New hope for kids with devastating brain cancer? early trial tests novel drug combo
NCT ID NCT01165333
Summary
This early-stage study aimed to find the safest dose of an experimental drug called Cilengitide when given alongside standard radiation therapy. It involved 32 children and young adults newly diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain stem tumor (DIPG), which has very poor survival rates. The main goal was to see if the drug-radiation combination was tolerable, not to cure the disease, as a first step toward finding better treatments.
