New pill shows promise for untreated brain tumor patients
NCT ID NCT04458272
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called DS-1001b in 25 people with a specific type of slow-growing brain tumor (grade II glioma) that has an IDH1 mutation. Participants have not had chemotherapy or radiation before. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the tumor and to check for side effects.
