Scientists probe Osteosarcoma's drug resistance in 763-Patient study
NCT ID NCT00580385
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study analyzes tumor and blood samples from 763 people with bone cancer (osteosarcoma) to understand why some tumors resist chemotherapy. Researchers will test how cancer cells respond to drugs in the lab and look for genetic clues. The goal is to learn more about treatment resistance, not to test a new therapy.
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 research could help doctors understand why some bone cancers resist chemotherapy, potentially leading to better treatment strategies in the future.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using existing tumor samples, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and findings might not apply to all patients.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Inclusion Criteria: * All patients with a presumed or known diagnosis of a primary or secondary bone cancer or other solid tumor who are having or have had a biopsy or surgery to remove tumor for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons. No tumors will be obtained solely for research purposes. * All adult patients (\> or = to 18 yrs.) will have given written informed consent. * All minor patients (\<18 yrs.) will have given assent to the best of their ability to understand, and their parent or guardian will have given written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * N/A
