Ribociclib and Everolimus Following Radiotherapy in Patients with High-Grade Glioma, and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, Harboring Cell Cycle and/or PI3K/mTOR Pathway Genetic Changes (A TarGeT Treatment Trial)

Trial Status: active

This phase II TarGeT trial studies how well giving ribociclib and everolimus after radition therapy works in treating pediatric and young adult patients with high-grade glioma or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma that have genetic changes (mutations) in pathways (cell cycle/PI3K/mTOR) that these drugs target. The PI3K/mTOR pathway gene mutation is a change in the sequence of one or more genes that are involved in the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Everolimus is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors and works by stopping tumor cells from reproducing and by decreasing blood supply to the tumor cells. Ribociclib works by blocking specific growth signals within tumor cells and thus preventing the growth of these cells. Giving ribociclib and everolimus after radiation therapy may kill any remaining tumor cells.
