This is a 2 strata pilot trial within the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC). The study will use a new treatment approach based on each patient's tumor gene expression, whole-exome sequencing (WES), targeted panel profile (UCSF 500 gene panel), and RNA-Seq. The current study will test the efficacy of such an approach in children with High-grade gliomas HGG.
For children with High-grade gliomas (HGG) including HGG presenting within the midline structures of the brain and spine, outcome remains poor and the majority of children die from this disease. The current study will use a new treatment approach based on each patient's tumor gene expression, whole-exome sequencing (WES), targeted panel profile (UCSF 500 gene panel), and RNA-Seq. This treatment strategy has shown promising results in adult patients with solid tumors and is currently being explored in children with DIPG, neuroblastoma and other solid tumors. The current study will test the efficacy of such an approach in children with HGG for which outcomes remain dismal.

Based on the molecular profile, the specialized tumor board will determine an individualized treatment recommendation for each patient using up to four FDA approved drugs. In special circumstances, Investigational new drug (IND) study agents may be used.

12 month Progression Free Survival (PFS) for Stratum A
Progression Free Survival will be determined from date of confirmation of response to first evidence of progression or death at the 12 month time point.
Time frame: Up to 12 months
12 month Overall Survival (OS) for Stratum B
Overall survival will be determined from the date of histological diagnosis to time of death at the 12 month time point.
Time frame: Up to 12 months
Frequency of Adverse Events
Toxicity will be described by reporting Adverse Events (AE). Events will be assessed according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0. All study-related and unrelated AEs will be collected and reported, together with their maximum intensity among all recorded respective AE.
Time frame: From beginning of enrollment up to 30 days post end of treatment.
Frequency of Serious Adverse Events
Toxicity will be described by reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE). Events will be assessed according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0. All study-related and unrelated Serious Adverse Events (SAE) will be collected and reported, together with their maximum intensity among all recorded respective SAE.
Time frame: From beginning of enrollment up to 30 days post end of treatment.
