Treatment will rely on already licensed and introduced chemotherapeutic drugs. Therefore, chemotherapeutic agents and other therapeutic substances needed for treatment in EpSSG RMS 2005 will not be paid for by the study nor will these substances be provided by pharmaceutical companies.</p> </div> </text> </section> <section> <title value="6.

Cooperation has intensified over the last few years and has led to the foundation of the European paediatric Soft tissue sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG). This is the first EpSSG protocol and it addresses the treatment of children and young people presenting with non-metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma.</p> </div> </text> <!-- Sub-section --> <section> <title value="PATIENTS ELIGIBILITY" /> <code> <coding> <system value="http://spor.ema.europa.eu/v1/example-sections" /> <code value="0000005557" /> <display value="Eligibility" /> </coding> </code> <text> <status value="additional" /> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>A) To the observational study</p> <ul> <li>Patients with pathologically confirmed rhabdomyosarcoma</li> <li>No evidence of metastatic disease</li> <li>Age 0 - < 21 years</li> </ul> </div> </text> </section> </section> <!-- sections can repeat as necessary --> </Composition> </resource> </entry> <entry> <fullUrl value="urn:uuid:812a430c-0eda-4615-a30b-a760edaa3597" /> <resource> <ResearchStudy> <id value="study-id" /> <identifier> <system value="https://eudract.europa.eu/example/identifier" /> <value value="RMS2005" /> </identifier> <title value="A Protocol for Non Metastatic Rhabdomyosarcoma" /> <status value="active" /> <condition> <coding> <system value="http://snomed.info/sct" /> <code value="302847003" /> <display value="Rhabdomyosarcoma" /> </coding> </condition> <descriptionSummary value="To give a homogenous local and systemic treatment Europe-wide according to the risk of local and metastatic relapse in patients categorized in Low, Standard and Very High Risk Groups (observational study)"></descriptionSummary> <!--sponsor> <display value="European paediatric Soft tissue sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG)"/> </sponsor--> <!--classification> <type> <text value="Observational Study Model"/> </type> <classifier> <text value="Cohort"/> </classifier> </classification--> <associatedParty> <name value="The Co-operative Weichteilsarkom Studie (CWS)" /> <role> <coding> <system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/ResearchStudyPartyRole"></system> <code value="collaborator" /> <display value="Collaborator" /> </coding> </role> </associatedParty> <associatedParty> <name value="The AIEOP Soft Tissue Sarcoma Committee (AIEOP STSC)" /> <role> <coding> <system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/ResearchStudyPartyRole"></system> <code value="collaborator" /> <display value="Collaborator" /> </coding> </role> </associatedParty> <associatedParty> <name value="The SIOP Malignant Mesenchymal Tumour Committee (SIOP MMT)" /> <role> <coding> <system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/ResearchStudyPartyRole"></system> <code value="collaborator" /> <display value="Collaborator" /> </coding> </role> </associatedParty> <!--statusDate> <activity> <coding> <system value="http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-statusDate-activity"/> <code value="registration-submission"/> <display value="Registration submission"/> </coding> </activity> <actual value="true"/> <period> <start value="2012-05"/> </period> </statusDate--> <recruitment> <targetNumber value="20" /> <actualNumber value="19" /> <eligibility> <reference value="EvidenceVariable/evidence-variable" /> </eligibility> </recruitment> </ResearchStudy> </resource> </entry> <entry> <resource> <EvidenceVariable> <id value="evidence-variable" /> <title value="Patients for Rhabdomyosarcoma Study" /> <status value="active" /> <characteristic> <description value="Patients with pathologically confirmed rhabdomyosarcoma" /> <definitionCodeableConcept> <coding> <system value="http://snomed.info/sct" /> <code value="302847003" /> <display value="Rhabdomyosarcoma" /> </coding> </definitionCodeableConcept> </characteristic> <characteristic> <description value="Age 0 - < 21 years" /> <definitionReference> <reference value="Group/group-id" /> </definitionReference> </characteristic> </EvidenceVariable> </resource> </entry> <entry> <resource> <Group> <id value="group-id" /> <type value="person" /> <membership value="definitional" /> <code> <coding> <system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/GroupKind" /> <code value="cohort" /> </coding> </code> <characteristic> <code> <coding> <system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/GroupCharacteristicKind" /> <code value="age-range" /> </coding> </code> <valueRange> <low> <value value="0" /> <unit value="year" /> </low> <high> <value value="21" /> <unit value="year" /> </high> </valueRange> <exclude value="false" /> </characteristic> </Group> </resource> </entry> </Bundle>
