Trial of NLG802 Indoximod Prodrug Plus Temozolomide for Patients With Progressive Pediatric Brain Cancer

Starting soon · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Progressive Pediatric Brain Cancer

In brief

This is a open label Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of escalating oral doses of NLG802, an investigational agent intended to inhibit the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) enzyme, in combination with temozolomide chemotherapy in children with primary brain tumors.
