Summary
This study tests a device that uses sound waves to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing a chemotherapy drug (doxorubicin) to reach a hard-to-treat brain tumor called DIPG in children and young adults. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can improve drug delivery. About 10 participants aged 5 to 21 will be enrolled.
