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).

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.

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.

To determine the safety and feasibility of autologous umbilical cord blood-derived mononuclear cells delivered into the myocardium of the right ventricle during planned Stage II Glen surgical procedure for individuals with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

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.

The goals of this study are to improve survival rates in children and young adults with relapsed AML through the combination of DEC and VOR.
