Full Title

A Phase I study of Savolitinib in Recurrent, Progressive or Refractory Medulloblastoma, High-Grade Glioma, or Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug savolitinib that can be given safely in children with certain brain tumors that have come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. Savolitinib works by blocking the c-MET protein, which some cancers use to grow. It is taken orally (by mouth).
