Targeted drug shows promise for Hard-to-Treat brain and bile duct cancers
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a drug called olaparib in people with advanced cancers (like brain tumors, bile duct cancer, or other solid tumors) that have a specific gene change called IDH1 or IDH2 mutation. The drug works by blocking an enzyme that cancer cells need to grow. About 89 partic…

Engineered immune cells take aim at Hard-to-Treat brain tumors
Disease control OngoingThis early-stage trial tests a new type of CAR T-cell therapy designed to target a protein called MMP2 found on glioblastoma cells. The treatment uses a scorpion toxin fragment (chlorotoxin) to help the immune cells find and attack the tumor. Nineteen patients with recurrent or p…

New drug shows promise for tough brain cancers
Disease control OngoingThis phase 2 trial tests the drug erdafitinib in 30 adults with a specific type of brain tumor (IDH-wild type glioma) that has come back or is getting worse. The tumor must have a certain gene fusion (FGFR-TACC). Erdafitinib blocks a faulty protein that helps cancer cells grow. T…

New hope for kids with rare cancers: targeted drug selpercatinib tested in phase 2 trial
Disease control OngoingThis phase 2 trial tests the drug selpercatinib in children and young adults (ages 1 to 21) with advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change called a RET alteration. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. Only one participant has been…

Engineered immune cells take on Hard-to-Treat brain cancers
Disease control OngoingThis early-stage trial tests a personalized immunotherapy for people with malignant glioma that has returned or not responded to standard treatment. The patient's own T-cells are collected, genetically modified in a lab to recognize and attack glioma cells, and then infused back …
