Studying where medulloblastoma starts in the brain
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial observes where medulloblastoma tumors first appear and how they grow during surgery. It helps doctors better understand these rare childhood and adult brain tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be scheduled for surgery to remove a medulloblastoma brain tumor
- Patients of any age are welcome, including children under 18 and adults over 18
- You must be treated at a hospital that has a team of pediatric brain tumor experts
- You should not have severe bleeding from the tumor before surgery that would affect MRI scans
- During surgery, there must be no heavy bleeding that blocks the view of brain structures
- After surgery, lab tests must confirm the diagnosis of medulloblastoma

This study looks at genetic (DNA/molecular) features of malignant brain tumors in children. It may help doctors better understand tumor risk patterns and guide future treatment planning.
This Phase 2 trial tests how doctors choose treatment for infants and young children with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma, based on MRI/CSF staging and lab testing of the tumor. It may help by matching therapy intensity to the child’s specific risk level and tumor type.
This study tests a personalized treatment plan for children and young adults whose medulloblastoma or ependymoma has come back. It aims to guide doctors using new tissue from surgery or biopsy after earlier treatments are fully finished.
This trial looks at a new way to treat a type of brain tumor called Group 3 medulloblastoma. Researchers want to understand how targeting a protein called MYC might help, and they will study tumor tissue from surgery.
This trial compares two standard treatments for a type of brain tumor called SHH-activated medulloblastoma in children under 5. The goal is to see which treatment better protects thinking and learning skills over time.
This trial collects a small piece of tumor tissue during your planned surgery to grow it in the lab. This helps doctors learn more about childhood brain tumors and find better treatments.
