Atezolizumab for tumors that look sensitive on DNA/RNA testing
This Phase 2 study tests atezolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, in people with advanced, incurable solid tumors whose tumor DNA/RNA suggests they may respond. The goal is to see if the treatment works better for patients selected by these lab results.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04699773Recruiting
Laser treatment then focused radiation for new brain gliomas
This trial studies a two-step treatment for newly diagnosed high-grade glioma: first laser treatment (LITT) to target the tumor, followed by a shorter, more focused course of radiation. It may help shrink or control the tumor while limiting treatment time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05375617Recruiting
Study for newly diagnosed childhood cancers in Europe
This study follows children and teens with newly diagnosed certain leukemia (ALL) and certain favorable brain tumors to learn best care and outcomes. It may help your team compare standard treatments and monitor health over time.
New York, New YorkAges 3–21 - NCT05588141RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zotiraciclib for recurrent brain tumors with IDH mutations
This early-phase study tests zotiraciclib in people with recurring diffuse gliomas (brain tumors) that have an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation. It may help slow the tumor or shrink it by targeting a specific change in tumor biology.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 15 years+ - NCT05839379Recruiting
Targeted therapy study for children and young adults with brain tumors
This trial studies a targeted medicine approach for high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) and some diffuse midline tumors, including DIPG. It may help by matching treatment to tumor biology using tumor testing done before or around starting standard therapy.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–39 - NCT05843253RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus everolimus or temozolomide for certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests ribociclib with either everolimus or temozolomide, depending on the specific brain tumor type. It may help slow tumor growth in children and young adults whose tumor has specific genetic changes and who have had recent standard radiation therapy.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–39 - NCT06221553RecruitingPhase 1
New CAR T-cell treatment for DIPG brain tumor
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called B7H3 IL-7Ra CAR T-cells for children with DIPG, a tough-to-treat brain tumor. The treatment is given directly into the fluid around the brain using a special catheter, and the goal is to see if it's safe and if it can help fight the tumor.
