Venetoclax in Children With Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Multiple Cancer Types

A study to evaluate if the randomized addition of venetoclax to a chemotherapy backbone
(fludarabine/cytarabine/gemtuzumab ozogamicin [GO]) improves survival of
children/adolescents/young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 1st relapse who are
unable to receive additional anthracyclines, or in 2nd relapse.

Selinexor and Venetoclax in Combination with Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Acute Leukemia of Ambiguous Lineage

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase I trial evaluates the side effects and best dose of selinexor and venetoclax in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute leukemia of ambiguous linage that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Selinexor may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking CRM1, which help the body's immune system to find and kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cytarabine, 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. Colony-stimulating factors, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, may increase the production of blood cells and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving venetoclax and selinexor with chemotherapy may help control the disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage.

Conditioning SCID Infants Diagnosed Early

Multiple Cancer Types

The investigators want to study if lower doses of chemotherapy will help babies with SCID to
achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after
transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most
likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get
severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients
receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants.

The study will test if patients receiving transplant using either a low dose busulfan or a
medium dose busulfan will have immune recovery of both T and B cells, measured by the ability
to respond to immunizations after transplant. The exact regimen depends on the subtype of
SCID the patient has. Donors used for transplant must be unrelated or half-matched related
(haploidentical) donors, and peripheral blood stem cells must be used. To minimize the chance
of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the stem cells will have most, but not all, of the T
cells removed, using a newer, experimental approach of a well-established technology. Once
the stem cell transplant is completed, patients will be followed for 3 years. Approximately
9-18 months after the transplant, vaccinations will be administered, and a blood test
measuring whether your child's body has responded to the vaccine will be collected.

A Trial Comparing Unrelated Donor BMT With IST for Pediatric and Young Adult Patients With Severe Aplastic Anemia (TransIT, BMT CTN 2202)

Pediatrics

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.
