Clinical Trials Alissa Thomas is currently running
Tirabrutinib
for Central Nervous System Lymphoma
This trial is testing tirabrutinib alone and with other cancer drugs in patients with PCNSL. It targets those who haven't responded to previous treatments or are newly diagnosed. Tirabrutinib works by blocking a protein that helps cancer cells grow. Tirabrutinib was approved for use in treating primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Targeted Therapy
for Brain Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well genetic testing works in guiding treatment for patients with solid tumors that have spread to the brain. Several genes have been found to be altered or mutated in brain metastases such as NTRK, ROS1, CDK, PI3K, or KRAS G12C. Medications that target these genes such as abemaciclib, paxalisib, entrectinib and adagrasib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Genetic testing may help doctors tailor treatment for each mutation.
