Medulloblastoma Clinical Trials (April 2026): 27 Recruiting Interventional Studies

Last updated: April 18, 2026

Current Clinical Trial Landscape

About medulloblastoma:

Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. It arises in the cerebellum and can spread through cerebrospinal fluid. Molecular subgroups (WNT, SHH, Group 3, Group 4) guide treatment and prognosis.

Active research areas in 2026:

CAR-T cell therapy (B7-H3, GPC2, GD2 targets)
Oncolytic virus therapy (HSV G207)
PRRT (Lutathera) for somatostatin receptor-positive tumors
Reduced-intensity radiation strategies
Maintenance therapy (DFMO)

Standard of care: Surgery + craniospinal radiation + chemotherapy (cisplatin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide). Reduced radiation for younger children and low-risk groups.
