Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to learn whether the profile of RNA from circulating exosomes can be used as a biomarker for lung metastases of primary high-grade osteosarcoma. Circulating exosomes plays roles in metastases in many kinds of cancer including osteosarcoma. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Circulating Exosome RNA as Diagnostic and Prognostic Markers in Lung Metastases of Primary High-Grade Osteosarcoma

The purpose of this study is to learn whether the profile of RNA from circulating exosomes can be used as a biomarker for lung metastases of primary high-grade osteosarcoma. Circulating exosomes plays roles in metastases in many kinds of cancer including osteosarcoma. By RNA profiling researchers may find lung metastases earlier than conventional work-up and predict the oncological outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Investigators have performed a 4 patients pilot study under the oversight of hospital's ethics committee, and investigator found that the levels and mutations of circulating exosome RNA from patients with or without lung metastasis have significant differences. Then investigators wish to register this study to do a further research, in order to reveal the roles of circulating exosome RNA in metastases of osteosarcoma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences in the levels and mutations of circulating exosome RNA from patients with or without lung metastasis.

    Next generation sequencing will be performed to the whole RNA sequencing.

    Measured: Before the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, before the definitive surgery procedure, every 6 months after surgery. up to 3 years.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Differences in the classic cell signal pathway mutations of circulating exosome RNA from patients with or without lung metastasis.

    Next generation sequencing will be performed to the whole RNA sequencing.

    Measured: Before the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, before the definitive surgery procedure, every 6 months after surgery. up to 3 years.

  2. Differences in the therapeutic targets mutations of circulating exosome RNA from patients with or without lung metastasis.

    Next generation sequencing will be performed to the whole RNA sequencing.

    Measured: Before the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, before the definitive surgery procedure, every 6 months after surgery. up to 3 years.

  3. The correlation between circulating exosome RNA mutation levels and 3-year disease-free survival (DFS), progression-free survival (PFS), lung metastases.

    Next generation sequencing will be performed to the whole RNA sequencing.

    Measured: Before the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, before the definitive surgery procedure, every 6 months after surgery. up to 3 years.

  4. The correlation between specific circulating exosome RNA mutations and 3-year disease-free survival (DFS), progression-free survival (PFS), lung metastases.

    Next generation sequencing will be performed to the whole RNA sequencing.

    Measured: Before the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, before the definitive surgery procedure, every 6 months after surgery. up to 3 years.

  5. The roles of circulating exosome micro-RNA mutations on regulation of circulating exosome RNA.

    Next generation sequencing will be performed to the whole RNA sequencing.

    Measured: Before the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, before the definitive surgery procedure, every 6 months after surgery. up to 3 years.

  6. The mutations of circulating exosome RNA from patients without metastasis.

    Next generation sequencing will be performed to the whole RNA sequencing.

    Measured: Before the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, before the definitive surgery procedure, every 6 months after surgery. up to 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Metastases and Osteosarcoma, run by Ruijin Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2023. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Differences in the levels and mutations of circulating exosome RNA from patients with or without lung metastasis. (time frame: Before the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, before the definitive surgery procedure, every 6 months after surgery. up to 3 years.). 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 NCT03108677, 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 3 Oct 2023.
