Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to improve overall survival while maintaining a good quality of life in pediatric patients with refractory or recurrent brain tumors (medulloblastomas, supratentorial PNETs, ependymomas WHO grade II and III). Response to different chemotherapy options (intravenous versus oral chemotherapy, intraventricular chemotherapy) as part of a multimodal therapy will be assessed. Progression-free, overall survival and toxicity will be evaluated additionally.

Detailed Description

Parts of the study: P-HIT-REZ-2005: a trial for the treatment of relapsed PNETs (medulloblastomas,supratentorial PNETs) E-HIT-REZ-2005: a trial for the treatment of relapsed ependymomas (Phase II-Study with temozolomide) Phase II-Study: intraventricular therapy with etoposide in neoplastic meningitis in relapsed PNETs and ependymomas with subarachnoid tumor manifestation (window study)
