Study Summary

This trial studies how well fimepinostat works in treating patients with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or medulloblastoma, or high-grade glioma that have come back. Fimepinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Primary Outcome

Will be analyzed using descriptive statistics from results of fimepinostat concentrations measured within the tumor tissue collected at the time of a standard of care surgery or biopsy. Within each strata, Simon's two-stage design will be used.
