Study on Dynamic CtDNA Analysis in Pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Pediatric soft tissue sarcoma is made up of different subtypes, some of which have distinct genetic alterations. Fusion variants were found in about 43% of bone and soft tissue sarcoma samples. Ewing sarcoma is characterized by recurrent chromosome translocation, with up to 95% of cases showing EWS-ETS translocation. The genetic features of the tumor can change as it spreads or shrinks, and can also be influenced by treatment.
To better understand treatment response and predict relapse early, our study collects liquid samples such as blood, bone marrow, or cerebrospinal fluid at various points during treatment. We then use next-generation sequencing to dynamically monitor the unique genetic profile of the tumor. Additionally, our research may identify new genetic targets and suggest potential treatment options.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The rate to detected tumor progression by ctDNA before radiographic tumor progression [Oct,2022-Dec 2023,recruting patients; Jan 2024-Mar 2024,analyzing the genetic features in samples;Jan 2023-May 2024,follow up patients]
Progression-Free Survival PFS is defined as the time from randomization to progression or death. The definition of ctDNA positive samples : at least one of somatic alterations detected by 475-gene panel.
