What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • research of druggable molecular alterations on tumor biopsyDiagnostic test

    The study will run in 2 steps. Before starting a new treatment, patients with advanced cancer will undergo a tumor biopsy of a metastatic site in order to perform molecular analyses seeking for druggable molecular alterations

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with a PFS2 to PFS1 ratio superior to 1.5.

    PFS1 is defined as the time to a documented progression under conventional therapy according to RECIST 1.1. PFS2 is defined as the time to a documented progression or death when patients are treated by targeted therapy according to RECIST 1.1

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Overall response rate (ORR) on both treatments

    Evaluation of the best objective response rate (ORR) for each treatment according to RECIST 1.1 The best ORR is the best response reached during treatment according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Evaluation of overall survival (OS) defined as the time between inclusion and death, whatever the cause is. Alive patients will be censored at their last known contact date.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. number of grade 3 or 4 adverse events and grade 1 or 2 adverse events that lead to dose modification or interruption

    Evaluation of toxicities related to treatments according to CTCAE v4.03. Only grade 3 or 4 adverse events and grade 1 or 2 adverse events that lead to dose modification or interruption

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Ability of ctDNA to detect molecular alterations identified on tumor biopsies

    Percentage of patients for whom all druggable molecular alterations detected on the tumor biopsy are also detected on ctDNA.

    Measured: at baseline

  5. Ability of fine-needle aspiration cytology to detect molecular alterations identified on tumor biopsies

    Percentage of patients for whom all druggable molecular alterations detected on the tumor biopsy are also detected on fine-needle aspiration cytology

    Measured: at baseline

  6. Ability of sequential ctDNA sampling to predict response/resistance to treatment

    Changes in ctDNA levels and molecular alterations observed at different time points.

    Measured: through study completion, every 2 months

  7. Proportion of patients with a PFS2 to PFS1 ratio superior to 1.5, including patients who were treated with matched therapy based on a molecular alteration outside of RAF/MEK pathway

    PFS1 is defined as the time to a documented progression under conventional therapy according to RECIST 1.1. PFS2 is defined as the time to a documented progression or death when patients are treated by targeted therapy according to RECIST 1.1

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing research of druggable molecular alterations on tumor biopsy in people with Cancer and Solid Tumor, Adult, run by Institut Curie at 4 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 8 inclusion and 9 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 11 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

Proportion of patients with a PFS2 to PFS1 ratio superior to 1.5. (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT03084757, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Aug 2025.
