NCT ID NCT01878617

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study is testing a new, personalized approach to treating medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer in children. Doctors will analyze each child's tumor to determine its genetic type and risk level, then assign a specific combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if matching the treatment to the tumor's biology can improve survival rates while reducing long-term side effects from therapy.
