New drug combo tested in kids with tough cancers

NCT ID NCT01282697

Summary

This study tested a new combination of two existing drugs, rapamycin and irinotecan, in children and young adults whose solid tumors did not respond to standard treatments. The main goal was to find the highest dose of this combination that could be given safely. Researchers also wanted to see how the drugs behaved in the body and if they could help control the cancer's growth.
