Liquid Biopsy in Ewing Sarcoma and Osteosarcoma As a Prognostic and Response Diagnostic: the LEOPARD Study
This is a prospective multicenter biomarker study evaluating the prognostic impact of ctDNA detection at diagnosis in patients with Ewing sarcoma or osteosarcoma.
• For Part A, subjects must meet all of the following eligibility criteria.
• Age: ≥ 12 months of age at time of study enrollment to 50 years of age
• Diagnosis: Patients with histologic diagnosis (by institutional pathologist) of newly diagnosed, localized or regionally disseminated Ewing sarcoma or peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of bone or soft tissue or; Patients with histologic diagnosis (by institutional pathologist) of newly diagnosed, non-pelvic, localized or regionally disseminated high-grade osteosarcoma. NOTE: Staging will be assessed according to standard of care at the treating center.
• Prior Therapy:
‣ Patients should have only previously had a biopsy, and not had prior attempt at tumor resection.
⁃ Not yet started chemotherapy or radiation therapy OR patient has started chemotherapy or radiation therapy, but an appropriate pre-treatment baseline sample was collected and processed for ctDNA under a local banking study in DFCI Pediatrics and is available to use for this study.
• Planned to receive chemotherapy as follows:
• \-- VDC/IE as per COG protocols AEWS0031, AEWS1031 or AEWS1221 (for patients with Ewing sarcoma or PNET); or MAP as per COG protocol AOST0331 (for patients with osteosarcoma).
• For Part B subjects must meet all of the following eligibility criteria.
• Age: ≥ 12 months of age at time of study enrollment
• Diagnosis: Patients with histologic diagnosis (by institutional pathologist) of newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma or peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of bone or soft tissue
• Prior Therapy:
‣ Patients should have had only frontline therapy as per institutional standard, and maintenance therapy if given (no relapse therapy).
⁃ If frontline systemic therapy already completed (not including maintenance or metastatic site radiation), therapy completed within 6 months of enrollment to Part B.
⁃ Subjects must have a willing physician provider supporting their participation in Part B.
• For Part B, providers are eligible to receive the provider survey if they are listed as the primary provider for the patient at the study site.
