Study Summary

This trial is studying the side effects and best dose of volitinib for treating patients with primary CNS tumors that have come back or does not respond to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients aged 5 to 21 with recurrent or stubborn primary CNS tumors, including medulloblastoma and gliomas. They must have tried standard treatments without success, be able to swallow tablets, and have stable neurological conditions. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, those with serious infections or other significant illnesses are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and optimal dosage of volitinib on children and young adults with specific brain tumors that haven't responded to previous treatments. It involves biospecimen collection and imaging techniques like MRI alongside the administration of volitinib.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to blocking enzymes needed for cell growth which may affect various body functions but specifics aren't provided here. Patients will be monitored for any adverse reactions during the trial.
