Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and tolerability of simultaneous infusions of 5-Azacytidine and trastuzumab into the fourth ventricle of the brain or resection cavity in patients with recurrent posterior fossa ependymoma and to assess the antitumor activity of simultaneous infusions of 5-Azacytidine and trastuzumab into the fourth ventricle of the brain or resection cavity in patients based upon imaging studies and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology.

Primary Outcome

A new neurological deficit will be defined as new cranial neuropathy, change in level of consciousness, motor weakness, gait change or cerebellar finding (ataxia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesis) that is attributed by treating physicians to infusions. New neurological deficits graded as Grade 3 or higher after infusions will be defined as serious adverse events (SAE's)
