Histological Diagnosis:

  • Patients must have had histological verification of the malignancy at some time prior to study entry.
  • All solid tumors are eligible with the exclusion of lymphomas. For patients with neuroblastoma, diagnosis based on elevated catecholamines in the urine and tumor cells on bone marrow aspirates/biopsies is acceptable.
  • For patients with germ cell tumors, diagnosis based on elevated tumor markers (serum alpha fetoprotein and/or serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin) and radiographic evidence of disease is acceptable.

Disease Status:

  • Disease must have failed standard therapy (therapies) or be a disease for which no standard therapy exists.
  • Patient with stable disease on other therapies are not eligible.

Performance Level:

  • Karnofsky > 50% for patients >16 years of age and Lansky > 50 for children < 16 years of age (Appendix I).
  • Life Expectancy: Must be > 8 weeks.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients who have received bevacizumab and/or Irinotecan previously are ineligible. Non brain tumor patients who have previously received Temozolomide are ineligible.
  • Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding: Pregnant patients are ineligible for this study due to the known teratogenic effects of the cytotoxic agents. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in females of childbearing potential prior to enrollment.
  • Lactating women must agree not to breast-feed.
  • Males or females of reproductive age may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method.
  • Patients Who Have an Uncontrolled Infection will not be eligible for enrollment until all infections are under control.
  • Clinically Significant Unrelated Systemic Illness: Patients with serious infections or significant pulmonary, hepatic, renal, or other end-organ dysfunction which in the judgment of the Principal or Co-Investigators would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate prescribed chemotherapy or are likely to interfere with the study procedures or results will not be eligible.
