New treatment option for High Grade Glioma
Official title Study of Ribociclib and Everolimus in HGG and DIPG or Ribociclib and Temozolomide in DHG, H3G34-mutant
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05843253
What this study is testing
What is Ribociclib?
Ribociclib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for high grade glioma.
Also referred to as Kisqali.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the 1) ribociclib and everolimus to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma (HGG), including DIPG, that have genetic changes in pathways (cell cycle, PI3K/mTOR) that these drugs target or 2) ribociclib and temozolomide to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with diffuse hemispheric glioma (DHG), H3G34-mutant. The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combinations of ribociclib and everolimus or ribociclib and temozolomide can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with HGG/DIPG or DHG H3G34-mutant.
