Low Grade Glioma New Diagnosis

A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib Versus Carboplatin/Vincristine in Patients With Neurofibromatosis and Low-Grade Glioma

  • Ages: ≥2 years of age to ≤ 21 years of age

This phase III trial studies if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatine/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerve ...More

A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib vs. Carboplatin and Vincristine in Patients With Low-Grade Glioma

  • Ages: ≥2 years of age to ≤ 21 years of age

This trial studies how well selumetinib works in treating patients with low-grade glioma. Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein (a basic building block of the human body) that lets tumor cells grow without stopping. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and vincristine, wo ...More

Larotrectinib in Treating Patients With Previously Untreated TRK Fusion Solid Tumors and TRK Fusion Relapsed Acute Leukemia

  • Ages: ≤ 30 years old

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well larotrectinib works in treating patients with previously untreated TRK fusion solid tumors and TRK fusion acute leukemia that has come back. Larotrectinib may stop the growth of cancer cells with TRK fusions by blocking the TRK enzymes needed ...More
