About this trial
To find effective treatments for DIPG and DMG, researchers need to better understand how the diseases work. Because DIPGs and DMGs are rare compared to adult brain tumors, most hospitals see few patients with these tumors, making it difficult for researchers to collect enough information to look for new treatments. And because most DIPGs are not biopsied, researchers do not have access to large numbers of tumor samples for research. The DIPG/DMG Registry will collect information and tumor samples from DIPG and DMG patients around the world and make it available to researchers studying the disease.
