Study Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to establish the safety of direct administration of 5-Azacytidine into the fourth ventricle of the brain or resection cavity in patients with recurrent posterior fossa ependymoma.

Primary Outcome

New neurological deficit defined as new cranial neuropathy, nystagmus, change in mental status, motor deficit or cerebellar finding (ataxia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesis) that is attributed by treating physicians to intraventricular 5-Azacytidine infusions. Primary endpoint for basis of safety monitoring is acute toxicity occurring at any time within 30 days of receiving the intraventricular 5-Azacytidine infusion. Rate of acute toxicity monitored using Bayesian method of Thall and Sung. Method
