About this study
Official title: A Phase 1/2 Trial of CBL0137 (NSC# 825802) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors Including CNS Tumors and Lymphoma
This phase I/II trial evaluates the best dose, side effects and possible benefit of CBL0137 in treating patients with solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors or lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs, such as CBL0137, block signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell. Blocking these signals can affect many functions of the cell, including cell division and cell death, and may kill cancer cells.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Facilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT) complex-targeting curaxin CBL0137 (CBL0137) administered via infusion on Day 1 and Day 8 of a 21-day cycle to children with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including CNS tumors and lymphoma. (Phase 1 Dose Escalation) II. To preliminarily determine the antitumor effects as measured by objective response rate of CBL0137 in children with progressive/recurrent diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and other H3 K27-altered diffuse midline gliomas (DMG). (Phase 2)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To preliminarily determine the antitumor effects of CBL0137 in children with refractory solid tumors and other CNS tumors, to the extent possible in the context of a Phase 1 study.
II. To define and describe the toxicities of CBL0137 in children with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including CNS tumors.
III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of CBL0137 in children with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including CNS tumors.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- To measure biologic marker FACT in tumor specimens with potential for correlation with disease response.
II. To evaluate the effect of CBL0137 on immune response by measuring the effects on the interferon response pathway in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
III. To preliminarily determine the effect of treatment with CBL0137 on overall survival of children with DIPG or other diffuse midline gliomas, H3 K27-altered, in comparison with historical controls.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive CBL0137 intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 17 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with pseudoprogression may remain on treatment, as per the treating physician. Patients also undergo echocardiography (ECHO) collection of blood samples throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy as clinically indicated.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months.

- 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
Key exclusion criteria (12 listed)
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies, OR because there is yet no available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal. Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use two effective methods of birth control, including a medically accepted barrier or contraceptive method (e.g., male or female condom) for the duration of the study. Abstinence is an acceptable method of birth control
- 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. If used to modify immune adverse events related to prior therapy, >= 14 days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid
- Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug are not eligible
- Patients who are currently receiving other anti-cancer agents are not eligible (except leukemia patients receiving hydroxyurea, which may be continued until 24 hours prior to start of protocol therapy)
- 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
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Biospecimen Collection, Bone Marrow Aspirate and Bone Marrow Biopsy in people with Diffuse Midline Glioma, H3 K27-Altered and Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Central Nervous System, run by Children's Oncology Group at 35 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 47 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 35 sites in United States, Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Maximum tolerated dose and/or Recommended Phase 2 dose of CBL0137 (time frame: Up to 21 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2026.
