This trial is for children under three with specified medulloblastoma molecular types, or ages three to four with nonmetastatic SHH-2 medulloblastoma, after surgery. Central tumor testing determines eligibility.

The idea: tailor methotrexate-based chemotherapy to tumor biology. Methotrexate blocks DNA production. SHH-2 groups use chemotherapy alone; other eligible SHH groups also receive it into brain ventricles. Eligible non-SHH groups delay brain-and-spine radiation until age three. Researchers assess progression and development.

This phase 2 study plans 130 patients. St. Jude’s Giles Robinson and Aditi Bagchi lead it; ten US sites are recruiting, including Memphis.
