Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this registry include patients of any age with a current or past diagnosis of DIPG or DMG.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without a diagnosis of DIPG or DMG will not benefit from participation in this registry.

What this trial studies
This registry aims to collect clinical information and tumor tissue samples from patients diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). By establishing a central repository, researchers will gather data on the biology of these tumors to improve diagnosis and treatment methods. The registry will include both newly diagnosed and previously diagnosed patients, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the disease. Data collected will include clinical, demographic, radiological, and pathological information, facilitating future research collaborations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could lead to improved diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients with DIPG and DMG.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies focusing on tumor registries have shown success in advancing research and treatment options for similar conditions.
