Multicentre Retrospective Cohort Study of Palliative Care Pathways in Patients Who Died From Sarcoma (SARCOPALL)

April 9, 2026 updated by: Centre Leon Berard

The goal of this observational study is to describe palliative pathways in adult patients who died from their sarcoma.

The main question it aims to answer is:

How patients who died from sarcoma are followed by palliative team.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Palliative pathways of patients who died from sarcoma
Time Frame: From date of inclusion until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 42 months

Palliative pathways will be described using the proportion of patients with each of the following component :

  • hospitalisation in a palliative care unit,
  • consultation with palliative care doctor,
  • mobile palliative care team advice We collect data on the first and last time of each kind of palliative follow up, we collect the number of day between the meeting and death For exemple: palliative care unit: first meeting 200 days before death and last meeting 80 days before death
From date of inclusion until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 42 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2024

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
