About this study
There are very few, effective treatments for aggressive pediatric brain and solid tumors. These tumors include those that come back after treatment, also known as recurrent, and tumors that don’t respond to therapy, also known as refractive.
Researchers have tested new, experimental drugs to find a treatment that may fight these kinds of tumors better. One of those drugs is called selinexor, also known as KPT-330. Selinexor has shown promise in fighting cancer in test tubes and animals. It has also been used in adults with no severe side effects, but doctors don’t yet know if younger patients will respond in the same way. St. Jude is offering this Phase I study to see how selinexor can benefit children, adolescents and young adults with these kinds of tumors.
