The short version

This study is testing a drug called digoxin in young people whose medulloblastoma came back.

Who this trial is for. This trial is for children and young adults with medulloblastoma that came back. It is for the non-SHH, non-WNT types of this tumor. The trial is testing how well a drug called digoxin works.

Where it stands. This trial has not reported results. It is measuring how well digoxin works against these tumors. The answer is not in yet.

What this means, and what it doesn't

What it could mean: A drug used for other health problems is being tested against this tumor. Nobody knows yet if it helps. Someone who fits this picture could ask their care team about the trial.

What it doesn't mean: This does not mean digoxin treats medulloblastoma. A trial is a test, not a proven treatment. Joining one is not a promise that it will help you. It is not a cure.
