NACHO-BIO

Protocol for the Advancement
of â€‹Histiocytic Diseases Biology

​Study Background

Understanding pathogenesis of histiocytic diseases is prerequisite to improving clinical and therapeutic strategies. Biological samples collected will be used to investigate genes and proteins that may better define the biology of histiocytic diseases. Additionally, biomarker discovery experiments may identify biomarkers that may be utilized as diagnostic or therapeutic targets in future protocols. Tissue will be collected, processed and stored with correlated clinical data to support specific aims as well as future research initiatives. This will be a companion biology study to NACHO clinical trials.

​Primary Objective

To determine the biological basis of histiocytic diseases and evaluate clinically relevant biomarkers.
