Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the feasibility of hypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) in the palliative treatment of recurrent diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Participants will receive 15 Gy in 3 fractions as opposed to the standard 20 Gy in 10 fractions.
