Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Written informed consent of patients and/or parents • Female or male, aged between 0 and 18 years (at time of initial diagnosis) • CNS tumor with leptomeningeal dissemination or risk of leptomeningeal dissemination of any histology • Ongoing treatment with intravenous or oral antibiotics for therapeutic reasons • Ongoing treatment with intrathecal administered chemotherapy via an Ommaya reservoir for therapeutic reasons • Life expectancy of at least 8 weeks Are the trial subjects under 18? yes Number of subjects for this age range: 40 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from 0 to last observed concentration (AUC0-t), AUC from 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24), calculated by multiplying AUC0-t by 24/t, maximum concentration (Cmax), minimum concentration (Cmin), average concentration (Cav), time to maximum concentration (Tmax), half-life (t1/2), concentration during therapy and at defined time points after end of therapy (Cx). All variables will be calculated at steady-state both in CSF and in plasma.;Secondary Objective: - PK/PD relationships: ratio of the CSF AUC0-24 to the minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC0-24/MIC); percentage of the dosing interval during which drug concentrations in CSF exceed the MIC (%T>MIC); ratio of the peak CSF concentration to the MIC (Cmax/MIC) determination of target attainment for relevant pathogens - Determination of target attainment for relevant pathogens ;Primary end point(s): Levels of antibiotics in CSF and plasma identified;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Levels of antibiotics in CSF and plasma identified

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Levels of antibiotics in CSF and plasma identified;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Levels of antibiotics in CSF and plasma identified
