ACCL2031: A Study to See if Memantine Protects the Brain During Radiation Therapy Treatment for a Brain Tumor

• Ages: 4 Years to 17 Years

This phase III trial compares memantine to usual treatment in treating patients with brain tumors that are newly diagnosed or has come back (recurrent). Memantine may block receptors (parts of nerve cells) in the brain known to contribute to a decline in cognitive function. Giving memantine may make ...More

APEC1621: Pediatric MATCH: Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorders

• Ages: 12 Months to 21 Years

PURPOSE: This 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/o ...More

GCC1949: Pediatric Trial of Indoximod With Chemotherapy and Radiation for Relapsed Brain Tumors or Newly Diagnosed DIPG

• Ages: 3 years to 21 years of age

Indoximod was developed to inhibit the IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase) enzymatic pathway, which is important in the natural regulation of immune responses. This potent immune suppressive mechanism has been implicated in regulating immune responses in settings as diverse as infection, tissue/organ ...More

• Ages: From 1 to 21 years old

This clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab and to see how well it works in treating younger patients with high-grade gliomas (brain tumors) or diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (brain stem tumors) that have come back, progressed, or have not responded to previous tre ...More

PBTC-048: Feasibility Trial of Optune for Children With Recurrent or Progressive Supratentorial High-Grade Glioma and Ependymoma

PURPOSE: This feasibility trial studies how well the Optune device works in treating younger patients with recurrent/refractory/progressive supratentorial malignant glioma and ependymoma. The TTFields generated by Optune device may inhibit the growth of tumor.&#x2028 DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Primary Ob ...More
