NCT ID NCT02650401

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called entrectinib in children and teens with advanced solid tumors or brain cancers that have come back or not responded to other treatments. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors, especially in those with specific gene changes (NTRK or ROS1 fusions). About 69 participants will receive the drug by mouth or feeding tube, and researchers will monitor side effects and tumor response.
