About this study

Official title: Observational - SNP Array Analysis of Undifferentiated Sarcomas

This clinical trial studies biomarker differences in samples from patients with undifferentiated sarcomas. Studying biomarker in tissue samples from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer

Read the detailed description

Study Subtype: Ancillary/Correlative Observational Study Model: Cohort Time Perspective: Prospective Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA Biospecimen Description: Tissue Study Population Description: Patients from ARST0332 study Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine what proportion of unclassifiable sarcomas are unclassifiable because the initial evaluation was not sufficiently comprehensive versus what proportion can be regarded as "true" undifferentiated sarcoma when a comprehensive assessment has been performed.

II. To develop formal diagnostic criteria for establishing the diagnosis of undifferentiated sarcoma.

III. To determine whether undifferentiated sarcoma can be subdivided into separate and distinct pathologic entities that are distinguishable by light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array profiling, or clinical features.

IV. To determine whether undifferentiated sarcomas with specific "actionable mutations" can be identified based on their histologic appearance, immunohistochemical staining characteristics, or SNP array profiling features.

OUTLINE:

Tissue samples are analyzed for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and SNP array profiling using microarray and immunohistochemistry.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Soft Tissue Sarcoma, 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 1 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 14 Jul 2016. 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?

Proportion of unclassifiable sarcomas that are unclassifiable (time frame: Baseline). 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 14 Jul 2016.
