Liquid Biopsy in Ewing Sarcoma and Osteosarcoma as a Prognostic And Response Diagnostic: LEOPARD

Study Purpose

This is a prospective multicenter biomarker study evaluating the prognostic impact of ctDNA detection at diagnosis in patients with Ewing sarcoma or osteosarcoma.

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.

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.

NCT06068075
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.

Additional Details

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether ctDNA in the blood can provide information about the chances of Ewing sarcoma or osteosarcoma coming back after treatment. This research study is evaluating a new advanced laboratory test to detect small pieces of tumor genes in the peripheral blood known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Part A : During this part of the research study (Part A) participants will be asked to provide blood samples at pre-defined times. These blood samples may help find specific genetic alterations commonly seen in Ewing sarcoma or osteosarcoma that may allow investigators to learn more about the uses of ctDNA. The results of the ctDNA analysis will not be returned to participants. Approximately 90 patients will take part in this study across multiple centers. Part B: This research study is evaluating new advanced laboratory tests to detect small pieces of tumor genes in the peripheral blood known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Part B of the research study, which focuses on ctDNA tests that can be returned to providers and patients with Ewing sarcoma. This part of the study will allow comparison of commercial ctDNA testing from Foundation Medicine to our research testing. It is expected that about 60 people with Ewing sarcoma will take part in Part B of this research study. The sponsor of this protocol is Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and is providing funding for the study. Additional funding for this study is provided by the Conquer Cancer Foundation of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, Boston Children's Hospital Office of Faculty Development, the Friends of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, The Harvard Catalyst Program, and the Spada Pediatric Sarcoma Foundation

Arms & Interventions

Arms

No Intervention: REG EWING or OSTEO: ctDNA EVALUATION

This study involves collection of blood samples at pre-specified time points as well as collection of information about this disease. For each timepoint, submit two tubes of blood (17 mL total or a little more than 3 teaspoons) per standard ctDNA workflow

Experimental: EWING ctDNA RETURN OF RESULTS

This study involves collection of blood samples at pre-specified time points as well as collection of information about this disease. For each timepoint, submit two tubes of blood (17 mL total or a little more than 3 teaspoons) to a commercial testing laboratory called Foundation Medicine and one tube of blood (10 mL or 2 teaspoons) to standard ctDNA workflow

Interventions

Other: - FoundationOne Liquid CDx

a FoundationOne liquid biopsy test kit will be sent to the laboratory of the subject's treating center, in addition to the paired cell stabilizing tube from the primary center
