Arsenic Trioxide Combined With Chemotherapy for the Treatment of p53-mutated Pediatric Cancer

Clinical Research on Efficacy and Safety of Arsenic Trioxide Combined With Chemotherapy in p53-mutated Pediatric Cancer Patients:A Prospective,Single-arm, Multi-center Study

Arsenic Trioxide Combined With Chemotherapy for the Treatment of p53-mutated Pediatric Cancer (NCT06088030) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Pediatric Cancer and Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, sponsored by Yang Li. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial aims to explore and evaluate the efficacy and safety of arsenic trioxide combined with chemotherapy for pediatric cancer with p53 mutation.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Pediatric Cancer and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 50 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Pediatric Cancer subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Pathological diagnosis basis of malignant tumor; 2. Patients not more than 18 years old; 3. Patient has either germline or somatic p53 mutations, which was shown to be partially/completely restored to function by ATO in in vitro experiments (http://www.rescuep53.net); 4. There are measurable lesions; 5. Guardians agreed and signed willing to sign a consent form. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: Patients with one or more critical organs failure such as heart, brain, kidney failure. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

These are translations of the protocol\'s inclusion and exclusion criteria, simplified for patients and caregivers. The original clinical text appears below. Eligibility is ultimately confirmed by the trial site\'s screening process — this summary is a starting point for a conversation with your doctor, not a final determination.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

Arsenic trioxide

Patients should be treated with the corresponding first-line chemotherapy regimen first, for example: Neuroblastoma: CAV (cyclophosphamide, pinarubicin, vincristine), PVP (cisplatin, etoposide) ,CT (cyclophosphamide, topotecan).If patients was evaluted as PD/SD after treatments, arsenic trioxide (ATO) will be administered 0.18mg/kg per day over six hours IV daily for ten days in combination with previous chemotherapy regimen on the third day of each treatment cycle. Other pediatric tumors with TP53 mutations not mentioned above will have similar treatment regimens. If the efficacy of the conventional standard chemotherapy regimen is evaluated as PD/SD, then the next course of treatment will be combined with ATO on the basis of the standard chemotherapy regimen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NCT06088030 clinical trial studying?

This prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial aims to explore and evaluate the efficacy and safety of arsenic trioxide combined with chemotherapy for pediatric cancer with p53 mutation. The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.

Who can participate in NCT06088030?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06088030?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
