Full Title
A Phase 1/2 Trial of Selinexor (KPT-330) and Radiation Therapy in Newly-Diagnosed Pediatric Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and High-Grade Glioma (HGG) (ACNS1821) (CIRB)Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of the drug selinexor that can be given safely with radiation therapy in young patients newly diagnosed with pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma. Researchers will also determine the effectiveness of combining selinexor with radiation therapy (given for eight weeks) followed by selinexor therapy alone for two years.
Selinexor blocks a protein called XPO1, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. It is given orally (by mouth). Researchers believe that combining selinexor with radiation therapy may be effective for treating DIPG and high-grade glioma.
