Chemo-immunotherapy with ibrutinib and indoximod for pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a combination treatment (ibrutinib plus indoximod along with chemotherapy) for children with brain tumors that have come back or are hard to treat. It may help shrink active tumor or control the disease when standard treatments can’t cure it.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 3–25 - NCT07606170Enrolling by invitation

Istanbul, IstanbulAges 2–18 - NCT06621810Recruiting
AI for melanoma detection in children and young adults
This study uses artificial intelligence to help detect melanoma (a type of skin cancer) and predict risk in children, teens, and young adults. Researchers want to see if AI can spot melanoma early and assess risk better.
TübingenAges Any age - NCT07305090Recruiting
Gut GVHD biomarker study for transplant patients
This trial aims to develop a test using multiple biomarkers to predict how well patients will respond to treatment for acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) affecting the gut. It focuses on patients who are receiving an allogeneic stem cell transplant.
