ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND
Diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) are the most aggressive brain tumors of childhood and young adults, with documented 2-year survival rates <10%. Treatment failure is due in part to the function of the BBB. Intratumoral microdialysis sampling is an effective tool to determine brain entry of varied agents and could help to provide a better understanding of the relationship of drug permeability to DMG treatment response. METHODS
This is a non-randomized, single-center, phase 1 clinical trial. Up to seven young adult (18-39 years) patients with recurrent high-grade or diffuse midline glioma will be enrolled with the goal of 5 patients completing the trial over an anticipated 24 months. All patients will take abemaciclib pre-operatively for 4.5 days at twice d
