Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intra-operative Ommaya Reservoir placement during a clinically indicated tumor surgery in order to facilitate a longitudinal access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis of exploratory and future tumor biomarkers for individualized monitoring.
Study statuses change often. Please contact us for help.
Open for enrollment
The purpose of this study is to help generate a repository of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) samples relevant to neuro-oncology research that may facilitate the identification of biomarkers that are predictive of disease burden, therapeutic susceptibility or response to therapy. This protocol will also provide a vehicle for CSF access for patients or providers wishing to generate or evaluate individualized biomarkers as part of other research or individualized therapy protocols.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether transverse/sigmoid sinus junction stenting reduces the risk of recurrent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension presenting with CSF leak.

To further investigate biomarkers in CSF as possible predictors for mild cognitive impairment and dementia
Closed for enrollment
The purpose of this study is to collect and store cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)from patients with normal CSF. This stored CSF will be used in the future as a culture media to better understand how therapeutic cells delivered into the CSF will behave.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in CSF dynamics (e.g., velocity, flow rate) between patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus and healthy controls, as well as patients with other dementia disorders.
The purpose of this study is to further characterize the serum and Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) biomarker profile of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, both before and after VP shunt placement, and help differentiate this profile from Alzheimer’s disease.
