Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for children and young adults with specific types of recurrent or hard-to-treat brain tumors. Participants will receive a new treatment called G207, which is an experimental virus therapy, and may also receive radiation therapy to help it work better.

About This Trial

This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of inoculating G207 (an experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication, tumor cell killing, and an anti-tumor immune response, will also be tested.
