First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a drug combination called antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal and Astugenal) to standard radiation helps people aged 3-21 with a newly diagnosed, aggressive brainstem tumor (DIPG) live longer. About 92 participants will be randomly assigned to get either radiation alone or radiation plus the antineoplaston drugs. The main goal is to see if the combination improves overall survival and to check for side effects.
