Targeting Pediatric Brain Tumors and Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors With Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors (SGLT2i) (NCT05521984)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is a pilot phase Ib study of the safety of dapagliflozin (in addition to standard of care treatment) for the treatment of pediatric patients with recurrent brain tumors and relapsed/refractory solid tumors. The primary hypothesis is that dapagliflozin is well-tolerated and safe to use in this patient population. The investigators also hypothesize that dapagliflozin will be efficacious as an adjunct to front-line chemotherapy assessed by decreased tumor markers mediated by its pleiotropic metabolic effects.
