Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: General inclusion criteria all studies Submission of high quality biological material incl. fresh frozen tumour samples and blood CTC grades3-5 and 3-5 and <22 years MB, SHH-activated and TP53-wildtype; MB, non-WNT/non-SHH; MB, group 3; MB, group 4; Histologic subtype: MB, classic and desmoplastic/nodular Clinically SR, defined as total or near total surgical resection with less than or equal to 1.5 cm2 of residual tumour on early post-operative MRI, without and with contrast, on central review; no CNS metastasis on MRI on central review; no tumour cells on the cytospin of lumbar CSF; no clinical evidence of extra-CNS metastasis; Patients with a reduction of postop residual tumour through second surgery to less than or equal to 1.5 cm2 are eligible, if timeline for start of radiotherapy can be kept No amplification of MYC or MYCN; MYCN amplification allowed for patients with group 4 MB WNT-subgroup negativity is prerequisite: WNT-negative tumours are defined by ß-catenin nuclear immuno-negativity by IHC, and the absence of ß-catenin mutation For patients with SHH activated tumours: exclusion of germline alteration of TP53, PTCH and SUFU is required. Exclusion of somatic mutation is sufficient for enrolment of the patient. In case of somatic alteration, urgent diagnostic evaluation for germline alteration after appropriate consent is necessary. Patients with germline TP53, PTCH, SUFU, BRCA2, or PALB2 alteration are not eligible for the study Specific inclusion criteria WNT-HR

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Treatment Study-LR -to confirm that the 3-year Event-Free Survival (EFS) rate in children and adolescents with standard-risk medulloblastoma having a low-risk biological profile remains in excess of 80%. Treatment Study-SR -to test whether the Event-Free Survival (EFS) in children and adolescents with standard-risk medulloblastoma having an average-risk biological profile is different for patients treated with or without carboplatin concomitantly with radiotherapy. Treatment Study-WNT-HR -to confirm the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) of rate of 80 % in children and adolescents with high-risk medulloblastoma having a low-risk biological profile . Treatment Study SHH-TP53 -to determine the superiority of EFS in MB SHH-TP53-mutant patients receiving treatment adapted to presence of somatic or germline TP53 mutation in comparison to historic MB SHH TP53mut cohort.;Secondary Objective: Treatment Studies LR, SR, WNT-HR, and SHH-TP53 -Overall Survival rate, and pattern of relapse -Late effects focusing on Hearing, endocrine/neurologic function, health Status, executive function, behavioural outcome, situation,QoL -to conduct comprehensive studies in a prospective fashion on the biological basis of these subgroup medulloblastoma, with the aim of identification, investigation and validation of biomarkers and drug targets with therapeutic potential in these disease subgroups. Treatment Study-SR -Progession-free survival rates (PFS) - to test the feasibility of carboplatin treatment concomitantly with radiotherapy Treatment Study SHH-TP53 -response after 1 and 2 cycles chemotherapy -response after RT -frequency of second malignancies after treatment -detection of increased treatment toxicity -to study late effects focusing on second malignancy -prospective studies with the aim to evaluate germline-somatic correlations, correlations of genotype and phenotype;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is event-free survival (EFSOP) for the treatment study SR
