About this study

Official title: Genomic Study of Metastatic Osteosarcoma Using Next-Generation Sequencing Technology

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at DNA in tumor tissue samples from patients with localized or metastatic osteosarcoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the genomic expression profile in tumor tissue samples from patients with localized or metastatic osteosarcoma using transcriptome sequencing.
  • Identify activating and loss of function mutations and gene rearrangement in these tumor tissue samples using transcriptome sequencing.
  • Identify candidate genes that are important in osteosarcoma and tumorigenesis using genome partition strategies for genomic DNA sequencing.
  • Identify which mutations are associated with outcome.
  • Establish which mutations are also found in germ line DNA that predispose the patient to osteosarcoma.

OUTLINE: DNA and RNA from banked tumor tissue samples and DNA from paired blood samples are analyzed in sequencing studies using next-generation sequencing technology. The sequencing data from these tumor samples are matched to the Human RefSeq (for transcriptome sequencing) and normal human genome in the public databases and to the patient's germ line sequence to identify constitutional and somatic mutations.

Clinical information that is associated with each sample (i.e., age, tumor site, size, primary metastases, response to chemotherapy, surgical remission, follow-up time, and treatment protocol) is also collected, if available.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Genomic expression profile in osteosarcoma tumor samples using transcriptome sequencing

  2. Identification of activating and loss of function mutations and gene rearrangement using transcriptome sequencing

  3. Mutations associated with outcome

  4. Mutations also found in germ line DNA that predispose the patient to osteosarcoma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sarcoma, run by Children's Oncology Group.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Genomic expression profile in osteosarcoma tumor samples using transcriptome sequencing. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 May 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
