Scientists create 'Living Lab' from brain tumors to unlock treatment secrets
NCT ID NCT04865315
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects tumor samples from 50 adults with low- or high-grade glioma to grow mini-tumors (organoids) in the lab. Researchers will study these organoids to learn why gliomas are so hard to treat and how they spread. The goal is to create personalized 'avatars' for testing new treatments, but this study does not offer a direct treatment or cure.
