Study Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of volitinib in treating patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors that have come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Volitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Primary Outcome

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of savolitinib were determined using a Rolling-6 Phase I dose-escalation design. Dose escalation was conducted in cohorts of two to six participants, starting at Dose Level 1. The MTD was defined based on the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities during the dose-finding period (Course 1: 28 days) according to protocol-specified criteria. No intra-patient dose escalation was permitted. Participants were considered evaluable fo
