NCT ID NCT01109394
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects extra blood, urine, and tumor samples from children and adults with certain cancers to build a large tissue repository. Researchers will analyze these samples to learn more about the genetic and molecular makeup of these tumors. The goal is to support future studies that could lead to better treatments or diagnostic tools. No new treatments are being tested in this study.
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 repository could help researchers better understand childhood cancers and find new ways to diagnose or treat them in the future.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that does not test any treatment. It only collects samples for future research, so there is no direct benefit to participants.
