Clinical Trial: Imetelstat Sodium in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Brain Tumors

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: A Molecular Biology and Phase II Study of Imetelstat (GRN163L) in Children With Recurrent High-Grade Glioma, Ependymoma and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Brief Summary: This molecular biology and phase II trial studies how well imetelstat sodium works in treating younger patients with recurrent or refractory brain tumors. Imetelstat sodium may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
