Assess the Progression Free of Patients Treated on This Study Protocol to Aid in the Future Development of Pediatric Phase II/III Studies Using the Optune NovoTTF-200A System. Secondary · Up to 2 years after study entry

Number of patients who are progression-free. Disease progression is defined as 25% or more increase in the product of perpendicular diameters of ANY target lesion, taking as reference the smallest product observed since the start of treatment (see exception below), OR the appearance of one or more new lesions, OR worsening neurologic status not explained by causes unrelated to tumor progression (e.g., anticonvulsant or corticosteroid toxicity, electrolyte disturbances, sepsis, hyperglycemia, presumed post-therapy swelling etc.) PLUS any increase in tumor cross-sectional area (or tumor volume).
