Conditions
Medulloblastoma
The study will use a new treatment approach based on the molecular characteristics of each participant’s tumor by testing the feasibility of performing real-time drug screening on tissue taken during surgery, and of having a specialized tumor board assign a treatment plan based on the results of this screening and genomic sequencing.
Conditions
Glioma
Astrocytoma
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (grades II-III)
Pilocytic astrocytoma (grade I)
Brainstem Glioma
Diffuse Midline Glioma
Medulloblastoma
Choroid Plexus Tumors
Atypical Teratoid / Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT)
The purpose is to evaluate cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral functioning over time in patients already enrolled in a Children’s Oncology Group Phase III clinical trial.
Conditions
Medulloblastoma
This phase II clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy of reduced craniospinal radiation therapy in combination with chemotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed WNT-driven medulloblastoma.
Conditions
Glioma
Astrocytoma
Anaplastic astrocytoma (grade III)
Glioblastoma (grade IV)
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (grades II-III)
Ependymoma
Medulloblastoma
Oligodendroglioma
Pilocytic astrocytoma (grade I)
Atypical Teratoid / Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT)
Brainstem Glioma
Diffuse Midline Glioma
Pineal Region Tumors
This phase II clinical trial tests the use of a precision medicine approach in treating pediatric patients with recurrent solid tumors, including central nervous system tumors.
Conditions
Medulloblastoma
Atypical Teratoid / Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT)
This Phase I clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MV-NIS, which is administered via injection into the tumor site or subarachnoid space, in treating children and young adults with recurrent medulloblastoma or AT/RT.
