Selumetinib + Vinblastine
for Low-Grade Glioma
This phase III trial investigates the best dose of vinblastine in combination with selumetinib and the benefit of adding vinblastine to selumetinib compared to selumetinib alone in treating children and young adults with low-grade glioma (a common type of brain cancer) that has come back after prior treatment (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (progressive). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein that lets tumor cells grow without stopping. Vinblastine blocks cell growth by stopping cell division and may kill cancer cells. Giving selumetinib in combination with vinblastine may work better than selumetinib alone in treating recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.

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
Combination Therapy
for Brain Cancer
This trial is testing a combination of three drugs to treat a specific type of brain tumor called diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs). These drugs aim to stop the tumor from growing by blocking enzymes that the cancer cells need. The trial focuses on patients with DMGs because current treatments are not very effective for them.
