Solid Tumor Treatment with MLN4924, Temozolomide and Irinotecan – Phase I

Protocol Description

Through this Children’s Oncology Group (COG) study, researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of drug pevonedistat (MLN4924) used along with two other drugs to fight recurrent tumors and tumors that will not respond to standard therapy. Pevonedistat, which has shown potential in the laboratory tests and in other tests, will be given in combination with temozolomide and irinotecan. As a Phase I cancer trial, this program evaluates the effects of the drug on tumors, as well as its side effects and how the body processes it. This study is an initiative of COG’s Pediatric Early Phase Clinical Trial Network of which UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is a part.
