Trial summary

This research study is studying biomarkers in predicting response to chemotherapy in samples from young patients with osteosarcoma. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

About this study

Official title: Observational - Methylation Status as Predictor of Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Osteosarcoma

This research study is studying biomarkers in predicting response to chemotherapy in samples from young patients with osteosarcoma. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

Read the detailed description

Study Subtype: Ancillary/Correlative Observational Study Model: Cohort Time Perspective: Retrospective Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA Biospecimen Description: Tissue Study Population Description: Children's Oncology Group Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether methylation status predicts response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in samples from children and young adults with osteosarcoma.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (good vs poor).

DNA and RNA extracted from biopsy samples are analyzed for methylation changes and transcription changes by ligation-mediated PCR and mass-array genotyping.

Being tested
laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Osteosarcoma, Bone Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Methylated status as predictor of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy

    Performed on a locus-by-locus basis using Poisson regression (for count data) and/or two-group t-tests, with correction (Satterwaithe's) for unequal within-group variances.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Localized Osteosarcoma and Metastatic Osteosarcoma, run by Children's Oncology Group at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 5 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 12 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Methylated status as predictor of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (time frame: Baseline). 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 12 May 2015.
