Lay Summary: We are testing the efficacy of treatment with metformin for promoting cognitive recovery and brain growth in children/adolescents treated for medulloblastoma in a multi-site Phase III randomized double-blind placebo-controlled parallel arm superiority trial. Specifically, we ask: in children/adolescents aged 7 years to 17 years and 11 months who have completed treatment for medulloblastoma, is oral administration of metformin for 16 weeks associated with greater improvement of cognitive function and brain growth compared to placebo administered for 16 weeks?
