UrduFor the first time, researchers have found a potential drug candidate that improved outcomes for patients with a type of childhood brain tumor for which there are no effective treatments. The compound, called ONC201, nearly doubled survival for patients with diffuse midline glioma (DMG) or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), compared to previous patients.

Tumor DNA in Spinal Fluid Could Help Doctors Better Monitor Childhood Brain Cancer
Researchers have demonstrated that a new liquid biopsy approach overcomes traditional barriers to quickly and efficiently diagnose and monitor high-grade pediatric gliomas.
Study Suggests New Potential Approach Against Fatal Childhood Brain Cancer
In mouse models of DIPG, simultaneously attacking two metabolic pathways led to significant improvements in survival.
Study: Despite failures, chemo still promising against dangerous childhood brain cancer, DIPG
Chemotherapy has been so unsuccessful against DIPG that researchers have questioned whether chemotherapy drugs are even able to reach the cancer. University of Colorado Cancer Center study shows, “… medicine does reach DIPG tissue in good quantities that have the potential to be effective against the tumor,” says lead researcher.
