Biological Therapy Plus Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer
Unknown
RATIONALE: Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Peripheral stem cell transplantation combined with biological therapy may be an effective treatment for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 with filgrastim to stimulate cell production in treating patients with stage IIIB, stage IV, metastatic, or recurrent breast cancer who will undergo peripheral stem cell transplantation.

Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children With Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard combination chemotherapy treatment with more intensive combination chemotherapy in treating children with acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Carboplatin and Vincristine Plus Radiation Therapy Followed By Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Treating Young Patients With Newly Diagnosed CNS Embryonal Tumors
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and vincristine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining carboplatin and vincristine with radiation therapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy followed adjuvant chemotherapy in tre... Read More

Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Second-Look Surgery and Radiation Therapy in Treating Children With Nonmetastatic Medulloblastoma or Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor
Completed
This phase III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy followed by second-look surgery and radiation therapy works in treating children with nonmetastatic medulloblastoma or primitive neuroectodermal tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining more than one drug and combining chemotherapy with surgery and radiation therapy may kill more tu... Read More

Zoledronic Acid (ZOMETA) With Cyclophosphamide With Neuroblastoma and Cortical Bone Involvement
Completed
The purposes of this study are: 1. To find the highest dose of monthly intravenous Zometa that can be given with daily low doses of cyclophosphamide by mouth to children with recurrent or refractory neuroblastoma without causing severe side effects. 2. To find out the side effects seen by giving Zometa and cyclophosphamide on this schedule at different dose levels. 3. To measure blood and urine levels of Zometa during treatment 4. To preliminarily evaluate the antitumor activity of Zometa and c... Read More

Chemotherapeutic Agents in Brain/Breast
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Studying s... Read More

Sequential High-Dose Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Chemotherapy-Sensitive Metastatic Breast Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of sequential high-dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer that is responding to chemotherapy.

Phase 1/2 Study of VELCADE® in Combination With Other Drugs to Treat Previously Untreated Multiple Myeloma Patients
Completed
The purpose of this Phase 1/2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with VELCADE, dexamethasone, and Revlimid® (VDR) as well as VELCADE, dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, and Revlimid (VDCR) in patients with multiple myeloma who have received no prior treatment. This study will evaluate whether the addition of Revlimid to VELCADE and Dexamethasone will increase the complete response (CR)/ very good partial response (VGPR) rate.

Pilot Study of Haploidentical Natural Killer Cell Infusions for Poor Prognosis Non-AML Hematologic Malignancies
Completed
The prognosis of pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies whose disease is primarily refractory or those who experience a chemotherapy resistant bone marrow relapse is extremely poor. When new agents or chemotherapeutic regimens are unable to induce remission in this patient population, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is also a poor alternative. Thus, in this very high risk group, additional attempts at remission induction with various combinations of chemotherapy alone will un... Read More
