Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure

Molecular profiling will be completed on participant's tumour tissue samples taken during routine operations. CSF will be taken during the same operations where safe and feasible. Participants may opt-in to an additional consent of lumbar puncture for collection of CSF where deemed appropriate by the treating clinician, however this is not required and is optional. Blood samples will be taken longitudinally at enrolment, throughout treatment and during follow up.

BrainPOP Precision aims to deliver prospective real time molecular characterisation of CNS tumours. Biospecimens including tumour tissue, blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will be collected longitudinally from participants during routine care procedures and/or by accessing stored material. Clinical data will be collected from the ethically-approved registry BRAIN (Brain tumour Registry Australia INnovation and translation registry).

Biospecimens collected will be molecularly profiled. Molecular profiling analysis will include targeted panel sequencing, whole genome transcriptome sequencing and methylation array using tumour tissue samples. Results will be returned to the treating clinicians, accompanied by interpretation and recommendations from the molecular tumour board. Molecular profiling may be repeated if a participant recurs/progresses while on trial and has available associated biospecimens.

Participant involvement that is additional to standard of care for this study includes blood sample collections during routine clinical appointments (anticipated to take less than 10 minutes, but do require participants to be at the site) and potential discussion with the treating clinician to discuss the results of molecular profiling analyses (at clinician discretion). Additionally, if a participant consents to lumbar puncture for CSF collection, this would involve additional involvement determined by the treating clinician.

The observation period for this study spans from the time of enrolment until the participant's death or end of study.
