The DaMaGe Project — defeating DMG

A family-driven, science-first beacon to turn Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) from fatal to controllable.

We combine clinical realism with fearless innovation. Mission: accelerate practical options for children with H3 K27-altered DMG through clear updates, targeted funding, and open collaboration—without deviating from clinical protocols.

We post only qualified, canonical signals with one clear citation.

What makes the case unique
  • H3 K27‑altered profile (e.g., H3F3A K27M/K28M)
  • PTEN/PIK3R1 axis involvement
  • TP53 loss‑of‑function
  • Posterior fossa focus + small pontine micro‑focus

Goal: long‑term control with gentle, precise add‑ons when allowed—never off‑protocol.

Love 4 Lukas — fuel the science

Every donation helps unlock tangible options for children facing DMG: platform access (ICV, CED, FUS‑BBB), advanced imaging (FET/FDOPA‑PET), and secure data sharing. Quarterly transparency reports show raised → deployed → results.

brAInstorm — boosting innovation with AI

Audacious yet plausible concepts rooted in real technologies—ICV access, CED, focused‑ultrasound BBB windows, CAR‑T, RNA delivery—so clinicians and researchers can spot collaboration opportunities early.

ICV/Ommaya platform
  • Bypasses BBB; enables maintenance‑style dosing
  • Pairs with CSF liquid biopsy
  • Established pediatric know‑how
FUS‑BBB delivery windows
  • Programmable, regional exposure
  • Interfaces with chemo, ADCs, diagnostics
  • MRI‑guided safety
In‑situ CAR‑T (mRNA‑LNP + FUS)
  • No ex vivo manufacturing
  • Targets like B7‑H3 or GD2
  • Future‑facing yet grounded
DMG Updates

We publish when our AI master‑agent flags qualified, canonical signals (new data, trial status changes, protocol amendments, regulatory updates). Each item cites one canonical source and marks EU/Nordic recruiting where relevant.

No qualified updates yet. When there are, they will appear here with clear tags and a single citation.
DMG FAQ
What is Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG)?

A rare, aggressive brain tumor arising in midline structures. Many DMGs carry H3 K27‑altered histone variants that reprogram gene regulation.

Why is DMG hard to treat?

Infiltration of vital structures, protection by the BBB, and resistance to standard therapies.

Current care backbones?

Radiotherapy and protocol‑guided systemic options; trials are essential. Platform approaches (ICV, CED, FUS‑BBB) are explored within studies.

Promising strategies?

Targeted epigenetic therapies, PI3K/mTOR modulation in selected profiles, intraventricular CAR‑T, radiotheranostics, RNA delivery—mostly in trials.

Do you give medical advice?

No. We share clear information and fund enabling platforms. Treatment choices rest with the clinical team.

How do donations help?

We fund practical enablers: access devices (ICV), delivery planning (CED/FUS), imaging, and data infrastructure.

Why we built The DaMaGe Project

We didn’t choose DMG—DMG chose us. Building this project is how we stay constructive: sharing what we learn, funding what moves the needle, and inviting collaborators to turn bold ideas into careful action. This is not medical advice; it’s a commitment to clarity and momentum for every child like our son.

What “bold but careful” means to us

Pairing protocol‑aligned care with platform readiness: if a pivot is needed later, there is no wasted time—only prepared options.

About The DaMaGe Project

We accelerate practical options for children with DMG by pairing a realistic clinical backbone with future‑ready delivery platforms—ICV, CED, FUS‑BBB—and by boosting innovation with AI. We respect clinical protocols; we prepare so that, if a pivot is needed, no time is lost.
