- NCT04775485RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted medicine for children with certain brain or solid tumors
This Phase 2 study tests tovorafenib, a targeted cancer medicine, in children and young adults whose tumors have specific BRAF or RAF changes. It is for cancers that have come back or grown despite previous treatment, with measurable signs on scans.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6 months–25 years - NCT05555550RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET-MRI scan to study low-grade brain tumors in children
This early-phase study tests how well a special PET-MRI scan (using a radioactive tracer) can find and measure low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors better track these tumors while you start or continue treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–21 - NCT04485559RecruitingPhase 1
Testing two drugs for kids and young adults with recurrent gliomas
This trial is testing a combination of two oral drugs, trametinib and everolimus, to see if they can help children and young adults whose glioma (a type of brain tumor) has come back or is growing despite previous treatment. It includes both low-grade and high-grade gliomas, and aims to stop the tumor from growing.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–25 - NCT04166409RecruitingPhase 3
Selumetinib versus chemo for low-grade brain tumor in children
This trial studies whether the targeted drug selumetinib works better than standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and vincristine) for children and young adults with a specific type of low-grade glioma (grade 1 or 2). It may help shrink tumors and slow growth while comparing side effects between the two treatment approaches.

Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
