About this study

Official title: VORTEX-BIOBANK: Prospective Sample Collection for the VORTEX Randomised Radiotherapy Trial in Patients With Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcoma [VORTEX BIOBANK]

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue from patients with soft tissue sarcoma to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.

PURPOSE: This laboratory is collecting tissue samples from patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the arms, hands, legs, or feet treated on clinical trial CRUK-VORTEX.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine early in the course of treatment which patients treated on clinical trial CRUK-VORTEX have an increased likelihood of distant metastases so as to highlight individuals who might benefit from early adjuvant systemic therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Tumour and normal tissue samples will be taken at the time of surgery during treatment on clinical trial CRUK-VORTEXand preserved for future microarray analyses. Tissue microarrays will be produced from both tumor and normal tissues. Blood samples will be collected for future DNA analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sarcoma, run by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust at 12 sites in United Kingdom.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Increased likelihood of distant metastases. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 26 Aug 2013.
