What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of the analysis of different blood-borne tumor biomarkers

    Success rate of the tested detection techniques. The success rate of a given detection technique is calculated by the ratio " detection success " / " number of screened patients ".

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation with biological and clinical data

    Number of biological analysis results correlated to clinical data. Establishment of a proof of concept

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sampling, Tumor sampling and Stool sampling in people with Cancer, run by Institut Curie at 5 sites 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 12 inclusion and 0 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 1 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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.

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?

Feasibility of the analysis of different blood-borne tumor biomarkers (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02866149, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 1 Oct 2024.
