Clinical Trials Eugene Hwang, MD is currently running
Ribociclib + Everolimus
for Brain Tumors
This trial is testing whether the combination of ribociclib and everolimus can help children and young adults with aggressive brain tumors live longer. Everolimus is a medication that has been approved for treating various cancers. These drugs are taken by mouth and work by stopping cancer cells from growing. The study focuses on patients whose tumors have specific genetic changes that make them hard to treat with standard therapies.
Recruiting1 award Phase 2
Adoptive Cellular Therapy
for Pediatric Brain Tumors
This is an open-label phase 1 safety and feasibility study that will employ multi-tumor antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (TSA-T) directed against proteogenomically determined personalized tumor-specific antigens (TSA) derived from a patient's primary brain tumor tissues. Young patients with embryonal central nervous system (CNS) malignancies typically are unable to receive irradiation due to significant adverse effects and are treated with intensive chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell rescue; however, despite intensive therapy, many of these patients relapse. In this study, individualized TSA-T cells will be generated against proteogenomically determined tumor-specific antigens after standard of care treatment in children less than 5 years of age with embryonal brain tumors. Correlative biological studies will measure clinical anti-tumor, immunological and biomarker effects.
