Phase 2

Study Overview: This trial tests four drugs: vismodegib, FAK inhibitor GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib in patients with worsening meningiomas, a type of brain tumor. These drugs aim to stop tumor growth by blocking enzymes that help cells grow.

Key Points:

  • This study involves taking medication orally and participating in cycles that last 28 days.
  • Participants are assigned to one of four treatments based on specific genetic mutations in their tumors.
  • After treatment, participants will be monitored every 6 months for up to 5 years.

Eligibility: To join, participants must have a specific type of brain tumor confirmed by tests, and specific genetic mutations in their tumors. They should not have certain health conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, liver disease, or major recent surgeries. Participants must be stable on steroid doses and cannot be pregnant or nursing.

Considerations: Before joining, it's important to discuss potential side effects and the requirement for regular monitoring with your doctor. Participants need to meet specific health criteria to ensure safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
