Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this research is to determine whether circulating tumor DNA, RNA or proteins can be detected in the blood of patients with sarcoma. We are also interested in learning if these levels change over time while receiving chemotherapy. Patients with advanced sarcoma who will receive chemotherapy will be asked to participate. Study participation involves blood-draws of approximately 4 tablespoons of blood at each of 4 separate time-points as well as access to archived tumor tissue, or fresh tumor tissue at the time of clinically indicated biopsy or surgery.  We hypothesize that circulating tumor DNA, RNA and/or proteins will be detectable in blood of sarcoma patients, and change in measured values over time will correlate with disease response or progression on therapy.

Pediatric patients weighing at least 10 kg will be considered for enrollment. For pediatric participants, 1.5 tablespoons of blood at each of 4 separate time-points will be collected. All blood collection will coincide with clinical lab draws.
