Phase I/II Trial of Gefitinib and Radiation in Pediatric Patients Newly Diagnosed With Brain Stem Tumors or Incompletely Resected Supratentorial Malignant Gliomas With Phase II Limited to Brain Stem Tumors
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating gefitinib, radiation therapy, and 2 other interventions for Untreated Childhood Anaplastic Astrocytoma and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 69 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Biological therapies such as gefitinib may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. This phase I/II trial is studying how well giving gefitinib together with radiation therapy works in treating children with newly diagnosed glioma.
