Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Entry onto investigational study [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 500
Study Start Date: April 2002
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate patients with central nervous system tumors for eligibility in NCI primary clinical research protocols.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo various diagnostic procedures and clinical testing to determine eligibility for participation in NCI CNS tumor primary clinical research protocols. Patients undergo imaging scans; laboratory testing of blood, cerebrospinal fluid, bone marrow, urine, and other specimens as needed to determine protocol eligibility; and other specific organ function tests.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 500 patients will be accrued for this study within 5 years.
