The iCat2, GAIN (Genomic Assessment Informs Novel Therapy) Consortium Study
This research study is evaluating the use of specialized testing of solid tumors including
sequencing. The process of performing these specialized tests is called tumor profiling. The
tumor profiling may result in identifying changes in genes of the tumor that indicate that a
particular therapy may have activity. This is called an individualized cancer therapy (iCat)
recommendation. The results of the tumor profiling and, if applicable, the iCat
recommendation will be returned.

Cisplatin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children and Young Adults With Hepatoblastoma or Liver Cancer After Surgery
This partially randomized phase II/III trial studies how well, in combination with surgery,
cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with
hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin,
doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan,
sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor
cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells than one type of
chemotherapy alone.

A Study to Measure How a New Method for Dosing Vincristine in Infants and Young Children Compares to the Standard Dosing Method in Older Children
This early phase I trial compares a new method for dosing vincristine in infants and young
children to the standard dosing method based on body size in older children. Chemotherapy
drugs, such as vincristine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either
by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The
same dose of a drug cannot be given to all children because they vary a lot in size from
infancy to adolescence. The dose of most anticancer drugs is based on a measure of body size
called the body surface area (BSA). BSA is calculated from a patient's weight and height.
However, infants and young children have more severe side effects if the BSA is used to
calculate their dose, so adjustments have to be made to safely give anticancer drugs to the
youngest patients. A new method for dosing anticancer drugs in infants and young children has
been developed that uses body size to determine the dose. Collecting blood samples over time
may help researchers understand how the new vincristine dosing method affects drug levels in
the blood over time in infants and young children compared to older children.

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.

Bosutinib in Pediatric Patients With Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase or Resistant/Intolerant Ph + Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
This is a Phase 1-2, multicenter, international, single-arm, open-label study designed to
identify a recommended dose of bosutinib administered orally once daily in pediatric patients
with newly diagnosed chronic phase Ph+ CML (ND CML) and pediatric patients with Ph+CML who
have received at least one prior TKI therapy (R/I CML), to preliminary estimate the safety
and tolerability and efficacy, and to evaluate the PK of bosutinib in this patient
population.
Inclusion criteria Phase 1 (R/I patients only)
1. Cytogenetic and molecular diagnosis of Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML[2] at
either time of initial CML diagnosis or at time of study screening:
Cytogenetics must be performed by chromosome banding analysis (CBA) of bone marrow
cell metaphases, and requires at least 20 metaphases.
Only if dividing marrow cells cannot be obtained, or if there is an insufficient
number of metaphases, CBA can be substituted by interphase fluorescence in situ
hybridization (IFISH) of bone marrow or peripheral blood cells, using dual color dual
fusion probes, that allow the detection of BCR-ABL+ nuclei; at least 200 nuclei should
be counted.
Qualitative RT-PCR should be performed on RNA extracted from freshly collected bone
marrow or peripheral blood cells. It identifies the transcript type, either e14a2 or
13a2 (also known as b3a2 and b2a2), or much more rarely e19a2, or e1a2, indicating the
BCRABL protein weight (P210, rarely P230 or P190).
2. Resistance (suboptimal response or failure, as defined by 2013 European Leukemia Net
guidelines[3]) or intolerance (with or without suboptimal response or failure) to at
least one prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) The 2013 European LeukemiaNet
guidelines[3] will be used to define suboptimal response and failure to prior TKI
therapy. Details are provided in appendices 3 (intolerance or failure after one TKI)
and 4 (Failure after more than one TKIs).
Intolerance to prior TKI therapy will be determined by the treating investigator, but
generally applies to patients who are unable to receive standard or reduced doses of a
TKI due to significant drug-related toxicity and/or when the drug-related toxicity is
not responding to appropriate medical management. Patients who enroll as a result of

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

Active Surveillance, Bleomycin, Etoposide, Carboplatin or Cisplatin in Treating Pediatric and Adult Patients With Germ Cell Tumors
This phase III trial studies how well active surveillance help doctors to monitor subjects
with low risk germ cell tumors for recurrence after their tumor is removed. When the germ
cell tumors has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered
metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and
cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the
cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The trial studies
whether carboplatin or cisplatin is the preferred chemotherapy to use in treating metastatic
standard risk germ cell tumors.

A Study of a New Way to Treat Children and Young Adults With a Brain Tumor Called NGGCT
This phase II trial studies the best approach to combine chemotherapy and radiation therapy
(RT) based on the patient's response to induction chemotherapy in patients with
non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) that have not spread to other parts of the brain
or body (localized). This study has 2 goals: 1) optimizing radiation for patients who respond
well to induction chemotherapy to diminish spinal cord relapses, 2) utilizing higher dose
chemotherapy followed by conventional RT in patients who did not respond to induction
chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, and thiotepa,
work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by
stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high
energy x-rays or high-energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Studies have
shown that patients with newly-diagnosed localized NGGCT, whose disease responds well to
chemotherapy before receiving radiation therapy, are more likely to be free of the disease
for a longer time than are patients for whom the chemotherapy does not efficiently eliminate
or reduce the size of the tumor. The purpose of this study is to see how well the tumors
respond to induction chemotherapy to decide what treatment to give next. Some patients will
be given RT to the spine and a portion of the brain. Others will be given high dose
chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant before RT to the whole brain and spine. Giving
treatment based on the response to induction chemotherapy may lower the side effects of
radiation in some patients and adjust the therapy to a more efficient one for other patients
with localized NGGCT.

Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention Among Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors, the StepByStep Study
This phase III trial compares a multi-component mobile health and social media physical
activity intervention versus wearing a physical activity tracker alone among adolescent and
young adult childhood cancer survivors. Regular physical activity helps maintain healthy
weight, energy levels, and health. Adolescents and young adults who complete treatment for
cancer are often less active. They may gain weight and have more health problems compared to
people the same age who have not had treatment for cancer. Comparing the 2 programs will help
researchers learn how to increase physical activity levels over time and also how changes in
physical activity levels affect health and quality of life over time.
