Summary

This trial is testing whether it's safe to give patients with brain cancer an infusion of panobinostat directly into their brain, and whether the treatment has any effect on the cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adults with recurrent medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer. Participants must have stable neurological conditions, adequate liver function (with consultations if needed), and agree to an implanted catheter for treatment delivery. Pregnant or lactating women, those on other trials, or recently treated with chemotherapy/radiation are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and tumor-fighting ability of panobinostat (MTX110) infusions directly into the fourth ventricle or resection cavity in the brain. The effectiveness will be monitored through MRI scans and cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, potential side effects may include local reactions at infusion sites, changes in liver enzymes indicative of liver damage, cardiac issues like prolonged QT interval which can affect heart rhythm, blood disorders due to bone marrow suppression such as low white cell counts increasing infection risk.
