Phase 1b Study PVSRIPO for Recurrent Malignant Glioma in Children

PVSRIPO will be delivered intratumorally by convection-enhanced delivery (CED) using an intracerebral catheter placed within the enhancing portion of the tumor. A stereotactic biopsy will be performed prior to virus administration. Immediately following the stereotactically-guided tumor biopsy, a catheter will be implanted in the operating room at a site the same or different from that used for the biopsy using sterile techniques under general anesthesia. The entire volume of PVSRIPO to be delivered will be pre-loaded into a syringe by the investigational pharmacist and connected to the catheter under sterile conditions in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) just prior to beginning of infusion.
