Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for patients with brain tumors who are having a biopsy. Participants will have a small device placed during the biopsy to help collect fluid samples in the future.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I have been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
- I am scheduled for a biopsy at Mayo Clinic.
- I am willing to give my consent for the trial.
- I agree to have my fluid samples taken at least two times.
- I will allow my fluid samples to be stored for research.
You may not be able to join if
- I am pregnant or under 18 years old.
- I am currently too sick to have a biopsy.
- I have had a wound infection in the past.
- My doctor thinks I am not a good candidate for this procedure.

About This Trial
This observational trial evaluates the use of Ommaya reservoir placed during a biopsy to collect biomarkers longitudinally in patients with brain tumor. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of the disease state. An Ommaya reservoir is a small device that's implanted under the scalp. It allows the doctor to take samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the future without…
