Electric cap tested in fight against Kids' brain cancer
NCT ID NCT03033992
Summary
This trial is testing a wearable medical device called Optune for children with aggressive brain tumors. The device uses low-intensity electric fields to try to slow or stop tumor growth. The study has two parts: one for kids whose tumors have come back, and another for kids newly diagnosed with a specific hard-to-treat tumor, where the device is used alongside radiation. The main goals are to see if children can comfortably wear the device for many hours a day and to check if it helps them live longer.
