Massive german registry aims to unlock secrets of rare sarcomas
NCT ID NCT04122872
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This registry is collecting information from up to 9,000 people in Germany with sarcoma or carcinosarcoma. Researchers will track how often different subtypes occur, how they progress, and what treatments patients receive. The goal is to better understand these rare cancers and improve future care.
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 registry could provide crucial insights into how common and how serious different sarcoma subtypes are, helping guide future research and treatment strategies.
- What could go wrong
- As an observational registry, this study does not test any new treatment, so it will not directly improve patient outcomes. The data quality depends on consistent reporting from many hospitals.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adults ≥18 years, verified for bone or soft tissue sarcomas including bone and soft tissue tumors with borderline histological results or with unclear histological dignity (like giant cell tumors of the bone \[GCTB\], desmoid tumors, atypical lipomatous tumors) as well as carcinosarcomas - independent of kind of therapy and therapy line. Thus, the registry is open for all subtypes of sarcomas and CS.
