Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Summary

Participants in this trial will be stratified according to their diagnosis; osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma and MRT/ATRT. Patients will be enrolled following the end of their conventional therapy, which may include chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment. Patients will have a three-week wash out period before commencing on the trial. Pabinostat will be administered as a continuous daily oral dose, and will follow a dose escalation scheme for each stratum, determined by biological effect of the drug. The final dose will be defined when significant biological effect is achieved with acceptable toxicity, and is maintained for a 4 week period.
