Collecting and Storing Tissue From Young Patients With Cancer

Study Purpose

This laboratory study is collecting and storing tissue, blood, and bone marrow samples from young patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and bone marrow from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Observational
Eligible Ages N/A - 21 Years
Gender All

  • - Participation in this protocol is not permitted until after tissue requirements for any active COG disease-specific therapeutic, biology, or banking protocols have been satisfied.
  • - Material may only be submitted for this protocol if tissue is available in excess of that required for satisfying active disease-specific therapeutic and biological protocols.
- Patients with diagnosis pending are eligible

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT00898755
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Lead Sponsor

The sponsor is the organization or person who oversees the clinical study and is responsible for analyzing the study data.

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  • I. Establish and bank cell lines and/or xenografts from pediatric patients with cancer.
  • II. Establish continuous cell lines, under carefully controlled conditions, from pediatric patients with cancer.
  • III. Establish transplantable xenografts in immunocompromised mice from tumor cells that are difficult to establish as continuous cell lines in vitro.
  • IV. Create a bank of cell lines and generate sufficient vials of cryopreserved cells for distribution to investigators with approved COG biology protocols.
  • V. Characterize cell lines from childhood cancers with respect to DNA short tandem repeat molecular profile as a "fingerprint" of original cell line identity.
  • VI. Characterize cell lines for the ability for sustained growth in tissue culture and/or as mouse xenografts.
  • VII. Characterize cell lines for mycoplasma contamination.
  • VIII. Characterize cell lines for expression of molecular makers that confirm the tumor-type of the cell line and the immortal nature of the cells (telomerase) and the expression of molecular markers that may correlate with drug resistance.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Specimens are stratified according to disease (acute lymphoblastic leukemia vs.#46;acute myeloid leukemia vs.#46;lymphoma vs.#46;osteogenic sarcoma vs.#46;Ewing family of tumors vs.#46;rhabdomyosarcoma vs.#46; primitive neuroectodermal tumor vs.#46;glioma vs.#46;astrocytoma vs.#46;rhabdoid tumors vs.#46;hepatoblastoma vs.#46;retinoblastoma vs.#46;Wilms tumor vs.#46;germ cell tumors vs.#46;other diagnoses). Leftover tissue from diagnostic procedures and/or surgery is cryopreserved and banked. Blood and/or bone marrow are also collected and banked. Cell lines are established and characterized via reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and/or flow cytometry for biomarkers and by DNA fingerprinting. Markers to be identified may include the following: NEUROBLASTOMA: tyrosine hydroxylase, protein gene product (PGP) 9.5, GD2, HLA class I, and HSAN 1.2 antigens. EWING FAMILY OF TUMORS: EWS-FLI1, EWS-ERG, and PGP 9.5. RETINOBLASTOMA: interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein. ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA: immunophenotype. ALVEOLOR RHADOMYOSARCOMA: PAX3-FKHR, PAX7-FKHR, and MyoD1. ALL CELL TYPES: telomerase expression including hTR and hTERTMutations of TP53 gene are detected by flow cytometry and/or immunocytochemistry. No results of these tests are provided to the patient, the patient's physician, or the patient's medical records.
