Tested a treatment for specific brain germ cell tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial studies WVI for children and young adults with a newly diagnosed germ cell tumor in one side of the basal ganglia/thalamus. It aims to see how well the treatment works for tumors without spread within the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 3 and 30 years old
- Be newly diagnosed (not a previously treated tumor)
- Have a tumor only on one side of the basal ganglia or thalamus
- No signs of other brain/spinal tumors on scans
- A test of the fluid around the brain (CSF cytology) must be negative for tumor cells

This Phase 2 trial tests a modified chemotherapy treatment plan for children and young people with optic pathway glioma, aiming to shrink tumor and improve eye/brain symptoms. You may be able to join if your diagnosis is confirmed and your body can safely handle treatment.
This trial tests a new treatment using special immune cells called Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, given directly into the brain fluid. It is for people with a very aggressive grade 4 brain tumor (malignant glioma) that has not gotten better with standard treatments.
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment approach for certain brain tumors called NGGCT in children and young adults. It may help improve outcomes by targeting tumors in specific brain locations and using tumor marker tests to guide care.
This trial will see if giving a lower dose of radiation therapy can still effectively treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called germinoma. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer under control.
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
This Phase 1 trial tests a new cancer drug (WSD0628) given with radiation for people whose high-grade glioma has returned after prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works in this situation.
