About this trial

The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the 1) ribociclib and everolimus to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma (HGG), including DIPG, that have genetic changes in pathways (cell cycle, PI3K/mTOR) that these drugs target or 2) ribociclib and temozolomide to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with diffuse hemispheric glioma (DHG), H3G34-mutant.

The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combinations of ribociclib and everolimus or ribociclib and temozolomide can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with HGG/DIPG or DHG H3G34-mutant.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Stratum A: Patients with localized, intracranial, non-pontine, and non-thalamic HGG (who do not meet criteria for strata C-D)

Stratum B: Patients with DIPG

Stratum C: Patients with primary thalamic, spinal cord, and/or secondary/radiation-related HGG.

Stratum D: Patients with metastatic/disseminated HGG, multifocal HGG, and/or gliomatosis cerebri who received CSI.

Disqualifiers

Pregnant or Breast-Feeding Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to known potential risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal. Patients of childbearing or child fathering potential must agree to use at least one highly effective method of contraception while being treated on this study and for 3 months after completing therapy. A woman is considered of childbearing potential if she is fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient. A man is considered fertile after puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy. Male participants should refrain from sperm donation throughout the duration of treatment and for 3 months after completion of therapy
