Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Patients with a presumed or known diagnosis of a primary or secondary bone cancer or other solid tumor who are having or have had a biopsy or surgery to remove tumor for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons. No tumors will be obtained solely for research purposes
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up up to 5 years
Awards & highlights
No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial will study how different drugs affect tumors and why some tumors develop high pressure, which can affect how well drugs work. Blood samples will be taken to help predict the behavior of different types of tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with a presumed or confirmed diagnosis of bone cancer (osteosarcoma) or other solid tumors who are undergoing biopsy or surgery. It's open to adults and minors; adults must consent, while minors give assent and have parental consent.
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand how osteogenic sarcoma and other solid tumors react to drug therapies by examining tumor tissue and blood samples. Researchers will look into why some tumors resist treatment and the impact of internal tumor pressure on drug effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves tissue procurement rather than testing a new medication, there aren't direct side effects from drugs being studied. However, typical risks associated with biopsies or surgeries may apply.
