New treatment option for CNS Malignancies
Official title A Phase 0/1 Study of cDNA for TP53, Checkpoint Inhibition and Radiation in Children With Recurrent, Progressive or Refractory CNS Malignancies.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07017816
What this study is testing
What is SGT-53?
SGT-53 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for cns malignancies.
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
- This clinical trial is studying a drug called SGT-53 along with radiation and another drug called Nivolumab. It's for children with brain tumors that have come back, gotten worse, or didn't get better with earlier treatments.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
