Phase 1/2 NEO212 for Astrocytoma, Glioblastoma, or Brain Metastases

This study is testing a new oral capsule called NEO212, alone or with other approved cancer medicines like Ipilimumab, Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab, or Regorafenib. It's for adults with certain types of astrocytoma (a type of brain tumor), glioblastoma (an aggressive brain cancer), or other cancers that have spread to the brain (brain metastases). The main goals for the first part of the study are to find a safe dose of NEO212 and see how well it's tolerated over 6 months. This study will also look at how effective NEO212 is in treating these conditions. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older and have stable or decreasing steroid use for at least five days before starting the study.

Study design
This is a multi-site, open-label study with three phases (Phase 1, 2a, and 2b) and plans to enroll up to 134 participants. Phase 1 will involve increasing doses of NEO212 to find the safest and most effective dose.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoints for Phase 1 are measured at 6 months, suggesting follow-up for at least that duration.
