Tissue and fluid (blood and saliva) samples will be collected both prospectively and retrospectively. Blood or saliva samples may also be collected from relatives of Castleman patients. Because of the scarcity of these samples, it will be necessary to make efforts to access all available cases. Many cases will occur at hospitals that do not have an existing relationship with the CDCN and may not have experience with tissue procurement; however, this is the only way to obtain the vast majority of samples. Samples may be used immediately, banked for future use, or further processed into DNA, cell lines, tissue microarrays, etc.\n\nThe samples will be stored at Precision for Medicine, a biorepository company that specializes in collection, processing, storage and distribution of biospecimens. Only researchers (US or international) who have applied to the CDCN and have been approved by the Biobank Advisory Board will be eligible to access biospecimens and/or data. The Biobank Advisory Board will be comprised of clinicians and scientists with experience in clinical and investigational practices in Castleman Disease.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Castleman Disease patients worldwide', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria\n\n* Potential study participants may be of any age, gender, or ethnicity who have been diagnosed with Castleman disease\n\nExclusion Criteria\n\n* None'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02871050', 'acronym': '"Castlebank"', 'briefTitle': 'Castleman Disease Collaborative Network Biobank', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Castleman Disease Collaborative Network'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Castleman Disease Collaborative Network Biobank: A Collection of Biospecimens and Clinical Data to Facilitate Research', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '#31132/1'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Castleman Disease Patients', 'description': 'Potential study participants may be of any age, gender, or ethnicity who have been diagnosed with Castleman disease.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Sample Collection']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Sample Collection', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Excess blood sample tubes and/or buccal swabs or saliva will have DNA and RNA extracted and serum and plasma separated out to be stored for future research purposes based on the results of this preliminary research.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Castleman Disease Patients']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '19146', 'city': 'Philadelphia', 'state': 'Pennsylvania', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Castleman Disease Collaborative Network', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 39.95238, 'lon': -75.16362}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'David C Fajgenbaum, MD, MBA, MSc', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Executive Director of Castleman Disease Collaborative Network'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'YES', 'description': 'Qualified Researchers, who apply for access to the database and are subsequently approved, will be given access to a limited dataset with direct identifiers removed in an Excel compatible file format or single SAS data files.
