Clinical Studies

Image-based Mapping Of Brain Tumors Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The purpose of this study is to combine MRI images with histologic and genetic analysis of cancer (from blood and tissue samples) to improve the overall accuracy of diagnosis and effectiveness of cancer treatment.
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center Neuro-Oncology Program Registry And Biobank For The Study Of Nervous System Tumors Rochester, MN
Biospecimen banks are a modern attempt to centralize collections of human blood and tissue samples along with health information and personal history. The Neuro-Oncology Program Registry and Biobank will be used for research purposes to increase our understanding of nervous system tumors.

A Phase 0/Ia Study Of BI 907828 Concentrations In Brain Tissue And A Non-randomized Open-label, Dose- Escalation Study Of BI 907828 In Combination With Radiotherapy In Patients With Newly-diagnosed Glioblastoma Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ Jacksonville, FL Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to examine the pharmacological effects of the compound BI 907828 on patient tumors at an early stage of drug development.
Genomic Analysis of Glioma Tissue Samples Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to use stored glioma specimens stored by the Tissue Registry under the oversight of the Neuro-Oncology program.
Image-based Mapping Of Brain Tumors Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to combine MRI images with histologic and genetic analysis of cancer (from blood and tissue samples) to improve the overall accuracy of diagnosis and effectiveness of cancer treatment.
Pilot Study To Assess Heterogeneity Of The Blood Brain Barrier In Patients With CNS Malignancy Rochester, MN
This pilot research trial studies blood brain barrier differences in patients with brain tumors undergoing surgery. Studying samples of tissue and blood from patients with brain tumors in the laboratory may help doctors to understand how well drugs get into different parts of a brain tumor. This may help them to determine which types of drugs may be best for treating brain tumors.
