Study population

In most cases, patients will be identified by primary care providers in sarcoma medical and surgical oncology clinics.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Clinical diagnosis of desmoid fibromatosis, either new or newly recurrent. Both patients with sporadic and FAP-associated disease will be eligible for inclusion. Patients with clinical diagnosis of desmoid (as assessed by MSK physician) but without pathologic diagnosis may be enrolled on the study to facilitate acquisition of appropriately protocoled baseline scans and allow for biospecimen collection; these patients will be replaced for purposes of analysis if pathology does not confirm clinical diagnosis.
  • At least 18 years of age.
  • Able to undergo cross-sectional imaging by either MRI or CT with intravenous contrast
  • Disease detectable on cross-sectional imaging with target lesion measuring >/= 1 cm
  • Eligible for management by active observation as assessed by primary MSK care provider
  • Willing and able to sign an document

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Symptomatic desmoid fibromatosis requiring narcotic pain control, resulting in intestinal fistulization, or requiring inpatient admission during the 3 months prior to enrollment
  • Patients with intraabdominal desmoids greater than 7cm in diameter or localized within 1cm of the central mesenteric vessels and those with tumors in the head and neck
  • performance status \</= 70 if performance status is limited due to tumor. Patients with low KPS performance status related to co-morbidities but without symptoms related to the tumor will be eligible for enrollment.
  • Age less than 18 years old
  • Strict for both cross-sectional MRI and CT imaging with intravenous contrast (e.g., as per standard institutional protocols regarding renal insufficiency or MRI incompatible implanted devices; patients requiring pre-medication to prevent contrast reactions will be eligible for study)
  • Unable to grant reliable
  • Ongoing systemic treatment for desmoid fibromatosis
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Groups and cohorts

  • Desmoid Fibromatosis

    Participants will have a clinical diagnosis of desmoid fibromatosis, either new or newly recurrent

    Diagnostic Test: Cross-sectional imaging

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testCross-sectional imaging

    MRI with gadolinium contrast will be the imaging modality of choice. In patients with contraindications to MRI who instead undergo baseline evaluation by CT scan, tumor evaluation will be by serial CT scans with IV contrast throughout the study period.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression free survival

    The primary objective of this study is to estimate progression-free survival at 12 months, with the events defined by progression via radiographic criteria (RECIST 1.1).

    Time frame: 12 months
