Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for children with brain tumors that have come back or are growing after initial treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 3-21 with recurrent or progressive high-grade brain tumors who can swallow pills. They must have measurable disease, be recovered from prior treatments, and have stable health conditions. Those with controlled seizures or neurological deficits may qualify. Patients on birth control and HIV-positive individuals under certain criteria are also eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests INCB7839 in children with high-grade gliomas that came back or got worse after initial treatment. It's a phase 1 study to see how safe the drug is and how it affects these types of brain tumors.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for INCB7839 aren't listed, common ones for cancer drugs include nausea, fatigue, blood count changes increasing infection risk, liver function issues, allergic reactions, and potential bleeding problems.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Dose-findingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
INCB7839 dosing will begin at 120 mg/m2/dose BID which is equivalent to the adult RP2D (200 mg PO BID) based on a typical adult size of 1.67m2. The INCB7839 dose may be decreased to 80 mg/m2/dose BID if the staring dose is not tolerable. 28 consecutive days (4 weeks) will constitute one course. Patients may continue to receive INCB7839 for 26 courses (approximately 2 years).
