Clinical Trials Vinod K. Gidvani-Diaz is currently running
Genetic Testing-Directed Therapy
for Pediatric Cancer
This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

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.
