RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of rebeccamycin analogue in treating children who have solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Official Title: | A Phase II Trial of Rebeccamycin Analogue (NSC #655649) in Children With Solid Tumors |
Study Start Date: | July 2000 |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients with solid tumors are stratified according to tumor histology (neuroblastoma vs Ewing's sarcoma [closed to accrual as of 5/19/03]/peripheral primative neuroectodermal tumor [PNET] vs osteosarcoma [closed to accrual as of 5/19/03] vs rhabdomyosarcoma vs non-Hodgkin's lymphoma vs other solid tumors). Patients with CNS tumors are stratified according to tumor histology (medulloblastoma/PNET vs ependymoma vs brainstem glioma vs other CNS tumors).
Patients receive rebeccamycin analogue IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment continues every 21 days for a total of 16 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed monthly for 1 year, every 2 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100-200 patients will be accrued for this study within 2.4 months to 2.5 years.
