Ommaya Reservoir Placement at the Time of Biopsy for Longitudinal Biomarker Collection in Patients With Brain Tumors

Study Purpose

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 doing a spinal tap. The identification of biomarkers in CSF is rapidly emerging as a promising minimally invasive approach for monitoring tumor growth and response to therapy. In the future, these biomarkers may be used to help determine what treatments could be most effective and how well a tumor has responded to prior therapy. Currently, limited long-term access to CSF has made it difficult for studies to learn if collecting CSF at different points in the treatment process is useful. Having an Ommaya reservoir placed during a biopsy may allow for longitudinal biomarker collection in patients with brain tumor.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Clinical and radiographic evidence suggesting a diagnosis of a brain tumor.

- Planned biopsy for suspected or previously diagnosed brain tumor as part of routine clinical care at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota [MN]) - Willingness of the patient to provide informed consent.

- Patient is willing to have their Ommaya sampled on at least 2 future occasions.

- Patients is willing to have CSF banked through the neuro-oncology biorepository (requires a separate signature) - Adults lacking capacity to consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Vulnerable populations including pregnant women, prisoners, and individuals < 18 years old.

- Patients who are not appropriate candidates for biopsy due to current or past medical history or uncontrolled current illness.

- Prior history of any wound infection.

- Any patient who the surgeon feels is not an optimal candidate for Ommaya reservoir placement.

Such reasons may include, but will not be limited to, surgical anatomy, clinical evidence of immunosuppression, and/or elevated risk of wound infection due to diabetes, smoking history, morbid obesity, or any other concerns

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT06322602
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	N/A
