Trial Completed: Characterization of the Methylation Profile of Stored Human Samples (NCT07573072)
WHY IT MATTERS
This work improves the infrastructure that researchers need to study rare bone and connective tissue disorders, potentially speeding up future discoveries for patients with sarcomas and inflammatory joint diseases.
Researchers at an Italian orthopedic hospital completed a study to better organize and share biological samples (like tissue and blood) from 90 patients with bone tumors and joint diseases. The goal was to make these stored samples easier for scientists to find and use for future research, following international standards for data sharing.
NCT ID: NCT07573072 Status: COMPLETED Conditions: Rare Disorders, Sarcoma of Bone and Connective Tissue, Inflammatory Articular Diseases Enrollment: 90 Sponsor: Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli Summary: The project, funded by the PNRR under Mission 4 "Education and Research," aims to strengthen the network of Italian biobanks by improving data management in accordance with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). The University of Trento has issued a call for proposals to support Italian biobanks in characterizing samples and expanding associated datasets using advanced technologies.
