Official title
A Feasibility Study Examining the Use of Non-Invasive Focused Ultrasound (FUS) With Oral Etoposide Administration in Children With Progressive Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The blood brain barrier (BBB) prevents some drugs from successfully reaching the target tumor. Focused Ultrasound (FUS) using microbubbles and neuro-navigator controlled sonication is a non-invasive method of temporarily opening up the blood brain barrier to allow a greater concentration of the drug to reach into the brain tumor. This may improve response and may also reduce system side effects in the patient. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of safely opening the blood brain barrier in children with progressive diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) treated with oral etoposide using focused ultrasound with microbubbles and neuro-navigator-controlled sonication. For the purpose of the study, the investigators will be opening up the blood brain barrier temporarily in one or two locations around the tumor using the non-invasive focused ultrasound technology, and administrating oral etoposide in children with progressive diffuse midline glioma.
