Study Description
Some solid tumours and some brain tumours shares common a common feature that is called "deregulation of the ErbB-pathway". Afatinib is an drug, taken by mouth, that can block proteins from the ErbB-family and could be efficient in pediatric tumours with Erb pathway deregulation.
The aim of this study is to find the maximum tolerated dose of afatinib, and to assess its activity against tumours.
