International Precision Medicine Consortium for Neurooncology Research

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect minimal risk normal samples, both prospectively collected and those stored at the patient's home institution and any outside institutions, along with clinical data. For this same end, the study provides for a wide scope of research, including detailed genetic analysis, and provides mechanisms for reporting of results back to participants and/or their treating physicians.

    4. Linkage of clinical information to collected tissues
    5. Providing samples and records from other institutions
    6. Use of samples for the creation of cell lines, genetic testing including whole genome sequencing as well as other available sequencing techniques, research testing (techniques under development), and that samples may be stored indefinitely until used
    7. Use of data and samples to study neurologic diseases and their treatment
    8. Notification of results that may be clinically relevant via their clinician
    9. Derivative products of value may arise for which participants will not have any financial benefit
