Official title
Phase I/II Trial of R115777 and XRT in Pediatric Patients With Newly Diagnosed Non-Disseminated Intrinsic Diffuse Brainstem Gliomas
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Tipifarnib may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Combining tipifarnib with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tipifarnib to see how well it works when given together with radiation therapy in treating young patients with newly diagnosed brain stem glioma. (Phase I closed to accrual as of 1/19/06)
