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.

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.

Dabrafenib + Trametinib After Radiation

for Brain Cancer

This trial studies how well dabrafenib and trametinib work after radiation therapy in children and young adults with a specific type of brain tumor. These drugs help stop tumor growth by blocking signals that tell the cells to multiply. Dabrafenib has been developed and tested extensively for a specific type of skin cancer, showing effectiveness both alone and when used with trametinib.
