GLIOMATCH successfully completes Reporting Period 1

GLIOMATCH has successfully completed its first reporting period (RP1), covering activities from January 2024 to June 2025. This milestone was formally reviewed during the RP1 Review Meeting held on 26 September 2025, bringing together the consortium, external reviewers, and the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA).

During the meeting, partners presented progress across all work packages, highlighting achievements in data management and governance, multi-omics integration, clinical data collection, and the development of advanced tools for patient stratification. The review also provided valuable feedback to guide the next phase of the project.

A new Results page is now available, providing access to public deliverables and scientific publications.

RP1 has established strong foundations for the project’s ambition to improve outcomes for glioblastoma and paediatric high-grade glioma patients through personalised, data-driven approaches. This includes the deployment of a robust data infrastructure and progress towards integrating spatial multi-omics and imaging data into clinical decision support tools.

As GLIOMATCH enters its next phase, the consortium will build on these achievements to further advance its immuno-oncology matchmaker platform and contribute to precision medicine in brain tumours.

GLIOMATCH results contribute to new EIC-funded project GLIOBREAK

Results from GLIOMATCH are supporting the newly funded EIC Transition project GLIOBREAK, coordinated by Beactica Therapeutics and with the involvement of KU Leuven. The project will advance BEA-17, a first-in-class LSD1–CoREST degrader, towards clinical readiness, including IND-enabling studies and regulatory submission.

International Childhood Cancer Day 2026

On International Childhood Cancer Day, GLIOMATCH highlights the urgent need for research into paediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs), rare and aggressive brain tumours affecting children. With a median survival of just over one year and no curative treatment available, collaborative research efforts are essential to better understand the disease, develop dedicated models, and tailor therapies that improve outcomes and quality of life for young patients and their families.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026

GLIOMATCH celebrates the women researchers across its consortium whose expertise and commitment drive the development of tailored immunotherapies for malignant brain tumours, marking the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026.
