At 22 years old, did you know that PBTC (who we love!), is one of the strongest NCI founded consortiums focused on improving the treatment of pediatric brain tumors?

Great research at work! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33631016/ "Over 70% of children with recurrent optic pathway/hypothalamic low-grade glioma had shrinkage or stability of their tumor using selumetinib (an oral agent)."

PBTC isn't just about research; it's about strategy. We use 5 main cores (biostatistics, imaging, pharma, genomics and pathology) to enhance every trial we implement.

Trial Alert: PBTC-055 Phase I trial for BRAF or NF1 gliomas in children and young adults is enrolling. This combination harnesses some laboratory work that shows that the addition of the agent HCQ may help overcome the resistance that tumors develop to these targeted therapies.

Trial Alert: 5.PBTC-051 Phase I Study to evaluate CD40 with pediatric recurrent/refractory brain tumors and newly diagnosed brain stem glioma has slots available. This agent promotes CD40 which is an important regulator of the body’s immune system attack on tumor cells.
