First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This trial tests whether giving children and teens with advanced solid tumors, brain tumors, or lymphomas drugs that match their tumor's genetic profile can help. About 90 participants will receive one of four drug combinations based on their tumor's molecular features. The goal is to find the right dose and see if the tumors shrink or stop growing.
