Primary Outcome Measures:

The rate of objective confirmed tumor response of irinotecan in combination with temozolomide in children with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma and in children with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. [ Time Frame: within 2 to 4 cycles depending on cohort ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Time to tumor progression (TTP) [ Time Frame: until progression ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Time to treatment failure (TTF) [ Time Frame: until treatment failure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

The safety and tolerability of the combination of irinotecan and temozolomide [ Time Frame: 28 days after the last dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
The duration of tumor response [ Time Frame: until progression ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
