HCRN Endoscopic Versus Shunt Treatment of Hydrocephalus in Infants
Recruiting
Hydrocephalus is a potentially debilitating neurological condition that primarily affects babies under a year of age and has traditionally been treated by inserting a shunt between the brain and the abdomen. A newer endoscopic procedure offers hope of shunt- free treatment that may reduce complications over a child's life, but it is not clear if the endoscopic procedure results in similar intellectual outcome as shunt. Therefore, the investigators propose a randomized trial to compare intellectu... Read More

Trametinib and Everolimus for Treatment of Pediatric and Young Adult Patients With Recurrent Gliomas (PNOC021)
Recruiting
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib and everolimus in treating pediatric and young adult patients with gliomas that have come back (recurrent). Trametinib acts by targeting a protein in cells called MEK and disrupting tumor growth. Everolimus is a drug that may block another pathway in tumor cells that can help tumors grow. Giving trametinib and everolimus may work better to treat low and high grade gliomas compared to trametinib or everolimus alone.

Customized Neuro-Imaging Referenced Symptom Video for the Reduction of Patient and Caregiver Anxiety Around Radiation Treatment for Brain Tumors
Recruiting
This trial studies whether a customized video intervention can help to reduce anxiety in brain cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment and their caregivers. A customized neuro-imaging referenced symptom video that describes symptoms and side effects specific to the patients' tumor may result in an early and sustained reduction in anxiety and distress during and after radiation treatment, thereby improving quality of life.

A Study of ATG-031 in Advanced Solid Tumors or B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas
Recruiting
ATG-031 study (alias: PERFORM) is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 study of ATG-031 in patients with advanced solid tumors or B-NHL. The study design includes a Dose Escalation Phase and a Dose Expansion Phase, and will enroll patients with advanced solid tumors (i.e., preferred tumor types) or relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-NHLs. The study's primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATG-031 and determine the RP2D(Refered Phase II dose) of ATG-031.
