About this study

Official title: Development of a Monocentric and Prospective Clinical and Biological Database in Digestive Cancers, Gynecological Cancers, Breast Cancers and Sarcomas

The BCB is a tool:

  • for research in analytical and public health epidemiology, biological research and for the development of data useful for clinical research and therapeutic trials;
  • to help scientists understand and explain phenomena ranging from the interaction of molecules to the whole metabolism of the organism in normal and pathological situations;
  • to identify potential strategies for prevention, diagnosis, management and analysis of cancer subtypes.

The creation of a broad clinical and biological prospective base dedicated to different types of cancer is essential for the development of such projects.

Read the detailed description

Implementation of a translational research project is part of the Cancer Plan 2014-2019 and its axis 5 "Advancing clinical and translational research in oncology", and more precisely Action 5.1.

The national health strategy launched by the Minister of Health and the Minister of Research will allow a better integration between research, innovation, medicine and care for the benefit of patients and society.

Moreover, knowledge of mechanisms involved in the phenomena of tumor invasion, metastatic dissemination, resistance to treatment and companion testing is crucial for the emergence of new biomarkers and therapeutic innovation.

However, the study of the earliest phases of tumorigenesis as well as of the advanced stages of the disease are currently limited by the low availability of blood and tissue samples combined with quality and reliable clinical data.

To meet these demands, the research must then integrate databases creation open to researchers and the ongoing evaluation of the impact of projects on the health of cancer patients.

Integrated research associated with quality biological research is the guarantee of medical progress.

The multidisciplinary structure around collections of biological resources will enable the various actors to harmonize not only the collection but also the sharing of their data with a view to making them available for medico-scientific projects at a regional and national dimension. The Clinical Biological Database (BCB) should be used to identify and characterize new molecular markers for better diagnosis and / or treatment. It should also permit to optimize the collection of all this information, their integration and their transversal exploitation by different research disciplines (epidemiological, fundamental, translational, clinical).

The BCB is a tool:

  • for research in analytical and public health epidemiology, biological research and for the development of data useful for clinical research and therapeutic trials;
  • to help scientists understand and explain phenomena ranging from the interaction of molecules to the whole metabolism of the organism in normal and pathological situations;
  • to identify potential strategies for prevention, diagnosis, management and analysis of cancer subtypes.

What participants receive

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

  • biological collectionBiological

    • Tissue samples (tumor tissue and healthy tissue) frozen and secured in paraffin collected during surgery.
    • Blood samples taken at different times. During the blood samples taken for diagnosis and / or treatment, additional samples for research purposes will be carried out.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing biological collection in people with Digestive Cancer and Gynecologic Cancer, run by Institut du Cancer de Montpellier - Val d'Aurelle 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 11 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact david azria (+33467613102, david.azria@icm.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients who consent to participate in the study (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 12 Feb 2025.
