Race for a lifeline: experimental drug trial targets deadly childhood brain cancer

NCT ID NCT02887040

Summary

This study is for people newly diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brainstem tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). It will test if adding an experimental drug combination called antineoplastons to standard radiation therapy helps patients live longer than radiation alone. The trial will enroll about 92 children and adults to compare survival and side effects between the two treatment approaches.
