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 is testing whether it's possible to grow a miniature model of your brain tumor (called an organoid) from a small sample taken during surgery. The goal is to better understand your tumor's specific makeup, which might help guide future treatment decisions.
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 study looks at the chemicals and genes in brain tumors called gliomas to find better ways to diagnose and treat them. People with a brain mass that needs surgery may be able to join.
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.
This trial is for people with glioma who have tumor tissue or blood samples stored. It uses artificial intelligence to analyze these samples and find the best treatment. You might be eligible if you are at least 18 years old and have had a glioma diagnosis with tissue available for study.
