LOW GRADE GLIOMA OF BRAIN

This study looks at whether patients with a certain type of slow-growing brain tumor (low-grade glioma with a BRAF V600 mutation) can safely stop or reduce their dose of two targeted drugs, dabrafenib and trametinib, after 12-24 months of treatment. About 96 participants will eit…

This study tests a laser treatment called LITT for children, teens, and young adults whose low-grade brain tumors have come back or grown after prior therapy. About 40 participants will receive the laser procedure to heat and destroy tumor tissue. The main goal is to see how many…

This early-phase trial at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is testing whether a radioactive tracer called 18F-Fluciclovine (Axumin) can improve PET-MRI scans for children and young adults with low-grade glioma. About 30 participants will receive the tracer before starting trea…

This study looks at how people with a slow-growing brain tumor (low-grade glioma) feel during different treatments. Researchers will ask 90 patients about their quality of life, symptoms, and anxiety while they receive either the drug vorasidenib, radiotherapy, or just regular ch…

This study looks at how electrical pulses used by surgeons during awake brain surgery affect the brain. Researchers will measure brain waves in 12 people with low-grade glioma before and after tumor removal. The goal is to better understand which brain networks are turned off by …
