A Phase 1/2 Trial of CBL0137 (NSC# 825802) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors Including CNS Tumors and Lymphoma

Trial ID: NCT04870944

Interventional - Phase 1/2 - Recruiting

This phase I/II trial evaluates the best dose, side effects and possible benefit of CBL0137 in treating patients with solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors or lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs, such as CBL0137, block signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell. Blocking these signals can affect many functions of the cell, including cell division and cell death, and may kill cancer cells.

• Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Central Nervous System
• Recurrent Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma
