Study Summary

This trial tests a combination of two drugs to find the safest and most effective dose for children with rare brain tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 6 months to 25 years with specific brain or extra-CNS malignant rhabdoid tumors that have worsened or returned after treatment. Participants must be recovered from previous therapies, not have certain infections or uncontrolled diseases, agree to use effective contraception if applicable, and cannot be pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The iSTAR study tests the combination of two oral drugs, selinexor (an XPO1 inhibitor) and idasanutlin (an MDM2 inhibitor), in patients with AT/RT or MRT. The goal is to find the safest dose for future studies and see how well these drugs work together against these aggressive tumors.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common ones associated with cancer treatments like selinexor and idasanutlin may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, blood count changes leading to increased infection risk, liver issues, and potential allergic reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is the age restriction for this experimental research limited to those above 55 years?

"This clinical trial is welcoming individuals between 6 months and 25 years to participate."

Answered by AI

Does my profile meet the criteria to join this research endeavor?

"Eligibility criteria for this clinical trial requires that patients have a specific type of cancer, rhabdoid tumour, and be aged between 6 months to 25 years. Approximately 40 individuals are being sought after."

Answered by AI

Are individuals currently being recruited for participation in this research?

"According to the info posted on clinicaltrials.gov, this specific trial is no longer actively seeking participants; it was initially made public on August 1st 2023 and last edited July 11th of that same year. Nevertheless, there are currently 2540 other trials willing to take in candidates."

Answered by AI

What safeguards are in place to protect participants during the Dose Finding/Safety Phase?

"With limited evidence of its safety and efficacy, Dose Finding/Safety Phase was judged to be a 1 on our scale from 1-3."

Answered by AI

What goals is this study attempting to accomplish?

"This clinical trial, which will be administered for a duration of 1 month with Idasanutlin and selinexor medications, aims to evaluate the systemic clearance (CL/F) rate in children diagnosed with recurrent or progressive AT/RT or MRT. The secondary objectives include calculating the objective response rate by measuring partial/complete responses from patients with measurable disease; assessing progression-free survival among those suffering from advanced AT/RT; and tracking progression-free survival rates amongst individuals afflicted by relapsed MRT. All outcomes will be reported using 95% confidence intervals as per Kaplan–Meier estimations."
