Gene signature may forecast chemo response in sarcoma patients

NCT ID NCT02789384

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a genetic test called CINSARC can predict how well chemotherapy works in people with soft-tissue sarcoma. Researchers will collect tumor and blood samples from 205 participants before they receive standard chemotherapy and surgery. The goal is to see if the CINSARC signature matches how the tumor responds, which could help personalize treatment in the future.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors better predict which sarcoma patients will benefit from chemotherapy before surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate changes in care, and the genetic signature may not prove reliable enough for routine use.
