View original scientific description
This research is being done to find out more information about a brain tumor called Embryonal Tumor with Multilayer Rosettes (ETMR) by collecting medical information from children who have this disease. The purpose of this research study is to create and maintain a research database for patients with ETMR. The database will include information about occurrence rates, patient information, tumor tissue information, and response to treatment. This will help advance our understanding of this rare disease. In addition, this study will include obtaining survival data and evaluating therapeutic response to expert consensus therapy, and procuring patient tumor tissue.
Primary outcome measures
ETMR One Registry
Time frame: 10 years
To create and maintain a comprehensive registry containing the epidemiologic, clinical, and molecular data of patients with embryonal tumor with multilayer rosettes.
Efficacy of consensus therapy on median event-free survival
Time frame: 10 years
To investigate the efficacy of the consensus regimen of chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue, and radiotherapy (as indicated) following maximal feasible surgical resection for patients with newly-diagnosed ETMR as measured by median event-free and overall survival in comparison to historical controls.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patients of any age
- Patients must have either a histologically confirmed primary intracranial CNS Embryonal Tumor with Multilayer Rosettes (as agreed upon by central review or local pathologist OR
- Patients must have tumor tissue that possesses C19MC amplification . Central Review is not required (but is strongly recommended) if the patient's tumor does not demonstrate C19MC amplification.
- Patients may be enrolled at point following diagnosis

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
