New hope for kids with Tough-to-Treat brain tumors

NCT ID NCT01089101

Summary

This study tested a drug called selumetinib for children and young adults whose low-grade brain tumors came back or didn't respond to prior treatment. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the drug could shrink or control the tumors. Participants took the drug as a pill twice daily for up to two years, with an option for re-treatment if the tumor progressed later.
