Through this multi-center Children’s Oncology Group study, researchers are evaluating palbociclib, known by the trade name IBRANCE®, in combination with chemotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ) and irinotecan (IRN) in children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors. Researchers will be evaluating how the body processes the drug, side effects, therapeutic effects, and drug tolerance to determine optimal dosage levels.
