Summary
The purpose of this Phase I/II clinical trial is to evaluate the dosage, safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab in treating pediatric participants with any of the following types of cancer:
Conditions
Glioma
 
Astrocytoma
 
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (grades II-III)
 
Pilocytic astrocytoma (grade I)
 
Brainstem Glioma
Diffuse Midline Glioma
 
Atypical Teratoid / Rhaboid Tumor (AT/RT)
 
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (grade I)
 
Medulloblastoma
Choroid Plexus Tumors
The purpose of this Phase I clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug ramucirumab, in treating children with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including CNS tumors.
Conditions
Glioma
 
Astrocytoma
 
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (grades II-III)
 
Pilocytic astrocytoma (grade I)
 
Brainstem Glioma
Diffuse Midline Glioma
 
Atypical Teratoid / Rhaboid Tumor (AT/RT)
 
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (grade I)
Choroid Plexus Tumors
 
Medulloblastoma
The purpose of this Phase I clinical trial is to study the side effects and best dose of entinostat in treating pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors.
Conditions
Glioma
 
Astrocytoma
 
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (grades II-III)
 
Pilocytic astrocytoma (grade I)
 
Brainstem Glioma
Diffuse Midline Glioma
 
Medulloblastoma
 
Choroid Plexus Tumors
 
Atypical Teratoid / Rhaboid Tumor (AT/RT)
The purpose is to evaluate cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral functioning over time in patients already enrolled in a Children’s Oncology Group Phase III clinical trial.
Conditions
Glioma
 
Astrocytoma
 
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (grades II-III)
 
Brainstem Glioma
 
Diffuse astrocytoma (grade II)
Medulloblastoma
 
Atypical Teratoid / Rhaboid Tumor (AT/RT)
The purpose of this Phase I clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, dosage, and efficacy of entrectinib in treating children and young adults with solid tumors, primary CNS tumors, and neuroblastoma.
Conditions
Glioma
 
Astrocytoma
 
Pilocytic astrocytoma (grade I)
 
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (grades II-III)
 
Glioblastoma (grade IV)
This trial is testing the drug vemurafenib (also called PLX4032) in children with pediatric astrocytomas that have the BRAFV600E mutation. Vemurafenib works by blocking the activity of BRAF, a key protein in the RAS/RAF/MAPK pathway that is overactive in these tumors.

La ozonoterapia contra los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos oncológicos

Hace unos años conocí al doctor Bernardino Clavo, especialista del hospital Doctor Negrín en Gran Canaria.
En ese momento estábamos buscando posibles tratamientos para Roberto. Nos atendió con interés y dedicación. Me pareció un profesional inquieto y dispuesto a buscar caminos que mejoraran la vida y las expectativas de pacientes oncológicos.

Hace un año, en junio de 2017, fue premiado por unos estudios clínicos y preclínicos mostrando la utilidad de la ozonoterapia en distintos efectos secundarios de la terapia oncológica, en la quinta reunión científica de la asociación y VI Congreso de la International Medical Ozone Federation.
