To provide DFMO in an expanded use setting to subjects with relapsed rare tumors with
increased LIN28 expression or MYCN amplification or up regulation of ornithine decarboxylase.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Age: 0-30 years at the time of initial diagnosis.

- Diagnosis: Histologic verification at either the time of original diagnosis or a
previous relapse of High Risk neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, atypical teratoid
rhabdoid tumor, embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes,
ependymoblastoma, medulloepithelioma and other rare pediatric MYC, ODC or LIN28/Let7
driven tumors (each type will form a new subset).

- Disease Status: Subjects must be in one of the following disease categories:

1. High risk neuroblastoma patients that have completed standard of care upfront
therapy and are not eligible for NMTRC014.

2. Medulloblastoma patients who have completed standard of care therapies.

3. Relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma patients who have completed standard of care
therapies.

4. Rare tumors with increased LIN28 expression or MYCN amplification or up
regulation of ornithine decarboxylase who have completed standard of care
therapies.

- Subjects are not eligible to enroll on DFMO studies NMTRC002, NMTRC003, NMTRC010, or
NMTRC014.

- A negative serum or urine pregnancy test is required for female subjects of child
bearing potential (onset of menses or ≥13 years of age).

- Both male and female post-pubertal study subjects need to agree to use one of the more
effective birth control methods during treatment and for six months after treatment is
stopped. These methods include total abstinence (no sex), oral contraceptives ("the
pill"), an intrauterine device (IUD), levonorgestrol implants (Norplant), or
medroxyprogesterone acetate injections (Depo-provera shots). If one of these cannot be
used, contraceptive foam with a condom is recommended.

- Informed Consent: All subjects and/or legal guardians must sign informed written
consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to institutional
guidelines
