Trial summary

Rare gynecological cancers including uterine sarcomas, vulvar and non-epithelial ovarian cancers, are under-studied diseases and the absence of standardized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches or tailored clinical guidelines led to low survival rates and/or poor quality of life outcomes.

About this study

Rare gynecological cancers including uterine sarcomas, vulvar and non-epithelial ovarian cancers, are under-studied diseases and the absence of standardized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches or tailored clinical guidelines led to low survival rates and/or poor quality of life outcomes.

The ROAR project aims at increasing the molecular understanding of these diseases in a multidisciplinary, interinstitutional setting including gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, phase I researchers, pathologists, molecular pathologist, research nurses, genetists, bioinformatics, psychologists and patients' advocacy groups.

The project will pursue this aim through the following activities:

  1. Harmonizing procedures and enabling safe and easy data sharing across all involved institutions; this will be achieved by reviewing the available clinical and molecular data (WP1), establishing an interinstitutional second-opinion board (WP2/Task1), developing a dedicated electronic customized research form (WP2/Task2) and deploying a genomics platform (WP2/Task3).
  2. Performing comprehensive somatic and transcriptional profiling as well as immunological landscape assessments on high quality annotated samples stored in a biobank dedicated to rare gynecological cancers; this will require systematic and standardized clinical data and biological samples collection (WP3/WP4), standardization of pre-analytical and sequencing procedures (WP5/6). The board will tailor indications and modalities for genomics and liquid biopsy assessments based on clinical features.
  3. Evaluating the clinical impact of the board on rare gynecological cancers management and, through the evidence gathered, implementing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies; this will include analyzing the activities of the board (WP7/Task 1.1), integrating -omics data in the board report (WP7/Task 1.2), evaluating liquid biopsy role in identifying minimal residual disease post-surgery, disease monitoring over time, capability of capturing tumor heterogeneity at baseline and identifying hot spot actionable molecular alterations. Finally, the evidence gathered from the ROAR project, will allow update of clinical guidelines or provide new recommendations for each rare gynecological cancer included. The results of ROAR will also be disseminated through direct access to the integrated platform developed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DNA, RNA, ctDNA, metabolomicsGenetic

    The use of specific assays or global molecular profiling to identify novel biomarkers based on DNA, RNA, protein, lipids, or metabolites obtained from tumor tissue or body fluids

What is being measured

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

  1. To revise available data on RGCs, implement standards of care procedures for RGCs across all involved centers and establish the infrastructure to run the project.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Integration and implementation of high quality annotated samples storage, clinical data collection and multi-omics molecular data generation in a data-biobank dedicated to RGCs.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Impact of molecular data on clinical management of rare gynecological cancers patients.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Uterine Sarcoma and Vulvar Cancer, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 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 Italy. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Giovanni Scambia (0630151, giovanni.scambia@policlinicogemelli.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To revise available data on RGCs, implement standards of care procedures for RGCs across all involved centers and establish the infrastructure to run the project. (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 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 3 Sep 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
