DIPG/High Grade Glioma New Diagnosis

A Study of the Drug Selinexor With Radiation Therapy in Patients With Newly-Diagnosed Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine (DIPG) Glioma and High-Grade Glioma (HGG)

  • Ages: 12 Months to 21 Years

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of selinexor given in combination with standard radiation therapy in treating children and young adults with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma (HGG) with a genetic change called H3 K27M mut ...More

ACCL2031: A Study to See if Memantine Protects the Brain During Radiation Therapy Treatment for a Brain Tumor

  • Ages: 4 Years to 17 Years

This phase III trial compares memantine to usual treatment in treating patients with brain tumors that are newly diagnosed or has come back (recurrent). Memantine may block receptors (parts of nerve cells) in the brain known to contribute to a decline in cognitive function. Giving memantine may make ...More

CONNECT1903: A Pilot Study of Larotrectinib for Newly-Diagnosed High-Grade Glioma With NTRK Fusion

  • Ages: Up to 21 Years

This is a pilot study that will evaluate disease status in children that have been newly diagnosed high-grade glioma with TRK fusion. The evaluation will occur after 2 cycles of the medication (Larotrectinib) have been given. The study will also evaluate the safety of larotrectinib when given with c ...More

CONNECT1906: PEP-CMV Vaccine Targeting CMV Antigen to Treat Newly Diagnosed Pediatric HGG and DIPG and Recurrent Medulloblastoma

  • Ages: 3 Year to 25 Years

This phase II clinical trial will have 3 strata in order to assess the efficacy of a highly immunogenic CMV-directed peptide vaccines in children with (1) recurrent medulloblastoma (rMB), (2) newly-diagnosed high-grade gliomas (HGG) and (3) newly-diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Ea ...More

Dabrafenib Combined With Trametinib After Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly-Diagnosed High-Grade Glioma

  • Ages: 3 years to 25 years

This phase II trial studies how well the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib works after radiation therapy in children and young adults with high grade glioma who have a genetic change called BRAF V600 mutation. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and reduce the size of ...More

GCC1949: Pediatric Trial of Indoximod With Chemotherapy and Radiation for Relapsed Brain Tumors or Newly Diagnosed DIPG

  • Ages: 3 years to 21 years of age

Indoximod was developed to inhibit the IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase) enzymatic pathway, which is important in the natural regulation of immune responses. This potent immune suppressive mechanism has been implicated in regulating immune responses in settings as diverse as infection, tissue/organ ...More

Volitinib in Treating Participants with Recurrent or Refractory Medulloblastoma, High-Grade Glioma, or Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

  • Ages: 6 Years to 21 Year

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effect of volitinib in treating participants with Medulloblastoma, High-Grade Glioma or Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma that have come or does not respond to treatment. Volitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes nee ...More
