DAY101 vs. Chemotherapy
for Pediatric Brain Cancer
This trial is testing tovorafenib, a medication given alone, in children with a specific type of brain tumor. The drug works by blocking a protein that helps cancer cells grow.
Recruiting2 awards Phase 3
Selumetinib vs. Chemotherapy
for Brain Cancer
This trial is comparing a new drug, selumetinib, with standard chemotherapy to treat patients with a specific type of brain tumor. The patients do not have a certain genetic mutation and are not affected by a genetic disorder. Selumetinib works by blocking enzymes needed for tumor growth, while the standard drugs kill or stop tumor cells from dividing.
Recruiting2 awards Phase 3
Selumetinib vs Carboplatin/Vincristine
for Brain Cancer
This phase III trial studies if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatin/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking some enzymes that low-grade glioma tumor cells need for their growth. This results in killing tumor cells. Drugs used as chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and vincristine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether selumetinib works better in treating patients with NF1-associated low-grade glioma compared to standard therapy with carboplatin and vincristine.
