Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy
Treatment: Other - Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
Other interventions - Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Treatment: Drugs - Vorinostat

Experimental: Arm 1 Phase I Vorinostat 180 mg/m^2 - Patients in phase I received vorinostat at 180 mg/m\^2/day PO on Monday through Friday weekly for the duration of radiation therapy (6-7 weeks). Patients underwent 3D conformal or intensity-modulated radiation therapy 5 days per week for 6 weeks. After completing concurrent vorinostat and radiation therapy, patients then received maintenance therapy comprising of vorinostat at 230 mg/m\^2/day PO on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Experimental: Arm 2 Phase 1 Vorinostat 230 mg/m^2 - Patients received a higher dose of vorinostat at 230 mg/m\^2/day PO on Monday through Friday weekly for the duration of radiation therapy (6-7 weeks). Patients underwent 3D conformal or intensity-modulated radiation therapy 5 days per week for 6 weeks. After completing concurrent vorinostat and radiation therapy, patients then received maintenance therapy comprising of vorinostat at 230 mg/m\^2/day PO on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Experimental: Arm 3 Phase II Evaluation Vorinostat 230 mg/m^2 - Patients received a higher dose of vorinostat at 230 mg/m\^2/day PO on Monday through Friday weekly for the duration of radiation therapy (6-7 weeks). Patients underwent 3D conformal or intensity-modulated radiation therapy 5 days per week for 6 weeks. After completing concurrent vorinostat and radiation therapy, patients then received maintenance therapy comprising of vorinostat at 230 mg/m\^2/ day PO on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Patients with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), defined as tumors with a pontine epicenter and diffuse involvement of at least 2/3 of the pons, are eligible without histologic confirmation; patients with brainstem tumors that do not meet these criteria or not considered to be typical intrinsic pontine gliomas will only be eligible if the tumors are biopsied and proven to be an anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme, gliosarcoma, or anaplastic mixed glioma; patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma, fibrillary astrocytoma, gangliogliomas, or other mixed gliomas without anaplasia are not eligible; patients with disseminated disease are not eligible, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spine must be performed if disseminated disease is suspected by the treating physician
* Karnofsky >= 50% for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky >= 50 for patients =< 16 years of age; patients who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score
* Patients must not have received any prior treatment except dexamethasone and/or surgery
* Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1000/uL
* Platelet count >= 100,000/uL (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions within a 7 day period prior to enrollment)
* Hemoglobin >= 8.0 g/dL (may receive red blood cell [RBC] transfusions)
* Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 70ml/min/1.73 m^2 or a serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:

* 0.8 mg/dL (3 to < 6 years of age)
* 1 mg/dL (6 to < 10 years of age)
* 1.2 mg/dL (10 to < 13 years of age)
* 1.5 mg/dL (male) or 1.4 mg/dL (female) (13 to < 16 years of age)
* 1.7 mg/dL (male) or 1.4 mg/dL (female) (>= 16 years of age)
* Bilirubin (sum of conjugated + unconjugated) =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age
