ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a medication called cabozantinib for patients who have meningioma, a type of brain tumor, that has returned or worsened after standard treatments like surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if cabozantinib can help control the growth of these tumors. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 65 to 74, regardless of gender, who have been diagnosed with meningioma of any grade and have measurable disease.

To be eligible, participants should have experienced disease progression at least six months after their last treatment or be unable to receive standard therapies. They should also have a performance status that indicates they can carry out daily activities and meet specific health criteria related to their blood and organ function. Participants in the trial will receive the study medication and will be monitored closely, with regular visits and assessments to track their health and the response of the tumor to the treatment. This trial offers a chance to access a potentially helpful therapy while contributing to research that could benefit others with similar conditions.
