Summary

This trial will test whether it is safe to place a medical device called an Ommaya reservoir during surgery for brain tumors. The device will be used to study potential biomarkers for brain tumors.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with a suspected or diagnosed brain tumor who are undergoing surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Participants must be willing to sign consent forms and allow their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to be collected for research. Pregnant women, prisoners, minors, those not fit for surgery due to medical history or illness, and individuals with infection risks like diabetes or smoking are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety of placing an Ommaya Reservoir into the brain during tumor removal surgery. This device will provide ongoing access to CSF for biomarker analysis and monitoring throughout the treatment process.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications from surgery such as infection risk around the reservoir site, possible immune system reactions due to repeated CSF sampling through the Ommaya Reservoir.
