Study summary

Translational studies in cancer research can be impeded by the lack of high-quality clinical data that can be correlated with research questions. This is particularly true in the case of rare diseases, such as bone and soft tissue tumors. It is therefore the purpose of this study to create a prospective EHR-based clinical registry for individuals with bone and soft-tissue tumors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To create a secure EHR-based registry to allow for the prospective collection of clinical and research data in a collection of rare diseases (bone and soft-tissue tumors).

II. To facilitate the identification and validation of clinical and molecular features that may be associated with prognosis and/or response to therapy in (subtypes) of bone and soft-tissue tumors.

III. To pilot a mechanism that will facilitate future collaboration between institutions for research and analysis of bone and soft-tissue tumors.

IV. To standardize biospecimen collection for correlative biomarker analysis for patients undergoing treatment and surveillance for bone and soft tissue tumors at Ohio State University.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study.

Patients complete quality of life questionnaires and their medical records are reviewed. Patients may also undergo collection of blood samples for up to 2 years, unless otherwise specified in the protocol.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2015 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2027, 149 months after the start.

Of 37 observational studies under Bone Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 192 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 41. This study's planned 149 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 11, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
