Diffuse midline gliomas are the most aggressive brain tumors of children and young adults: many people with these tumors survive less than two years. A clinical trial led by Sadhana Jackson, M.D., Adjunct Investigator in the Pediatric Oncology Branch, is researching a drug therapy for such brain tumors. The trial will take place at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and there is no cost for participation.
