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

• Ages: From 1 to 21 years old

This clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab and to see how well it works in treating younger patients with high-grade gliomas (brain tumors) or diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (brain stem tumors) that have come back, progressed, or have not responded to previous tre ...More

PBTC-048: Feasibility Trial of Optune for Children With Recurrent or Progressive Supratentorial High-Grade Glioma and Ependymoma

PURPOSE: This feasibility trial studies how well the Optune device works in treating younger patients with recurrent/refractory/progressive supratentorial malignant glioma and ependymoma. The TTFields generated by Optune device may inhibit the growth of tumor.&#x2028 DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Primary Ob ...More

PBTC-059: HER2-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells for Children With Ependymoma

• Ages: 1 Year to 22 Years

This is a Phase I study to evaluate the safety profile of a type of immune therapy called HER2 CAR T cells (short for HER2 chimeric antigen receptor T cells). In addition to looking for side effects, we will study how well this treatment works against a brain tumor called ependymoma that has come ba ...More

PBTC-060: A Pilot Study of SurVaxM in Children Progressive or Relapsed Medulloblastoma, High Grade Glioma, Ependymoma and Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

• Ages: 1 Year to 21 Years

This is a multicenter pilot study of SurVaxM (SVN53-67/M57-KLH) for children and young adults with progressive or relapsed medulloblastoma, high grade glioma, ependymoma and newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Survivin (BIRC5) is an inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein that is highly e ...More

PEPN2111: CBL0137 for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors, Including CNS Tumors and Lymphoma

• Ages: 1 Month to 30 Years

This phase I/II trial evaluates the best dose, side effects and possible benefit of CBL0137 in treating patients with solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors or lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory).
