Read the detailed description

The objectives of the study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of autologous natural killer cells in cultures of cancer cells obtained from patient's own tumor.

Study Design:

One hundred mL of blood will be collected in an EDTA container and transported to the laboratory for in vitro isolation and expansion of NK cell cultures.

Two or three weeks later, 25 cu mm of the patient's own tumor will be collected in PBS and transported to the laboratory for co-culture with autologous expanded and enhanced NK cells.

Inclusion Criteria:

Individuals must meet all of the inclusion criteria in order to be eligible to participate in the study, as follows:

  • Male or Female ≥ 18 years of age
  • Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma
  • Patients who are already scheduled for surgery
  • Ability to understand the purposes and risks of the study and has signed and dated a written informed consent form approved by the investigator's IRB/Ethics Committee
  • Willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria: Patients who do not meet the inclusion criteria.

Methodology:

Male and female subjects > 18 years of age, of any ethnicity, with advanced soft tissue sarcoma will be recruited via patient referrals from the medical community, patient request for participation through internet research, patients being treated at the Sarcoma Oncology Research.

Study Duration:

The study is expected to take 24-30 months

Statistical Analysis Plan For the in vitro studies, multiple group comparisons at a single time point will be made via the independent analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, followed by Tukey's HSD test as a post-hoc test where appropriate. Assuming the required statistical power of 0.9 with a significance level of 0.05 and effect size of 0.4, an equal sample size of at least 19 is suggested for each group: 1) Untreated, 2) CH-SCP, 3) Nk cells and 4) CH-SCP-NK-based hydrogel. Differences in mean tumor growth and survival rate between the control and experimental groups at each time point will be tested with independent ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test as a post-hoc analysis where appropriate.

Baseline Descriptive Statistics Demographics, age, ethnicity, subtypes of sarcoma, number of patients, patients with locally advanced or metastatic will be described using descriptive statistics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Antitumor activity

    Inhibition of autologous cancer cell growth in vitro by autologous natural killer cells using an automated cell counter. For the in vitro studies, multiple group comparisons at a single time point will be made via the independent analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, followed by Tukey's HSD test as a post-hoc test where appropriate.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sarcoma, run by Sarcoma Oncology Research Center, LLC 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 6 inclusion and 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2024. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Antitumor activity (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT05869994, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jul 2024.
