Donate tumor samples to build organoid tissue from glioma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study collects tumor tissue during brain surgery to create lab-grown “organoids” (mini models of the tumor). It aims to build a tissue bank that researchers can use to better study gliomas and develop treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an MRI-confirmed diagnosis of low-grade or high-grade glioma
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your doctor says you are able to have surgical removal (resection) of the tumor
- There are no reasons you cannot safely undergo neurosurgery for tumor removal
- You are able to understand the study and give informed consent (or consent is possible through you)

This early-stage study measures electrical brain activity during brain tumor surgery to see if it can predict tumor return or progression. You may be offered the additional measurements while your surgeon removes a suspected or known high-grade glioma.
This study tests a new way to grow miniature versions of your brain tumor in the lab (called organoids) from a small piece of your tumor removed during surgery. The results may help doctors understand which treatments might work best for you in the future.
This study aims to improve understanding of glioblastoma (and gliosarcoma) by preserving live, usable brain-tissue samples during brain surgery. If you’re having repeat tumor surgery or your scans suggest these cancers, the study may ask to collect tissue for research.
This trial uses a sample of your tumor removed during surgery to grow tiny 3D models (organoids) in a lab. These models help doctors test which drugs might work best for your specific glioblastoma.
This trial collects a small piece of tumor tissue during your planned surgery to grow it in the lab. This helps doctors learn more about childhood brain tumors and find better treatments.
This trial uses a lab-grown model of your tumor (called an organoid) to test whether different drugs might work against it. The goal is to find the best treatment for your specific glioblastoma.
