Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to find out if children and young adults with high-grade gliomas who have specific genetic changes (mutations) have better outcomes when they are treated with drugs that "target" those genetic changes. We first need to collect detailed information about the genetic changes within participants' brain tumors. If someone's brain tumor has a targeted genetic change, they may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial with a drug that specifically targets those genetic changes.
Who Can Participate?
Eligibility
Children and adults ages 1-39 who:
- Are newly diagnosed with high-grade glioma (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma [DIPG] are eligible)
