Pineoblastoma is a rare, malignant type of supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (sPNET), found mainly in children (less than 10% of cases are reported in adults), and located in the pineal region of the brain but that can metastasize along the neuroaxis. As it is the most aggressive of the pineal parenchymal tumors, it is usually associated with a poor prognosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for pineoblastoma has been reported in the published literature.
8 clinical trials registered, 6 recruiting. Interventions under study include drug therapy, biologic therapy, procedural interventions, and other interventions. Pipeline includes 5 PHASE1, 2 EARLY_PHASE1. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
