This study will test the safety and efficacy of intra-arterial chemotherapy in subjects with newly diagnosed, residual, or recurrent atypical choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma prior to a second surgery. It is believed that intra-arterial chemotherapy will be safe and feasible for this population and will result in decreased tumor size, which may further improve the goals of a second-look surgery.
The intent of this study is to determine if intra-arterial chemotherapy is a safe and effective option for subjects with atypical choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma prior to receiving second-look surgery. Angiography occurs when a catheter is inserted through the subjects vasculature to the major vessels that supply cerebral circulation. Subjects on this trial will undergo a a cerebral angiogram to determine the ideal arteries to use for drug infusion. Once identified, chemotherapy will be delivered through the catheter directly to the site of tumor.

Safety of intra-arterial chemotherapy in subjects with ACPP and CPC, measured by the number of serious adverse events that are reported as at least possible related to the intervention that occur in subjects on the trial
Time frame: Through study completion, a little over a year for each subject
The number of successful angiography procedures, determined by examination of vasculature and assessment of catheter placement
Time frame: On Day 1 of the trial for each subject
The number of patients with a tumor volume reduction response, determined by MRI assessments
Time frame: Between 4-6 weeks after intra-arterial chemotherapy
The proportion of patients with a tumor volume reduction response, determined by MRI assessments
Time frame: Between 4-6 weeks after intra-arterial chemotherapy
The number of patients with a tumor vascularity reduction response, determined by MRI assessments
Time frame: Between 4-6 weeks after intra-arterial chemotherapy
The proportion of patients with a tumor vascularity reduction response, determined by MRI assessments
Time frame: Between 4-6 weeks after intra-arterial chemotherapy
The success of second look surgery determined by measuring the extent of tumor resection
Time frame: Around 7 weeks after intra-arterial chemotherapy, during second look surgery
The success of second look surgery determined by amount of blood loss
Time frame: Around 7 weeks after intra-arterial chemotherapy, during second look surgery
The success of second look surgery determined by percent of blood loss
Time frame: Around 7 weeks after intra-arterial chemotherapy, during second look surgery
