Solid Tumors

This study has two parts. Part A enrolls patients who have been diagnosed with a solid tumor, lymphoma or desmoid tumor that has either come back ("relapsed") or does not respond to therapy ("is refractory").

This study enrolls patients that have been diagnosed with SMARCB1 or SMARCB4 deficient cancer that has either come back (“relapsed”) or does not respond to therapy (“is refractory”) or have been newly diagnosed with a SMARCB1 or SMARCB4 deficient cancer that has no known standard treatment.

This study involves a taking a study drug called vactosertib by mouth.

This study enrolls patients with newly diagnosed differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary thyroid cancer or follicular thyroid cancer) that has spread to the lungs and has a genetic mutation called and NTRK fusion.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects, good or bad, of targeted therapies or immunotherapy (drugs that help the body's immune system fight cancer cells) in patients who have solid tumors with specific genetic alterations or with a high number of mutations.

CHOP scientists share their expertise in circadian research and SMA treatments. This and more this week’s news.

The Grohar Laboratory uses a bench-to-bedside-and-back approach to develop targeted therapies for pediatric solid tumors with a primary focus on the therapeutic targeting of EWS-FLI1 for Ewing sarcoma.

This study enrolls patients between 5 and 40 years of age with a diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma (including Ewing-like sarcoma) or osteosarcoma that has progressed on or relapsed after upfront initial therapy.

This study involves taking a study drug called lurbinectedin.

Dr. Grohar is a pediatric oncologist and physician-scientist focused on the development of novel molecularly targeted therapies for pediatric solid tumors.
