Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Bortezomib (Velcade®) is the first generation proteasome inhibitor developed by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as an anti-cancer medication. Bortezomib was approved by FDA for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma (newly diagnosed or relapse/recurrent disease). In children, the safety of BTZ has been proved in phase I clinical trial of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, refractory or recurrent solid tumors, relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma. Recently, we found the proteasome-encoding genes were highly expressed in AT/RTs compared with that in normal brain tissues, correlated with the malignant phenotype of tumor cells, and were essential for tumor cell survival. Bortezomib targets proteostasis, inhibiting tumor growth and inducing apoptosis through p53 accumulation in three Myc-AT/RT cell lines and in mice with orthotopic xenografts of AT/RT. Our findings suggest that BTZ is a promising targeted therapy for Myc-AT/RTs (manuscript under review). To determine whether the other subgroups of ATRTs (i.e., SHH and TYR subgroups) are sensitive to BTZ, we conducted the in vivo drug test in 2 SHH-AT/RT cell lines (CHLA-02 and CHLA-04). Although CHLA-02 and CHLA-04 cell line were less sensitive to BTZ (IC50 of 15.1 (14.3-15.9) nM and 15.8 (14.5-17.3) nM, respectively) than Myc-AT/RT cell line (IC50 of 5.84 to 8.7 nM), these inhibitory concentrations are still clinically achievable (Cmax, 231.6-312.3 nM). Furthermore, the dependence on ubiquitin proteasome system for survival and high sensitivity to proteasome inhibitors have been reported in SMARCB1-deficient cancer cells. Additionally, we also observed the subgroup shifting in one infant with AT/RTs, from SHH subgroup of primary tumor to Tyr subgroup of the first recurrent tumor and Myc subgroup of the second recurrent tumor. Therefore, we hypothesize that BTZ treatment is potentially effective to all subgroups of CNS AT/RT and propose a clinical trial utilizing BTZ as an add-on therapy to standard and high-dose chemotherapy

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Patients with CNS AT/RT who were initially diagnosed at the age of 0-20 years.
3. Disease Status:
Cohort 1: Patients with newly diagnosed AT/RT; Cohort 2: Patients with recurrent or refractory CNS AT/RT who have had at least 1 line of chemotherapy with radiographically measurable disease as defined by at least 1 lesion that can be measured in 2 dimensions.
4. Previous Anticancer Therapy:
Cohort 1: No previous anticancer chemotherapy other than the use of corticosteroids.
Cohort 2: Patient has fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation therapy prior to entering this study:
* Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: Patient has not received myelosuppressive chemotherapy within 3 weeks of enrollment onto this study (4 and 6 weeks if prior temozolomide and nitrosourea, respectively).
* Hematopoietic growth factors: At least 7 days must have elapsed since the completion of therapy with a growth factor. At least 14 days must have elapsed after receiving pegfilgrastim.
* Biologic (anti-neoplastic agent): At least 7 days must have elapsed since completion of therapy with a biologic agent. For agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period prior to enrollment must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur.
* Monoclonal antibodies: At least 3 half-lives must have elapsed since prior therapy that included a monoclonal antibody.
* Radiation therapy: at least 3 months must have elapsed since any irradiation unless measurable disease progression occurs at a site separate from the irradiated area and the patient has recovered from toxicities associated with radiation therapy.
5. Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below at enrollment and on day 1 of (or within 1 week prior to) each cycle:
* Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/μL
* Platelets ≥ 100,000/μL at enrollment and on day 1 of each cycle
* Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (RBC transfusions allowed)
* Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times institutional upper limit of normal
* AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 times institutional upper limit of normal (4x ULN if liver involvement)
* Creatinine ≤ upper limits by age 0-5 years old: 0.8 mg/dL; 6-9 years old: 1.0 mg/dL; 10-12 years old: 1.2 mg/dL; 13-15 years old: male, 1.5 mg/dL; female, 1.4 mg/dL; 16 years or older: male, 1.7 mg/dL; female, 1.4 mg/dL
