  • Objective

    To evaluate the efficacy of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) as a single agent in preventing
    relapse in patients with molecular high risk and very high risk medulloblastoma, and
    relapsed/refractory medulloblastoma based upon the 2-year progression-free survival rate
    (PFS) compared to relevant historical controls.

  • Key Eligibility

    Age: 0-21 years of age at diagnosis
    Pathology All patients must either have a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of medulloblastoma with molecular grouping identified by either Nanostring or methylation profiling.
