Paediatric Neuro-Oncology
Clinical research at Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Meyer IRCCS includes treatment-focused studies in glioblastoma among children and young adults, with attention to chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy and temozolomide.
- Glioblastoma
- Anthracycline-based chemotherapy
- Radiotherapy
These activities reflect a strong interest in paediatric brain tumours and their multimodal treatment pathways.
Embryonal Brain Tumours
The sponsor also supports studies in metastatic medulloblastoma and other embryonal tumours, with clinical focus on craniospinal irradiation and standard or high-dose chemotherapy in younger patients.
- Medulloblastoma
- Craniospinal irradiation
- High-risk embryonal tumours
This area highlights involvement in complex paediatric oncology care for aggressive central nervous system malignancies.
Severe Epilepsy
Another key field is rare disease-associated severe epilepsy in children and young adults, including motor seizures with generalized and focal features.
- Cannabidiol
- Anti-seizure medications
- Seizure burden
The research profile includes interest in adjunctive approaches for difficult-to-control epileptic disorders.
