Recruiting

Male & Female

All ages

This study is looking to recruit 100000 Participants

The aims of this protocol are: to collect and store diseased and normal tissue and body fluid samples from new and returning patients at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH), affiliated sites and collaborating institutions; to collect and store samples from relatives of SJCRH patients; to collect and store retrospective and prospective pertinent corresponding clinical and laboratory data on disease characterization, treatment, and outcome; and to serve as a source of human biological samples and corresponding laboratory and clinical data.

Details for the study

Population

All patients, their relatives, and control populations treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH), collaborating sites and affiliates.

Brief Title

Protocol for Collecting, Banking and Distributing Human Tissue Samples: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Tissue Resources Core Facility

Official Title

TBANK: Protocol for Collecting, Banking and Distributing Human Tissue Samples: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Tissue Resources Core Facility

Brief Summary

The aims of this protocol are: to collect and store diseased and normal tissue and body fluid samples from new and returning patients at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH), affiliated sites and collaborating institutions; to collect and store samples from relatives of SJCRH patients; to collect and store retrospective and prospective pertinent corresponding clinical and laboratory data on disease characterization, treatment, and outcome; and to serve as a source of human biological samples and corresponding laboratory and clinical data.

Detailed Description

There is no study design for this protocol. Samples obtained under IRB/IEC-approved protocols
that clearly permit storage of patient material at SJCRH will be banked, provided proof of
informed consent is available. Such samples will be tagged accordingly and will be only
released to fulfill the aim(s) of the protocol under which they were obtained, or to
investigators that apply to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Tissue Resources
Committee to use the samples.

Outcome Measures

Outcome measures are the tests that investigators perform to prove whether or not a treatment being tested in a clinical trial is having any effect.

Primary

Collecting, processing and archiving human tissue

Human tissue and body fluids will be collected for use in research; The processing of samples helps to reduce duplication of technical effort, equipment, supplies, and laboratory space by investigators requiring human tissues for research

Samples will be stored indefinitely.

Study Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  -  Patients (and their relatives) and control populations treated or studied at SJCRH and
     SJCRH affiliates and collaborating sites that have IRB approval for TBANK with
     malignant and non-malignant conditions.

  -  Patients from institutions that do not have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval
     for TBANK, and at which a banking mechanism may not be established, who provide
     samples for research at St. Jude and from whom consent for TBANK is obtained by the
     TBANK principal investigator (PI).

Exclusion Criteria:

  -  Patients from institutions that do not have IRB approval for TBANK, and who have not
     provided consent for TBANK, or patients not enrolled on SJCRH protocols that
     incorporate consent for tumor banking.
