This is a phase 1 study of pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG 20) in pediatric patients who deficient in the expression of tumor argininosuccinate synthetase, and have failed prior treatments. The study hypothesis is that this drug will be safe in pediatric patients.
This phase 1 study will use a classic 3 dose levels by 3 patients per dose level design. Once the maximum tolerated dose is reached, additional patients may be enrolled at that dose level.
