1. A Study to Evaluate Awake vs. Asleep Spine Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   Patients undergoing spine lumbar surgery will be asked to perform short exams/questionnaires aimed at determining cognitive function, quality of life, health outcomes twice post surgery with a baseline performance prior to surgery.

2. Cognitive Advancement and Recovery in VNS-Rehabilitation (CARE)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate whether VNS therapy leads to any changes in the cognitive functions of individuals who have survived a stroke.

3. A Study Of Sonodynamic Therapy With SONALA-001 And Exablate 4000 Type 2.0 In Subjects With Progressive Or Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (RGBM)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), maximum administered dose (MAD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for future study after treatment with SONALA-001 in combination with MRgFUS in subjects with progressive or rGBM.

4. Primary Tumor Research And Outcome Network (PTRON) Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this registry is to collect clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic data specific for primary spinal column tumor patients, and evaluate it to understand the predictive factors which influence survival, local recurrence, adverse events, perioperative morbidity, and health related quality of life.

5. Extracellular Impact Of Ultrasound-induced Blood-brain Barrier Disruption

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of focused ultrasound (FUS) on the composition of the tumor extracellular microenvironment.

6. Human Blood and Tissues Repository for Neuroscience Research

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to collect adult human blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, and spine tissues/fluids at time of surgery in order to conduct future studies of the cellular mechanisms of tissue invasion utilized by brain and spine tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).

7. A Study To Evaluate Advanced Development Of Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry For Intraoperative Molecular Diagnosis Of Brain Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to explore the translational abilities of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) as intraoperative diagnostic tool to identify cancerous versus noncancerous tissue and estimate the percentage of tumor infiltration in tissue biopsies, by monitoring depletion of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and aberrations of the phospholipid signature of neurological tissue; and to identify the presence of IDH mutations by monitoring the 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) and, therefore, differentiate between IDH-mutant and wild-type gliomas.

8. EMU

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate haemorrhage detection sensitivity >80% and specificity >80%.

9. Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers For Brain Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to help generate a repository of Cerebrospinal  Fluid (CSF) samples relevant to neuro-oncology research that may facilitate the identification of biomarkers that are predictive of disease burden, therapeutic susceptibility or response to therapy. This protocol will also provide a vehicle for CSF access for patients or providers wishing to generate or evaluate individualized biomarkers as part of other research or individualized therapy protocols.

10. A Study To Explore If It Is Possible To Successfully Obtain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Imaging And Data While Patients Undergo Brain Surgery

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of successfully obtaining intra-operative OCT imaging and data during standard brain surgery.
