Summary:

      This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pevonedistat when given together
      with irinotecan hydrochloride and temozolomide in treating patients with solid tumors,
      central nervous system (CNS) tumors, or lymphoma that have come back after a period of
      improvement (recurrent) or that do not respond to treatment (refractory). Pevonedistat and
      irinotecan may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for
      cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop
      the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or
      by stopping them from spreading. Giving pevonedistat, irinotecan hydrochloride, and
      temozolomide may work better in treating patients with solid tumors, central nervous system
      (CNS) tumors, or lymphoma compared to irinotecan and temozolomide alone.
