New drug could replace chemo for kids with brain tumor
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a targeted drug called selumetinib works as well as standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and vincristine) for children and young adults with a slow-growing brain tumor called low-grade glioma. Participants must be 2 to 21 years old and have a tumor without …

New pill shows promise for teens with rare brain cancer
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a daily pill called vorasidenib in 10 teenagers (ages 12 to 17) with a slow-growing brain tumor (grade 2 glioma) that has a specific genetic mutation (IDH1 or IDH2). The goal is to see if the drug is safe, how it affects growth and development, and whether it can…

New drug combo targets recurrent brain tumors in kids
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-stage trial is testing the safety and best dose of two drugs, trametinib and everolimus, given together to children and young adults whose gliomas (a type of brain tumor) have come back after previous treatment. The study aims to find the highest dose that is safe and …

New combo therapy targets aggressive brain tumors in phase 2 trial
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a more intense treatment for a fast-growing type of brain cancer called IDH wildtype glioma. It combines higher doses of radiation with the chemotherapy drug temozolomide to try to stop the tumor from growing longer. The trial will enroll 40 adults with this spec…

Engineered immune cells take on recurrent brain tumors in early trial
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-phase trial is testing a new type of immunotherapy called anti-GARP CAR T-cell therapy for people with recurrent high-grade gliomas (aggressive brain tumors). Researchers will take a patient's own immune cells, modify them in the lab to target a protein called GARP fou…
