Pilot Study of Cabozantinib for Recurrent or Progressive High-Grade Glioma in Children

Investigational Medication Safety in Children with Brain Tumors

Recruiting
2-21 years
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates the safety and effects of an investigational medication in children with high-grade gliomas, a type of brain tumor that is difficult to treat. High-grade gliomas are classified as WHO grade III or IV tumors, which are aggressive and fast-growing. The study focuses on pediatric patients who have already undergone radiation therapy and are experiencing tumor recurrence or persistence.

Participants in this study will receive either the investigational medication or a placebo, which is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain any medicine. The study will assess how well the investigational medication is tolerated and whether it affects the tumor's growth rate after 6 months.

  • Who can participate: Children with relapsed or refractory high-grade glioma, who have had radiation therapy, can participate. They need measurable disease, good organ function, and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Study details: Participants will take the investigational medication or a placebo. An inactive substance that looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain any medicine. They must be able to swallow tablets and will need to provide tumor tissue samples for analysis.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
