Myocet® in Children With Relapsed or Refractory Non-brainstem Malignant Glioma

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Malignant Glioma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02861222
Lead Sponsor
Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the toxicity and tolerance of Myocet® in children and adolescents with refractory or relapsed malignant glioma, with a dose diminished of 20% of the dose recommended for adults and a dose recommended for adults, administered in single dose in 1-hour perfusion each 21 days.

Other purposes are to determine the recommended dose of Myocet and to assess the response to drug. Pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin (free and encapsulated forms) and its metabolite doxorubicinol during 72 hours after Myocet administration will also be studied.
