Brief Summary: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory solid tumors of childhood Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I Determine the response rate of patients with relapsed or refractory pediatric solid tumors treated with imatinib mesylate
II Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients III Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this drug IV Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients V Correlate response with c-kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor expression in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study Patients are stratified according to disease Ewings sarcomaprimitive neuroectodermal tumor vs osteosarcoma vs neuroblastoma vs other
Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once or twice daily on days 1-28 Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
