Brain tumor biopsy with Ommaya reservoir for fluid collection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study places a small reservoir under your scalp during a brain tumor biopsy to collect fluid samples over time. It may help doctors learn more about your tumor and how it responds to treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain tumor or signs of one on scans
- You are scheduled for a brain tumor biopsy at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota
- You agree to have the Ommaya reservoir sampled at least 2 times in the future
- You are willing to let a small amount of fluid be stored for research
- You are not pregnant, not in prison, and 18 years or older

This study places a small device in the brain area (called an Ommaya reservoir) so doctors can collect brain fluid to test tumor markers over time. It may help researchers learn more about brain tumors, while also fitting alongside your planned brain surgery at Mayo Clinic.
This study tests a new device that samples brain fluid during surgery for glioma or epilepsy. It may help researchers understand brain conditions better and is done as part of your regular surgery at Mayo Clinic.
This study tests whether a tiny probe can safely measure brain chemistry during and after brain surgery. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain conditions like tumors or epilepsy.
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
This study checks whether advanced brain MRI images can help doctors choose the best spot to biopsy suspected or proven primary brain tumors. It may help make biopsies safer and more accurate before tissue diagnosis.
This trial uses a small piece of your brain tumor after surgery to test which drugs might work best for you. It helps doctors find the most effective treatment for your specific tumor.
