First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests a vaccine called PEP-CMV in 120 children and young adults with certain aggressive brain tumors (high-grade glioma, DIPG, or recurrent medulloblastoma). The vaccine targets a common virus (CMV) found in these tumors, aiming to train the immune system to attack the cancer. Participants receive the vaccine after standard treatments like radiation. The goal is to see if it helps slow tumor growth or improve survival.
