Diabetes pill trial offers new hope for kids with tough cancers

NCT ID NCT05521984

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether adding the diabetes drug dapagliflozin to standard cancer treatment is safe for children and young adults with recurrent brain tumors or solid tumors that have come back or resisted treatment. The main goal is to check for side effects, but researchers also hope the drug might help shrink tumors by changing how cancer cells use energy. The study will enroll about 20 participants aged 6 to 21 who have no other curative options.
