Conditions

High Risk Supratentorial PNET, Metastatic Medulloblastoma, Metastatic PNET

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy of the combination of reduced dose craniospinal radiation (reduced from standard of care dosing at 36 Gy to 24 Gy) with concurrent carboplatin and vincristine administration for metastatic classical histology medulloblastomas and high-risk supratentorial PNETs and metastatic PNETs.

Interventions

DRUGCarboplatin

Administered concurrently with craniospinal radiation.

DRUGVincristine

Administered concurrently with craniospinal radiation.

RADIATION24 Gy

Craniospinal radiation.
