Summary
This study tests whether a special ultrasound device can safely open the blood-brain barrier in children with a rare, aggressive brain tumor called DIPG. By temporarily allowing the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin to reach the tumor, researchers hope to improve treatment. The study involves 10 children aged 5 to 21 and focuses on safety and how well the barrier opens.
