Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a phase 2, single-arm, multi-center study, with a safety review component, designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab in approximately 44 patients with recurrent diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) following one previous regimen for their disease. Patients must be diagnosed with radiologically verified recurrent diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma that is measurable in at least two dimensions. Patients are eligible without histologic confirmation. Treatment regimen will consist of two phases-induction and consolidation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Single arm

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

nimotuzumab (anti EGFR humanized monoclonal antibody)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

150 mg/m2 I.V. Induction phase: infusions once a week for 8 weeks. Consolidation phase: infusions once every 2 weeks for 10 weeks. Patients may then continue on the consolidation regimen of nimotuzumab, until disease progression or the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity.
