NCT ID NCT02238899
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This registry collected information and biological samples from 354 children and young adults diagnosed with certain brain tumors like medulloblastoma and ependymoma. The goal was to improve diagnostic standards through expert review and to gather data for future research. No new treatment was tested; instead, the focus was on understanding the disease better.
