Patients less than or equal to 21 years old with high-risk hematologic malignancies who would likely benefit from allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Patients with a suitable HLA matched sibling or unrelated donor identified will be eligible for participation ONLY if the donor is not available in the necessary time. The purpose of the study is to learn more about the effects (good and bad) of transplanting blood cells donated by a family member, and that have been modified in a laboratory to remove the type of T cells known to cause graft-vs.-host disease, to children and young adults with a high risk cancer that is in remission but is at high risk of relapse. This study will give donor cells that have been TCRαβ-depleted. The TCR (T-cell receptor) is a molecule that is found only on T cells. These T-cell receptors are made up of two proteins that are linked together. About 95% of all T-cells have a TCR that is composed of an alpha protein linked to a beta protein, and these will be removed. This leaves only the T cells that have a TCR made up of a gamma protein linked to a delta protein. This donor cell infusion will be followed by an additional infusion of donor memory cells (CD45RA-depleted) after donor cell engraftment. This study will be testing the safety and effects of the chemotherapy and the donor blood cell infusions on the transplant recipient's disease and overall survival. Read Less

CAR19PK is a research study evaluating the use of lymphodepleting chemotherapy and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, a type of cellular therapy, for the treatment of refractory and/or relapsed leukemia. For this type of therapy, peripheral (circulating) immune cells are collected and then modified so that they can recognize an antigen, which is a particle present on the surface of a cancer cell. The CD19-CAR T cell product will be manufactured at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility. The main purpose of this study is to determine: * Evaluate different doses of fludarabine prior CAR T cell infusion * How your body processes fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, * How long the CAR T cells last in the body, * Whether or not treatment with this therapy is effective in treating people with refractory or relapsed leukemia, and * The side effects of this therapy.

The CD123-CAR T-cell therapy is a new treatment that is being investigated for treatment of AML/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), T- or B- acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasia (BPDCN). The purpose of this study is to find the maximum (highest) dose of CD123-CAR T cells that is safe to give to these patients. This would include studying the side effects of the chemotherapy, as well as the CD123-CAR T-cell product on the recipient's body, disease and overall survival. Primary Objective To determine the safety of one intravenous infusion of escalating doses of autologous, CD123-CAR T cells in patients (≤21 years) with recurrent/refractory CD123+ disease (AML/MDS, B-ALL, T-ALL or BPDCN) after lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Secondary Objectives To evaluate the antileukemia activity of CD123-CAR T cells. Exploratory Objectives * To assess the immunophenotype, clonal structure and endogenous repertoire of CD123-CAR T cells and unmodified T cells * To characterize the cytokine profile in the peripheral blood and CSF after treatment with CD123-CAR T cells * To characterize tumor cells post CD123-CAR T-cell therapy Read Less

This randomized phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is likely to come back or spread, and in patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-like tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitive mutations. Chemotherapy drugs, 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. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving the drugs in different doses and in different combinations may kill more cancer cells. Read Less

This study will treat participants with newly diagnosed, low, intermediate and high risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) using multi-modality risk-adapted therapy with standard or intensified dose chemotherapy, radiation and surgical resection. Intermediate and high risk participants will receive an additional 12 weeks (4 cycles) of maintenance therapy with anti-angiogenic chemotherapy. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: * Estimate event-free survival for intermediate risk participants treated with vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide with the addition of maintenance anti-angiogenic therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: * Estimate the false negative rate and incidence of additional positive lymph nodes in participants undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy followed by limited nodal dissection. * Maintain a high local control rate in participants treated with surgery and/or limited volume proton and photon radiation without dose escalation. * Define the incidence and type of failure in participants who receive risk-adapted local therapy relative to the primary tumor volume. * Establish the feasibility of delivering 4 cycles of maintenance anti-angiogenic chemotherapy in intermediate and high risk patients following standard chemotherapy. * Estimate the event free survival for high risk patients receiving interval dose compressed therapy and maintenance anti-angiogenic therapy. * Define the incidence of CTC grade 3 and higher toxicities (and specific grade 1-2 toxicities) related to proton beam therapy.

As of October 2022, no further patients with acute B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) will be asked to join the study. The study remains open for recruitment for patients that have B-cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Read Less

This phase III trial tests two hypotheses in patients with low-risk and average-risk medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the back of the brain. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Subjects with low-risk medulloblastoma typically have a lower chance of the cancer coming back than subjects with average-risk medulloblastoma. Although treatment for newly diagnosed average-risk and low-risk medulloblastoma is generally effective at treating the cancer, there are still concerns about the side effects of such treatment. Side effects or unintended health conditions that arise due to treatment include learning difficulties, hearing loss or other issues in performing daily activities. Standard therapy for newly diagnosed average-risk or low-risk medulloblastoma includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy (including cisplatin). Cisplatin may cause hearing loss as a side effect. In the average-risk medulloblastoma patients, this trial tests whether the addition of sodium thiosulfate (STS) to standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy reduces hearing loss. Previous studies with STS have shown that it may help reduce or prevent hearing loss caused by cisplatin. In the low-risk medulloblastoma patients, the study tests whether a less intense therapy (reduced radiation) can provide the same benefits as the more intense therapy. The less intense therapy may cause fewer side effects. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. The overall goals of this study are to see if giving STS along with standard treatment (radiation therapy and chemotherapy) will reduce hearing loss in medulloblastoma patients and to compare the overall outcome of patients with medulloblastoma treated with STS to patients treated without STS on a previous study in order to make sure that survival and recurrence of tumor is not worsened.

This is a phase II study using risk and response-adapted therapy for low, intermediate and high risk classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Chemotherapy regimens will be based on risk group assignment. Low-risk and intermediate- risk patients will be treated with bendamustine, etoposide, Adriamycin® (doxorubicin), bleomycin, Oncovin® (vincristine), vinblastine, and prednisone (BEABOVP) chemotherapy. High-risk patients will receive Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin), etoposide, prednisone and Adriamycin® (doxorubicin) (AEPA) and cyclophosphamide, Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin), prednisone and Dacarbazine® (DTIC) (CAPDac) chemotherapy. Residual node radiotherapy will be given at the end of all chemotherapy only to involved nodes that do not have an adequate response (AR) after 2 cycles of therapy for all risk groups. Read Less

This is a prospective, open-label, multi-center clinical study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of firicabtagene autoleucel (firi-cel), a CD22-directed autologous Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).

Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA) is a rare condition in which the body stops producing enough new blood cells. SAA can be cured with immune suppressive therapy or a bone marrow transplant. Regular treatment for patients with aplastic anemia who have a matched sibling (brother or sister), or family donor is a bone marrow transplant. Patients without a matched family donor normally are treated with immune suppressive therapy (IST). Match unrelated donor (URD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) is used as a secondary treatment in patients who did not get better with IST, had their disease come back, or a new worse disease replaced it (like leukemia). This trial will compare time from randomization to failure of treatment or death from any cause of IST versus URD BMT when used as initial therapy to treat SAA. The trial will also assess whether health-related quality of life and early markers of fertility differ between those randomized to URD BMT or IST, as well as assess the presence of marrow failure-related genes and presence of gene mutations associated with MDS or leukemia and the change in gene signatures after treatment in both study arms. This study treatment does not include any investigational drugs. The medicines and procedures in this study are standard for treatment of SAA. Read Less
