Summary
This study tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can help children and young adults with a rare brain tumor called PFA ependymoma that has come back or is growing. About 30 participants will receive metformin to see if it can slow tumor growth and change certain markers in the tumor. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it.
