Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug VRT106 to standard radiation therapy can help control a rare, fast-growing brain tumor called diffuse midline glioma (including DIPG) in adults. About 10 participants aged 18 to 75 will receive the combination treatment. The main goal is to see how well the tumor is controlled and to check for side effects.
