Protocol for Facilitating the Acquisition of Research Bone Marrow and Blood Samples
Sponsor
Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
Enrollment
150 participants
Start Date
Feb 1, 2010
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This clinical research protocol is intended to allow for bone marrow aspirate/biopsy and blood specimens to be collected for research purposes, specifically allowing subjects the option of sedation during the bone marrow procedure. Samples will be banked for future research related to cancer and other diseases. Researchers hope this protocol will improve the collection of research correlative and translational biopsy specimens for clinical research.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Inclusion Criteria3
- Planned procedure including a bone marrow aspirate and/or bone marrow biopsy
- The procedure is planned for the purpose of obtaining a research specimen (as part of another research study or as part of this stand-alone sample collection protocol.). Procedures with a dual purpose (i.e. to obtain both clinically-indicated specimens and research specimens) are permitted, but procedures to obtain clinical specimens only are not permitted.
- All subjects must provide written informed consent for the biopsy procedure, the collection of bone marrow and blood specimens for research purposes and (if planned) the administration of sedation.
Exclusion Criteria1
- Moderate sedation may not be administrated to subjects with a clinical contraindication to its provision, or if the investigator believes that administration of moderate sedation would constitute under risk to the subject.
