First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests a daily pill called entrectinib for children under 3 with certain types of brain or spinal cord tumors. The drug targets specific gene changes (NTRK or ROS1) to shrink tumors and delay growth. About 52 children will take part, and doctors will measure how well the tumor responds and how long it stays under control.
