About this study

Official title: Characterization of Tumoral Circulating Cells According to Stage of Progression of Colorectal Cancers

Prospective research of circulating tumor cells as markers of progression risk in colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study aims at allowing a better understanding of which circulating tumor cells (CTC) have the higher risk of metastasis of in the overall population of CTC.

Prospective monocenter open-label study.

In the frame of the management of the disease, blood samples will be collected at different times of treatment, regarding disease status (localized of stage II/III, metastatic non resectable, metastatic potentially resectable). Tissue samples will be collected for patients scheduled for surgery.

Being tested
Blood and tumor samples
Medical subject headings
Colorectal Neoplasms

Study groups in NCT03256084
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Colorectal CancerExperimentalLocalized stage II/III (group 1), metastatic non resectable (group 2), metastatic potentially resectable (group 3). Additional blood samples specific for the research will be collected. Tissue samples will be taken on surgical specimens from surgery.
Receives: Procedure: Blood and tumor samples

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of CTC features

    Changes in the number of CTC with high risk to form metastasis, defined as an aggregation of phenotypic, molecular and functional characteristics.

    Measured: Group 1: at surgery, 4 (+/- 1) weeks post-surgery, at progression. Group 2: before chemotherapy, after 4 months treatment (responders), at progression. Group 3: before neoadjuvant surgery, at surgery, 4 (+/- 1) weeks post-surgery, at progression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood and tumor samples in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes 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 5 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2021. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Dominique GENRE, MD (+33 4 91 22 37 78, drci.up@ipc.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of CTC features (time frame: Group 1: at surgery, 4 (+/- 1) weeks post-surgery, at progression. Group 2: before chemotherapy, after 4 months treatment (responders), at progression. Group 3: before neoadjuvant surgery, at surgery, 4 (+/- 1) weeks post-surgery, at progression.). 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 NCT03256084, which also lists 4 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 6 May 2021.
