• Children between 1 year (≥ 12 months) and 18 years of age at the time of first diagnosis and less than 21 years at the time of inclusion
• Performance status: Karnofsky performance status (for patients >12 years of age) or Lansky Play score (for patients ≤12 years of age) ≥ 50% (Appendix I)
• Written informed consent from parents/legal representative, patient, and age-appropriate assent before any study specific screening procedures are conducted, according to local, regional or national guidelines
• Patients must have had advanced molecular profiling and flow-cytometric analysis of their recurrent or refractory disease at a time-point before the first inclusion into this trial (see section 9.1 for detailed description of the molecular diagnostics required). Drug response profiling and methylation is highly recommended but not mandatory. Patients with molecular profiling at first diagnosis lacking molecular diagnostics at relapse or refractory disease may be allowed to be included after discussion with the sponsor
• Patients whose tumor presents alterations in the IL-7R and/or JAK-STAT signaling pathways including but not limited to the following are eligible: CRLF2: Rearrangements and mutations leading to CRLF2 overexpression (P2RY8-CRLF2, IGH-CRLF2, and CRLF2 F232C), CRFL2 overexpression; EPOR: Truncating rearrangements or mutations in exon 8, EPOR fusions; JAK1/2/3: Recurrent or novel missense and in-frame indel mutations in or flanking the pseudokinase and kinase domains, JAK fusion; IL7R: Recurrent or novel missense or in-frame indel mutations in the transmembrane domain; SH2B3: Copy number deletions, or mutations that result in frameshifts or premature termination; JAK2: In frame fusions retaining the tyrosine kinase domain; USP9X truncating mutation or USP9X-DDX3X fusion; STAT5B and DNM2 mutations; PTPN2 deletion described as involved in IL7R/JAK/STAT pathway activation; IL7R mutations
• Adequate organ function:; RENAL AND HEPATIC FUNCTION (Assessed within 48 hours prior to C1D1) :; Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age or calculated creatinine clearance as per the Schwartz formula or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; Direct bilirubin ≤ 2 x ULN (≤ 3.0 × ULN for patients with Gilbert's syndrome); Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) ≤ 5 x ULN; aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase/SGOT ≤ 5 x ULN. Note: Patients with hepatic disfunction related to the underling disease can be eligible even if they do not fulfill the aforementioned values for hepatic transaminases. In these cases, patients need to be discussed with the sponsor to confirm the eligibility; CARDIAC FUNCTION:; Shortening fraction (SF) >29% (>35% for children < 3 years) and/or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% at baseline, as determined by echocardiography or MUGA; Absence of QTcF prolongation (QTc prolongation is defined as >450 msec on baseline ECG, using the Friedericia correction), or other clinically significant ventricular or atrial arrhythmia

• Patients whose tumor present known mutationts confering resistance to JAK inhibitors: JAK1 Phe958 and Pro960 mutations and JAK2 Y931C mutations

• Active acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) of any grade or chronic GvHD of grade 2 or higher. Patients receiving any agent to treat or prevent GvHD post bone marrow transplant are not eligible for this trial

• Wash-out periods of prior medication:; CHEMOTHERAPY: At least 7 days must have elapsed since the completion of cytotoxic therapy, with the exception of hydroxyurea, 6-mercaptopurine, oral methotrexate and steroids which are permitted up until 48 hours prior to initiating protocol therapy. Patients may have received intrathecal therapy (IT) at any time prior to study entry; RADIOTHERAPY: Radiotherapy (non-palliative) within 21 days prior to the first dose of drug. Palliative radiation in past 21 days is allowed; HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION (HSCT):; Autologous HSCT within 2 months prior to the first study drug dose; Allogeneic HSCT within 3 months prior to the first study drug dose; IMMUNOTHERAPY: At least 42 days must have elapsed after the completion of any type of immunotherapy other than monoclonal antibodies (e.g. CAR-T therapy); MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND INVESTIGATIONAL DRUGS: At least 21 days or 5 times the half-life (whichever is shorter) from prior treatment with monoclonal antibodies or any investigational drug under investigation must have elapsed before the first study drug; SURGERY: Major surgery within 21 days of the first dose.
