two parts: a monotherapy phase and a combination chemotherapy phase. This
design will provide further monotherapy safety data and confirm the FDA approved pediatric
dose, as well as provide safety data when combined with chemotherapy.
The goal of this study is to improve survival rates in children and young adults with
relapsed hematological malignancies, determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of
tagraxofusp given alone and in combination with chemotherapy, as well as to describe the
toxicities, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic properties of tagraxofusp in pediatric
patients.
About 54 children and young adults will participate in this study. Patients with Down
syndrome will be included in part 1 of the study.
