Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumour of childhood but can also occur in older adolescents and young adults. The optimal management of these older patients is unknown, and till now their treatment has been suboptimal. PersoMed-I will give these patients access to state of the art tumour profiling and targeted therapies in order to ensure optimal treatments, reduce toxicities and improve cure rates.

 

Trial Summary

PersoMed-I is a phase II, randomised international trial that represents a collaboration between the EORTC and COGNO. The study is investigating if personalized risk-adapted therapy improves outcomes and reduces toxicity in post-pubertal patients with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma. The PersoMed-I study aims to recruit 205 patients across Europe and Australia, which includes 33 participants Australia-wide.
