Conditions studied: Neoplasm

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose limiting toxicities and recommended phase 2 dose of SGT-53 alone and in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors.

• Patients must have either measurable or evaluable disease.
• Patient's current disease state must be one for which there is no known curative therapy or therapy proven to prolong survival with an acceptable quality of life.
• Karnofsky ≥ 50% for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky ≥ 50 for patients ≤ 16 years of age.
• Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior anti-cancer chemotherapy:
• At least 21 days after the last dose of myelosuppressive chemotherapy (42 days if prior nitrosourea).
• At least 14 days after the last dose of a long-acting growth factor (e.g. Neulasta) or 7 days for short-acting growth factor.
• At least 7 days after the last dose of a biologic agent.

• No evidence of active graft vs. host disease and at least 84 days must have elapsed after transplant or stem cell infusion.
• Patient must not have had prior exposure to gene vector delivery products within 3 months.
• Patients may not have had prior SGT-53. Patient who have received prior topotecan, cyclophosphamide, or both are eligible.

• SGPT (ALT) ≤ 110 U/L.

You may not qualify if…

• Are pregnant or breast-feeding women.
• Concomitant medications:
• Patients receiving corticosteroids who have not been on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroid for at least 7 days prior to enrollment are not eligible.
• Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug are not eligible.
• Patients who are currently receiving other anti-cancer agents are not eligible.
• Patients who are receiving cyclosporine, tacrolimus or other agents to prevent graft-versus-host disease post bone marrow transplant are not eligible for this trial.
• Patients who have an uncontrolled infection are not eligible.
• Patients who have received a solid organ transplantation are not eligible.
