Study 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.Check my eligibility
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.See study design
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.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To test tumor samples obtained from patients with primary or secondary bone cancer for mechanisms of acquired and intrinsic resistance to methotrexate and to relate these findings to histologic response to preoperative chemotherapy and outcome.
Secondary outcome measures
To attempt to grow these tumor cells in short term culture to test the sensitivity of these cells to chemotherapeutic agents and to correlate cytotoxicity with biochemical and molecular studies.

Is there capacity to enroll additional participants in this experiment?

"Contrary to the data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov, it appears that this particular trial is currently not enrolling patients at this time. First posted in August 1997 and last updated in September 2022, though this investigation has stopped seeking participants, there are still 500 other trials actively recruiting now."
