Summary

Background:

Ependymomas are rare tumors that arise from the ependyma. That is a tissue of the central nervous system. They can develop in the brain or the spine. They are usually treated with surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if the new drug marizomib can help people with a certain kind of ependymoma.

Objective:

To see if marizomib stops tumor growth and prolongs the time that the tumor is controlled.

Eligibility:

Adults age 18 and older who have been diagnosed with ependymomas and have already been treated with standard therapies

Design:

Participants will be screened with the following tests or recent results from similar tests:

* Medical history
* Physical exam
* Neurological assessment
* Electrocardiogram (EKG) to evaluate the heart
* Review of symptoms and ability to perform normal activities
* Computed tomographic scan (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to produce an image of the brain or spine.
* Blood and urine tests
* Tests of tumor samples. Participants may have to have new tumor samples taken.

Participants will get the study drug in cycles. Each cycle is 4 weeks. Participants will have up to 24 cycles.

Participants will get the study drug through a small plastic tube in a vein on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle.

During each cycle, some screening tests will be repeated.

Participants will answer questions about their general well-being and functioning.

About 4 5 weeks after finishing the study drug, participants will have a follow-up visit. They will answer questions about their health, get a physical and a neurological exam, and have blood tests. They may have an MRI or CT scan.
