About this study

Severity of colorectal cancer (CRC) is evaluated by its local staging, locoregional and general ( presence of metastases , usually liver ). This is the most common cancer in France and, despite surgical treatment of the primary tumor, it is still subject to a high mortality rate due to metastatic evolution, mainly hepatic .

There is currently no specific marker for predicting cancer, the same hardly changed , which would modulate the aggressive therapeutic strategy . antigen (CEA) is used in the monitoring of JRC made.Tissue factor (TF) is the VII tissue factor receptor. it initiates the coagulation cascade. it was noted as a true cell marker tumorale1 aggressiveness. Corroborating evidence that the way the TF plays an important role in the invasive and metastatic potential of CRC. First, various human cancer cell lines express the FT colic. Furthermore, there is a relationship between the importance of monocyte TF expression and the evolutionary potential of human CRC.

The investigators hypothesize that these interest intra-platelet and plasma markers are a reflection of tumor angiogenic potential. And the investigators will verify the superiority of their preoperative levels in the CRC group compared with the control group, normalization of postoperative after surgical resection rates and their possible re-ascent in case of tumor recurrence in the CRC group.

The levy to one month in controls allow us to verify the absence of secondary modification to laparotomy, the colectomy and general anesthesia.

The investigators assume that the rate of soluble TF in peripheral blood of the holders of CRC patients may be a marker of invasion and aggression (i.e. prognosis).

Read the detailed description

The study is to measure the TF in the blood, as well as ACE, C reactive protein and E-selectin. The TF will also be measured in the tissue removed during surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. TNM primary colorectal tumor stage

    soluble blood TNM value will be determined before surgery, and compared between groups.

    Measured: Before surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. TF (blood levels of soluble TF)

    Comparing the pre - operative and post -operative blood levels of soluble TF and TF intratumoral

    Measured: 1 , 6 , 12, 18 and 24 months .5 years

  2. TF intratumoral (blood levels of TF intratumoral)

    Comparing the pre - operative and post -operative blood levels of soluble TF and TF intratumoral

    Measured: 1 , 6 , 12, 18 and 24 months .5 years

  3. E- selectin and CRP

    Comparison - soluble TF with blood levels of other circulating proteins: E- selectin and CRP at different times of follow-up.

    Measured: 1 , 6 , 12, 18 and 24 months. 5 years

  4. ACE

    Evaluation of the prognostic value of blood levels of soluble TF and that of ACE blood on the incidence of Metastases Hepatic in patients undergoing CRC and / or hepatic

    Measured: 1 , 6 , 12, 18 and 24 months .5 years

  5. Interaction plate / tumor cell

    Quantifying the interaction plate / tumor cell by measuring intraplatelet regulatory proteins and angiogenesis markers of platelet activation and plasma compare the

    Measured: 1 , 6 , 12, 18 and 24 months .5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Group CRC in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by University Hospital, Lille at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TNM primary colorectal tumor stage (time frame: Before surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Dec 2025.
