Protocol for Collecting, Banking and Distributing Human Tissue Samples: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Tissue Resources Core Facility

October 9, 2023 updated by: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

TBANK: Protocol for Collecting, Banking and Distributing Human Tissue Samples: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Tissue Resources Core Facility

The aims of this protocol are: to collect and store diseased and normal tissue and body fluid samples from new and returning patients at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH), affiliated sites and collaborating institutions; to collect and store samples from relatives of SJCRH patients; to collect and store retrospective and prospective pertinent corresponding clinical and laboratory data on disease characterization, treatment, and outcome; and to serve as a source of human biological samples and corresponding laboratory and clinical data.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

There is no study design for this protocol. Samples obtained under IRB/IEC-approved protocols that clearly permit storage of patient material at SJCRH will be banked, provided proof of informed consent is available. Such samples will be tagged accordingly and will be only released to fulfill the aim(s) of the protocol under which they were obtained, or to investigators that apply to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Tissue Resources Committee to use the samples.

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Collecting, processing and archiving human tissue
Time Frame: Samples will be stored indefinitely.
Human tissue and body fluids will be collected for use in research; The processing of samples helps to reduce duplication of technical effort, equipment, supplies, and laboratory space by investigators requiring human tissues for research
Samples will be stored indefinitely.
