Study Summary

This study seeks to determine the optimum dose frequency of 5-Azacytidin (5-AZA) infusions into the fourth ventricle of the brain. The study's primary objective is to establish the maximum tolerated dose for infusions of 5-Azacytidine into the fourth ventricle in patients with recurrent ependymoma. The study's secondary objective is to assess the antitumor activity of 5-Azacytidine infusions into the fourth ventricle based upon imaging studies and cytology.

Primary Outcome

Dose-limiting toxicity will be defined as any of the following events: New neurological deficit (grade 3 or higher) probably or definitely attributed to intraventricular 5-azacytidine infusions. New adverse event involving any organ probably or definitely attributed to intraventricular 5-azacytidine infusions with the specific exclusion of: Grade 3 or higher nausea and vomiting \< 3 days duration and grade 3 or higher headache \< 3 days duration.
