Evaluating Penetrance of Anticancer Drugs in the Brain in Patients with Brain Cancer, ADePPT Trial

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial evaluates how effective certain drugs are at penetrating brain tumors in patients with primary brain cancer or solid tumor cancers that have spread beyond their original location to the brain (brain metastases) and who are planning to have a surgical procedure to have the brain tumor removed (resected) as part of their standard care. Some patients on this trial may also have a change (mutation) in their KRAS gene (KRAS G12C+). Usual treatment for patients with metastatic brain tumors require patients to undergo radiation therapy or surgery before receiving systemic therapies. This study wants to see how well treating patients with drugs before surgery works and evaluates drug activity in the brain. Giving drugs before surgery may work better in treating patients with metastatic brain cancer who are planning to have brain tumor surgery.
