First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether adding the drug ibrutinib to a chemotherapy and immunotherapy combination can help children and young adults (ages 6–25) with brain cancers that have come back or not responded to standard treatment. The study aims to find the safest dose of ibrutinib and check for early signs of tumor shrinkage. Participants receive either one of two chemotherapy backbones alongside ibrutinib and an experimental immune-boosting drug called indoximod.
