Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Summary

This is a dose escalation and expansion trial. In the dose escalation phase of the trial, eligible patients will receive 75mg/m2/day 5'azacytidine on Days 1-7. This will be followed by escalating doses of carboplatin on Day 14, using a rolling 6 design. In this phase of the trial, carboplatin will be dosed initially at AUC 4. For dose level -1 the dose of 5'azacytidine will be reduced to to 50mg/m2/day. The dose expansion phase will be split into two arms according to whether eligible patients have a posterior fossa- or supratentorial- ependymoma. In both arms, patients will receive 5'azacytidine (on days 1-7) and carboplatin (on day 14) at the maximum tolerated dose achieved in the dose escalation phase.
