VA Genetic Tissue Banking
An observational study of Tissue Banking, run by US Department of Veterans Affairs at 8 sites in United States.
Trial summary
This project is a program-wide genetic tissue databank for the Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies Program (CSP). The genetic tissue bank has four components: a central repository for DNA and other genetic tissue specimens; a Scientific Advisory Committee of individuals with expertise in the genetics… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: CSP #478 (FeAST-DNA), Genetic Tissue Banking in VA Clinical Research: A Cooperative Studies Program Demonstration Project
This project is a program-wide genetic tissue databank for the Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies Program (CSP). The genetic tissue bank has four components: a central repository for DNA and other genetic tissue specimens; a Scientific Advisory Committee of individuals with expertise in the genetics and epidemiology of diseases with special importance to the VA (including cardiovascular, neurologic, respiratory, psychological and other disorders); an Ethics Oversight Committee of individuals with expertise in bioethics and the law, as they apply to the collection and use of genetic tissue, and a Coordinating Center that administers the tissue bank, coordinates the scientific and ethics oversight committees, maintains central access to clinical study data linked to the tissue bank, and provides statistical analysis.

Intervention: No intervention.
Primary Hypothesis: It is feasible and cost-effective to create a CSP-wide facility for banking genetic tissue in CSP studies.
Study Abstract: This is a program-wide genetic tissue databank for the Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies Program (CSP). The study has five components: a central repository for DNA and other genetic tissue specimens; a Scientific Advisory Committee of individuals with expertise in the genetics and epidemiology of diseases with special importance to the VA (including cardiovascular, neurologic, respiratory, psychological and other disorders); an Ethical Oversight Committee of individuals with expertise in bioethics and the law, as they apply to the collection and use of genetic tissue, A Veteran's Advisory Group, and a Coordinating Center administers the tissue bank, coordinates the three oversight committees, maintains central access to clinical study data linked to the tissue bank, and provides statistical analysis.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Tissue Banking, run by US Department of Veterans Affairs at 8 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jan 2009.
