Official Title: Phase 1 Study of Replication Competent Reovirus (Reolysin®) in Combination With GM-CSF in Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Brain Tumors

Brief Summary: This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of wild-type reovirus (viral therapy) when given with sargramostim in treating younger patients with high grade brain tumors that have come back or that have not responded to standard therapy. A virus, called wild-type reovirus, which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells. Sargramostim may increase the production of blood cells and may promote the tumor cell killing effects of wild-type reovirus. Giving wild-type reovirus together with sargramostim may kill more tumor cells.
