Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The SPECTAbrain protocol describes a structure for screening patients with brain tumors to efficiently allocate eligible patients in relevant therapeutic biomarker-driven clinical trials. Efficiency is promoted through the creation of a clinical database of brain tumor patients and the respective human biological material biobank for molecular characterization. The main objectives are to:

* Allocate patients to clinical trials according to the clinical characteristics and molecular profile of their tumor;
* Identify or validate new molecularly defined subgroups of tumors;
* Investigate the prevalence of novel biomarkers to plan future clinical trials;
* Enable exploratory/future research;
* Facilitate establishment of quality-assured and validated tests for Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor biomarkers;

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Pathologically confirmed newly diagnosed primary CNS tumors, with a focus on diffuse gliomas of grades II, III and IV, meningiomas from patients who are candidates for pharmacotherapy, and rare CNS tumors;
* Availability of adequate Human Biological Material (HBM): FFPE tissue sample from the primary and/or recurrent tumor and/or metastasis, obtained at the time of surgery or biopsy; minimal amount requested is detailed in the HBM guidelines. Inclusion of samples taken at any recurrence diagnosed during follow-up is strongly encouraged but optional;
* At least three months life expectancy;
* Written informed consent according to ICH/GCP and national/local regulations;
