Study summary

Hypothesis: Tumor infiltrating neutrophils are present in osteosarcomas and chondrosarcomas and

Experimental design: Exploratory observational research

Population: Adult patients with osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma

Assessment criteria: Determination of the presence of TANs within tumors and their N1 or N2 profile, the presence of other immune cells, and the PDL-1 status of the tumor.

Investigation plan: Proposal to participate at all eligible patient during the preoperative consultation. If the patient agrees to participate in the study he/she will be included. Participation in the study will not affect its coverage. Patient participation will lead to:

  • Taking samples from an operative part,
  • The collection of demographic data (age, sex, height, weight, body mass index), family history of cancer, history of bone trauma, sports practice, clinical and anatomopathology reports and data, medical history (Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, Infectious Diseases, Autoimmune Diseases, Bone Metabolism Disorders, Allergies, Menopause, Drug treatments followed, Psychiatric disorders).

Statistical analysis plan: Description in frequency of the presence of TANs, of N1 and N2 profiles, of the presence of other immune cells both qualitatively and quantitatively. Analysis in subgroups on relevant criteria (age, sex, location, type of tumor).

Study population

Adult patients with osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma consulting the Orthopedic and Traumatological Surgery Department of the Reims University Hospital or the Godinot Institute and undergoing tumor resection surgery

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

  • Patient of 18 years and more
  • Patient of the Orthopedic and Traumatological Surgery Department of the Reims University Hospital or the Godinot Institute
  • Patient with osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma to be operated on regardless of stage.
  • Patient agreeing to participate in the study ( form)
  • Patient fluent in French
  • Patient affiliated with a social security regimen

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient having a medical history that may compromise the protocol (psychiatric, medical or pharmacological disorders such as the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, or any compound that may alter or modify the inflammatory reaction in the week preceding the protocol).
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Patient with eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, overeating)
  • Patient protected by law (guardianship, curatorship, hospitalized without their consent and not protected by law, deprived of liberty)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Assessment of the presence of neutrophils in sarcoma-affected tissues

    Flow cytometry analysis on excised tissues

  2. Identification of neutrophils N1 or N2 profile in sarcoma-affected tissues

    Flow cytometry (CD45 CD66b CD182 CD184 CD195)

    Time frame: Time of surgery

  3. Identification of non-neutrophil leukocytes in sarcoma-affected tissues

    Flow cytometry analysis (CD45 CD3 CD4 CD8 CD19 CD33 CD80 CD163)

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 Sep 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2025, 59 months after the start.

Of 41 observational studies under Osteosarcoma, half reached primary completion within 76 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 40 and three quarters within 228. This study's planned 59 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 May 25, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
