Trial summary

Background: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare tumor. ASPS is resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. ASPS is characterized by slow growth.

About this study

Official title: Procurement of Blood and Tissue From Patients With Primary and Metastatic Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma and Blood From Healthy Controls for In Vitro and In Vivo Model Development

Background:

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare tumor.

Read more

ASPS is resistant to chemotherapy and radiation.

ASPS is characterized by slow growth.

Currently no in vitro or in vivo models of ASPS exist for use in experimental therapeutic studies or biological investigations.

Primary Objectives:

Acquisition of blood and tissue from patients with ASPS.

Acquisition of blood from healthy controls for comparison with blood from patients with ASPS. These control samples will be obtained from study NCI at Frederick Protocol OH99-C-N046.

Eligibility:

Subjects of any age with a diagnosis of primary or metastatic alveolar soft part sarcoma who are undergoing medically indicated surgery for their disease.

Design:

Patients with Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS) will be eligible for this study. Biopsy tissue will be obtained as an additional sample at the time of a medically indicated procedure. Blood sample may be collected at initial visit and follow-up visits. Specific risks will be described in a separate consent to be obtained at the time of the biopsy. Tumor samples and blood samples will be processed and/or stored for use in research efforts in the laboratory of Dr. David Vistica, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD. Additionally, blood samples will be obtained from healthy volunteers for comparison to patients with ASPS. These control samples will be obtained from the National Cancer Institute at Frederick Protocol OH99-C-N046.

Background:

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare tumor.

ASPS is resistant to chemotherapy and radiation.

ASPS is characterized by slow growth.

Currently no in vitro or in vivo models of ASPS exist for use in experimental therapeutic studies or biological investigations were generated under this protocol.

Additional models are needed to represent the heterogeneity of this disease.

Primary Objectives:

Acquisition of blood and tissue from patients with ASPS.

Acquisition of blood from healthy controls for comparison with blood from patients with ASPS. These control samples will be obtained from study NCI at Frederick Protocol OH99-C-N046.

Eligibility:

Subjects of any age with a diagnosis of primary or metastatic alveolar soft part sarcoma who are undergoing medically indicated surgery for their disease.

Design:

Patients with Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS) will be eligible for this study. Biopsy tissue will be obtained as an additional sample at the time of a medically indicated procedure. Blood sample may be collected at initial visit and follow-up visits. Specific risks will be described in a separate consent to be obtained at the time of the biopsy. Tumor samples and blood samples will be processed and/or stored for use in research efforts in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Shoemaker, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD. Additionally, blood samples will be obtained from healthy volunteers for comparison to patients with ASPS. These control samples will be obtained from the National Cancer Institute at Frederick Protocol OH99-C-N046.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma and Sarcoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 1 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 2 Jul 2017. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00340353, 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 2 Jul 2017.
