Early phase 1: testing CDK4/6 Inhibitor (Palbociclib, Ribociclib, Abemaciclib) for Medulloblastoma, Childhood
Medulloblastoma (MB), a rare yet critical pediatric brain tumor, is divided into 4 molecular subgroups (WNT, SHH, Group 3, Group 4), each with distinct genetic profiles. Despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances, neurotoxicity from standard treatments (resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) and the need for long-term care remain challenges.
Phase 1: the first tests in people. The main question is safety and dose, not whether it cures the condition. Groups are small. Side effects are watched closely.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are CDK4/6 Inhibitor (Palbociclib, Ribociclib, Abemaciclib). The registry lists allocation as randomized. Medulloblastoma (MB), a rare yet critical pediatric brain tumor, is divided into 4 molecular subgroups (WNT, SHH, Group 3, Group 4), each with distinct genetic profiles.
They plan to enroll about 60 people at Roma. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
Novel Molecular Targets and Innovative Therapeutic Perspective in Medulloblastoma
Primary outcome (registry wording): Clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying the acquisition of resistance to CDK4/6i in MB.
Who it is for (from inclusion criteria)
Ages 0 Years to 18 Years
All patients affected by Medulloblastoma operated on at the Pediatric Neurosurgery Unit during their pediatric age will be elected to take part to the study
Who the registry excludes
People the protocol lists as excluded — the study team must confirm.
This study will collect blood from patients with cancer to study the level of cells which decrease the immune response (suppressor cells) before and after chemotherapy. Patients 18 years of age and older with cancer may participate.
This study aims to provide long-term follow-up care of patients previously enrolled in a vaccine study that involved poxviral vectors. Vectors are sequences of genetic material that can be used to introduce specific genes into genetic makeup.
Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy that involves taking white blood cells from patients' tumors, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. These cells are called Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes, or TIL and we have given this type of treatment to over 200 patients with melanoma.
