Medulloblastoma: Understanding

Medulloblastoma: Overview

Medulloblastoma is a type of malignant brain tumor that primarily affects children. It arises in the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance. This tumor is relatively rare, accounting for around 20% of all childhood brain tumors. Despite its rarity, it is the most common malignant brain tumor in children.

Signs and symptoms of medulloblastoma often include headaches, nausea, vomiting, and problems with balance and coordination. Children may also experience changes in their vision or have difficulty walking. As the tumor grows, it can compress the surrounding brain tissue, leading to increased pressure within the skull and potentially causing symptoms such as irritability, lethargy, and seizures.

The exact cause of medulloblastoma is unknown, but researchers believe that it may result from genetic mutations that occur during fetal development. Certain genetic syndromes, such as Gorlin syndrome and Turcot syndrome, are associated with an increased risk of developing medulloblastoma. Exposure to radiation, particularly at a young age, is also considered a risk factor for this type of brain tumor.

In terms of pathophysiology, medulloblastoma arises from primitive neuroectodermal cells, which are precursor cells that give rise to various types of nervous tissue. These cells proliferate uncontrollably, forming a mass within the cerebellum. The tumor may spread to other parts of the brain and spinal cord via cerebrospinal fluid, leading to metastasis.

Diagnosis of medulloblastoma typically involves imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans to visualize the tumor and assess its size and location. A biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis by examining the tumor tissue under a microscope.

Treatment for medulloblastoma usually involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The primary goal of surgery is to remove as much of the tumor as possible without causing damage to surrounding brain tissue. Radiation therapy is used to kill any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence, while chemotherapy may be administered to further destroy cancer cells and prevent metastasis. The specific treatment approach may vary depending on factors such as the patient's age, the size and location of the tumor, and whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. With advances in treatment, the prognosis for children with medulloblastoma has improved significantly in recent years, with many patients achieving long-term remission.

Medulloblastoma Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Medulloblastoma report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Medulloblastoma Emerging Drugs

• Pomalidomide: Bristol-Myers Squibb

Pomalidomide is a novel investigative drug candidate being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb. The drug candidate was also under development for the treatment of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, soft tissue sarcoma, metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), chronic cough and small-cell lung cancer. It was under development for acute myelocytic leukemia, primary myelofibrosis (chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis) and post-essential thrombocythaemia myelofibrosis. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of medulloblastoma.

• MTX110: Biodexa Pharmaceuticals

MTX110 is a water-soluble form of panobinostat free base, achieved through complexation with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) that enables convection-enhanced delivery (CED) at potentially chemotherapeutic doses directly to the site of the tumour. Panobinostat is a hydroxamic acid and acts as a non-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor (pan-HDAC inhibitor). The currently available oral formulation of panobinostat lactate (Farydak®) is not suitable for treatment of brain cancers owing to poor blood-brain barrier penetration and inadequate brain drug concentrations. Based on favourable translational science data, MTX110 is being evaluated clinically as a treatment for DIPG and recurrent medulloblastoma and preclinically for treatment of glioblastoma. MTX110 is delivered directly into and around the patient’s tumour via a catheter system (e.g. CED or fourth ventricle infusions) to bypass the blood-brain barrier. This technique exposes the tumour to very high drug concentrations while simultaneously minimising systemic drug levels and the potential for toxicity and other side effects. Panobinostat has demonstrated high potency against DIPG tumour cells in in vitro and in vivo models, and in a key study it was the most promising of 83 anticancer agents tested in 14 patient-derived DIPG cell lines. Currently the drug is in Phase I stage of development for the treatment of medulloblstoma.
