About this study

Official title: A Children's Oncology Group Protocol for Collecting and Banking Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Specimens

The purpose of this study is to collect and store brain tissue samples and blood from children with brain cancer that will be tested in the laboratory. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Collect brain tumor tissue and an accompanying blood sample from pediatric patients with brain tumors treated at Children?s Oncology Group institutions.

II. Provide a repository for long-term storage of specimens from these patients.

III. Make these specimens available to qualified researchers to understand the biology of pediatric brain tumors.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Brain tumor tissue and blood specimens are collected from patients and banked for future study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Childhood Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor and Childhood Central Nervous System Germ Cell Tumor, run by Children's Oncology Group at 187 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 16 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 187 sites in United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and 1 more country. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Collection of brain tumor tissue and an accompanying blood sample from pediatric patients with brain tumors treated at Children?s Oncology Group institutions (time frame: Up to 16 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00919750.

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 16 Jul 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
