Medulloblastoma

Fourth Ventricular Administration of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (Nivolumab) and Methotrexate or 5-Azacytidine for Recurrent Medulloblastoma, Ependymoma, and other CNS Malignancies

Investigator: David I. Sandberg, MD

Purpose: The study employs a novel means of treating these tumors: infusion of two agents directly into the fourth ventricle or tumor resection cavity rather than systemic intravenous delivery. All enrolled patients will receive infusions of Nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Patients with ependymoma will additionally receive infusions of 5-azacytidine, and patients with medulloblastoma and other tumors will additionally receive infusions of methotrexate. There will be no simultaneous systemic chemotherapy.

Key Inclusion Criteria: Open to patients age 2 to 80 with recurrent medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and certain other tumors that start or recur in the posterior fossa (back of the brain)

NCT#: 06466798; https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06466798
