About this trial
This observational study aims to characterize the molecular, phenotypic, and functional inflammatory and immunological profile of patients with sporadic desmoid-type fibromatosis undergoing either active surveillance or systemic therapy. The study includes analysis of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), circulating immune and inflammatory molecules, immune cell subsets, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). The goal is to identify biomarkers associated with spontaneous or treatment-induced tumor regression and to evaluate potential correlations with specific ß-catenin mutations.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)
Quantification of circulating tumor DNA levels in peripheral blood samples to evaluate their association with the clinical course of the disease (stable disease, spontaneous regression, or progression according to RECIST criteria).
Phenotypic profile of circulating immune cells
Characterization of circulating immune cell subsets in peripheral blood samples using immunophenotyping assays.
Tumor immune microenvironment characteristics
Assessment of immune cell infiltration and inflammatory markers in available tumor biopsy samples to characterize the tumor immune microenvironment.
Clinical disease course
Clinical disease course assessed as stable disease, spontaneous regression, or progression according to RECIST criteria.
