Solid Tumor and Lymphoma Treatment with PI3K – Phase I/II

Protocol Description

Through this multi-center Children’s Oncology Group study, researchers are evaluating the effects of the drug copanlisib for participants suffering from cancer that has returned or did not respond to standard treatments. Researchers will be evaluating dosage amounts, drug tolerability and whether tumors respond to copanlisib. Approved for adults with certain cancers, copanlisib targets and blocks phospho-inositol-3-kinase (PI3K), an enzyme that contributes to growth of tumor cells.

Study Level: Phase I/II

The Phase II study is accepting patients with confirmed neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, or Ewing sarcoma. The age range for participants is 6 months to 21 years.
Males and Females: Ages 6 months to 21 years
