• For Part A participants: serum albumin >= 2 g/dL
• For Part B participants: SGPT (ALT) concentration < 2.5 x institutional ULN
• For Part B participants: total bilirubin concentration =< 1.5 x the institutional ULN for age
• For Part B participants: serum albumin >= 2g/dL
• Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, or radiotherapy prior to entering this study: * Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: patient has not received myelosuppressive chemotherapy within 3 weeks of enrollment onto this study (6 weeks if prior nitrosourea) * Hematopoietic growth factors: at least 7 days must have elapsed since the completion of therapy with a growth factor; at least 14 days must have elapsed after receiving pegfilgrastim * Biologic (anti-neoplastic agent): at least 7 days must have elapsed since completion of therapy with a biologic agent; for agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period prior to enrollment must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur * Monoclonal antibodies: at least 3 half-lives must have elapsed since prior therapy that included a monoclonal antibody * Radiotherapy: at least 2 weeks must have elapsed since any irradiation; at least 6 weeks must have elapsed since craniospinal radiation therapy (RT) or substantial bone marrow irradiation
• All patients and/or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a written informed consent; assent will be obtained, when appropriate, according to institutional guidelines
