Brief Summary

Glioblastoma (GBM) and diffuse intrinsic bridge gliomas (DIPG) only the most aggressive forms of cancer, and their prognosis remains bleak. Currently, the standard of treatment is TMZ concomitant with radiotherapy, and, at the end of combined treatment, as adjuvant therapy. In vitro and in vivo experimental studies have suggested that anthracyclines are effective antineoplastics for the treatment of gliomas. In patients with solid tumors treated with anthracyclines, continuous infusion administration compared with bolus administration has been shown to provide a better safety profile especially with regard to cardiotoxicity. Based on this evidence, this study aims to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of combined treatment with Dox, WBRT (whole body radiotherapy), and TMZ in pediatric and young adult patients affected by GMB

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Event-free survival (EFS), disease progression (PFS), and overall survival (OS)through study completion, an average of 1 year

Event-free survival (EFS) calculated as the time between the date of enrolment and the date of occurrence of one of the events:

* disease progression established according to the modified RANO criteria for paediatric age

* clear progression of non-measurable lesions (T1);

* - any new lesion;

* clinical deterioration due to the tumour and not attributable to other causes (e.g, seizures, adverse drug effects, complications of therapy, cerebrovascular events infections and so on);

* failure to return for evaluation following death (from any cause) or deterioration of condition;

* and other described in the protocol
