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.
The Phase I part of the study is accepting participants with a solid tumor or lymphoma malignancy for which there is no standard treatment or where the standard treatment is no longer effective. 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
