HIGH GRADE GLIOMA

This study tested a combination of an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) and low-dose chemotherapy in children and teenagers whose solid tumors had not responded to standard treatments. The goal was to see if the combination was safe and could help control the cancer. The trial was s…

This early-phase trial tested a combination of a drug called aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and focused ultrasound to treat recurrent high-grade glioma, an aggressive brain cancer. The study aimed to see if this sonodynamic therapy could safely damage tumor cells. Only 10 participants…

This early-phase trial tested a single dose of the cancer drug temsirolimus, given directly into the brain's blood supply, for people with recurrent high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor). Only 5 participants were enrolled, and the study was terminated early. The main goa…

This early-phase study tested whether a personalized vaccine made from a child's own tumor could train their immune system to fight high-grade gliomas. The treatment involved giving back activated immune cells (T-cells) and dendritic cell vaccines after chemotherapy. Only 5 child…

This study looked at whether giving chemotherapy and radiation before surgery could help control glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor. Only 2 people enrolled before the study was stopped. The goal was to see if this approach was safe and could delay tumor regrowth.

This early-phase trial tested a combination of three drugs—ribociclib, topotecan, and temozolomide—in children with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma and other solid tumors. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the combination could shrink tumors. Only 12 children took …

This early-phase trial aimed to measure how much of the drug infigratinib reaches brain tumor tissue in people with recurrent high-grade glioma (a type of brain cancer). Only 7 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated. The main goal was to check drug levels in t…
