Phase II Study of Intraventricular Methotrexate in Children With Recurrent or Progressive Malignant Brain Tumors
A Phase II Study of Intraventricular Methotrexate With Systemic Topotecan and Cyclophosphamide in Children With Recurrent or Progressive Malignant Brain Tumors
The purpose of this research study is to test an experimental treatment method for recurrent or progressive brain tumors in children aged from 0-22 years. The use of methotrexate and chemotherapy (topotecan and cyclophosphamide) is experimental in this study. This means that their use by themselves or together has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for this usage.

Leptomeningeal dissemination of a previously diagnosed CNS tumor.
Diagnosis of tumor pathology will be based upon pathology diagnosis from previous surgeries for patients with recurrent tumors.
Patients must have received prior radiation before current recurrence, unless the patient is less than 36 months old at diagnosis and has progressed after at least one upfront chemotherapy regimen in which case no prior radiation is required.
Patients must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks as indicated by the patient's oncologist and/or neurosurgeon.
