Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Part 1 only: (Now closed) 1. Subjects with a histological diagnosis of advanced cancer (solid tumors or central nervous system [CNS] tumors) with disease that is recurrent or refractory to standard therapy or for whom standard therapy is not available (histological confirmation waived for brains team gliomas and optic pathway tumors). 2. Evaluable disease. Part 2 only: 1. Subjects with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of refractory or relapsed: - Neuroblastoma - High-grade gliomas: gliobalstoma multiforme, anaplastic astrocytmas, and other high-grade gliomas (histological confirmation waived for brain stem gliomas) - Rhabdomyosarcoma 2. Measurable disease (for subjects with neuroblastoma, evaluable disease as determined by a positive metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan will also be permitted). Part 1 and Part 2: 1. At least 3 months since prior autologous or allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or stem cell transplant (SCT) at the time of study entry. 2. Prior Radiotherapy: - at least 2 weeks since prior local radiation therapy at the time of study entry - at least 3 months since prior craniospinal radiotherapy at the time of study entry - at least 6 months since prior radiotherapy to: whole abdomen or pelvis, whole lungs, >25% of bone marrow reserve, or total body irradiation at the time of study entry 3.

| Main Objective: Part 1 (Part 1 is now closed): Primary Objective - To evaluate the safety of IV temsirolimus given once weekly to children with solid tumors with disease that is recurrent or refractory to standard therapy or for whom standard therapy is not available. Part 2: Primary objective - To obtain preliminary information on the anti-tumor activity of IV temsirolimus in children with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma, high-grade glioma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Anti-tumor activity will be assessed by determining the percentage of subjects exhibiting objective response (CR + PR) within 12 weeks.;Secondary Objective: Part 1 (Part 1 is now closed): 1) To identify the maximum tolerated dose or a biologically effective dose of IV temsirolimus when administered once weekly. 2) To obtain preliminary information on the anti-tumor activity of IV temsirolimus. 3) To determine the single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus in children with once-weekly IV treatment. 4) To determine the effects of IV temsirolimus on changes in the mTOR signaling pathway in the PBMCs. Part 2: 1) To verify the safety of the selected dose. 2) To evaluate the percentage of subjects exhibiting freedom from progression (disease stabilization defined as CR+VGPR+MR+PR+SD for subjects with neuroblastoma and CR+PR+SD for all other subjects) at 3 months. 3) To determine the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus in children with once-weekly IV treatment. 4) To determine the effects of IV temsirolimus on changes in the mTOR signaling pathway in the bone marrow. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of Part 2 of this study is objective response (CR+PR) rate within 12 weeks. | — |
