Abiraterone Acetate in Children with Classic 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency

The purpose of this study is to (1) determine the minimum effective dose of abiraterone acetate that normalizes androstenedione levels in prepubertal children with CAH secondary to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (Phase 1 trial), and (2) assess the utility of abiraterone acetate in prepubertal children with CAH as adjunctive therapy to minimize excessive androgen secretion and allow more physiological glucocorticoid replacement (Phase 2 trial).

Adrenas CAH (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia) Study

This is a Phase 1/2, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BBP-631 administered to up to 25 adult participants diagnosed with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) (simple virilizing or salt-wasting, Group 1) or with classic salt-wasting CAH (Group 2) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) and who are monitored for 24 weeks post-treatment. All participants who receive BBP-631 will be followed for an additional 4.5 years for safety and efficacy in a separate long term follow up protocol (Study CAH-399). In total, all participants will be followed for at least 5 years after the date of treatment with BBP-631.

Phase I Temsirolimus

To test a new experimental drug Temisirolimus - Temsirolimus (also known as Torisel®) is approved for kidney cell cancer treatment in adults - in combination with approved chemotherapy drugs - in the hopes of finding a drug combination that may be effective against leukemia and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma that has come back after initial treatment. To find the highest dose that can be given without casing severe side effects.

Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia and Lymphoma Consortium (TACL) / Amgen Carfilzomib study

Carfilzomib (also known as Kyprolis®) is approved to be used in certain adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (myeloma that returns after a successful course of treatment or myeloma that does not respond to treatment). Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer. Carfilzomib is not approved to treat ALL. It has not been given in combination with the other drugs used in this study. This study is being done to find out if carfilzomib can be safely given before and during treatment with standard chemotherapy drugs.

Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia and Lymphoma Consortium (TACL) Marqibo® ALL study

This study aims to evaluate the side effects (good and bad) of giving Vincristine Suflate Liposome Infection (also known as Marqibo®) - a drug approved for leukemia treatment in adults but that is experimental in children - with other standard chemotherapy drugs and to measure how effective the combination is at treating children and young adults with leukemia that has come back after initial treatment.
