A Phase II trial of SMO/AKT/NF2/CDK inhibitors in progressive meningiomas with SMO/AKT/NF2/CDK pathway mutations (A071401)

General Information

Age Group

Adults

Status

Recruiting

Protocol Number

NCT02523014

Background Information

The purpose of this study is to test good and bad effects of four different drugs against meningioma tumors with altered genes. Today, therapy for meningioma is the same for all patients, and is not based on tumor genetic testing. This trial is trying to see if tumor genetic testing would be helpful at guiding treatment. Researchers have looked at the DNA material (genes) that can be affected in meningioma and have found several genes that are altered, or mutated. These include the genes called SMO, PTCH1, NF2, AKT1, PIK3CA and PTEN. When these genes are altered, it can cause a tumor to grow. This study will test medications that target these genes.
