Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of entinostat in treating pediatric patients with solid tumors that have come back or have not responded to treatment. Entinostat may block some of the enzymes needed for cell division and it may help to kill tumor cells.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose of entinostat administered as a single-agent, once weekly to children with recurrent or refractory solid tumors.

II. To define and describe the toxicities of entinostat administered as a single agent, once weekly to children with recurrent or refractory solid tumors.

III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of entinostat in children with recurrent or refractory cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To preliminarily define the antitumor activity of entinostat within the confines of a phase 1 study.

II. To assess change in histone H3 and H4 acetylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as a marker of the biologic activity of entinostat.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients receive entinostat orally (PO) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 5 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

* \>=14 days must have elapsed after the completion of other cytotoxic therapy, with the exception of hydroxyurea, for patients not receiving standard maintenance therapy; additionally, patients must have fully recovered from all acute toxic effects of prior therapy; Note: cytoreduction with hydroxyurea must be discontinued \>= 24 hours prior to the start of protocol therapy
* Anti-cancer agents not known to be myelosuppressive (e.g. not associated with reduced platelet or absolute neutrophil count \[ANC\] counts): \>= 7 days must have elapsed from the last dose of agent; the duration of this interval must be discussed with the study chair and the study-assigned research coordinator prior to enrollment
* Antibodies: \>= 21 days must have elapsed from infusion of last dose of antibody, and toxicity related to prior antibody therapy must be recovered to grade =\< 1
* Hematopoietic growth factors: \>= 14 days must have elapsed from the last dose of a long-acting growth factor (e.g. pegfilgrastim) or 7 days for short-acting growth factor; for agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur; the duration of this interval must be discussed with the study chair and the study-assigned research coordinator
* Interleukins, interferons and cytokines (other than hematopoietic growth factors): \>= 21 days must have elapsed from the last dose of interleukins, interferon or cytokines (other than hematopoietic growth factors)
