Inclusion Criteria

General inclusion criteria all studies
Submission of high quality biological material incl. fresh frozen tumour samples and blood
CTC grades < 2 for liver, renal, haematological function
Central pathology review, central molecular diagnosis of genetically defined subgroup, and central MRI mandatory
Cytospin of lumbar CSF
Written informed consent
National and local ethical committee approval

Common inclusion criteria LR, SR, WNT-HR
No prior therapy for medulloblastoma (MB) other than surgery
Radiotherapy aiming to start no more than 28 days after surgery. Foreseeable inability to start radiotherapy within 40 days after surgery renders patients ineligible for the study
Inclusion of patients is not possible later than 40 days after first tumour surgery, or after start of radiotherapy
No significant sensineural hearing deficit
No identified germline APC, PTCH, SUFU, TP53, PALB2, or BRCA2 gene alteration. No unrefuted clinical suspect for patient or familial APC-associated polyposis conditions, biallelic mismatch repair syndrome, Li Fraumeni Syndrome, Gorlin Snydrome, Fanconi anaemia, or other hereditary condition that affects tolerance of antitumour treatment, or may prone to secondary tumours
No other medical contraindication to radiotherapy or chemotherapy

Specific inclusion criteria LR
Age at diagnosis >3-5 and <16 years
MB, WNT-activated; histologic subtypes: MB, classic and desmoplastic/nodular
Clinically standard -risk MB, 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 postoperative 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
Low-risk biological profile, defined as presence of ß-catenin mutation resulting in WNT activation

Specific inclusion criteria SR-study
Age at diagnosis >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 standard-risk, 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 postoperative 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
