Summary

"This trial is testing a new drug called zilovertamab vedotin in children and young adults with certain types of cancer to see if it is effective and safe."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young people with certain blood cancers or solid tumors, like B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Burkitt lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and Ewing sarcoma. Participants must have tried other treatments that didn't work (relapsed) or didn't respond to previous treatments (refractory).
What is being tested?
The study tests zilovertamab vedotin's effectiveness and safety in children and young adults. It's a targeted therapy aimed at treating specific types of cancer by delivering a toxin directly to the cancer cells.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, side effects of similar targeted therapies can include fatigue, allergic reactions to the drug infusion, lowered blood cell counts increasing infection risk, nausea or vomiting.
