Program Overview
This study is exploring the use of Entrectinib, a new medication, in young patients with advanced or hard-to-treat solid tumors or primary brain tumors. The trial is divided into two phases: Phase 1, which is now closed, focused on finding the right dose for children with solid tumors outside the brain. Phase 2 is looking at how well Entrectinib works in patients with brain tumors or other solid tumors that have specific genetic changes called NTRK1/2/3 or ROS1 gene fusions.
