Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples, as well as tumor tissue for genetic analysis. The collection of samples will allow the creation of a plasma bank. Targeted individuals are cancer patients of all types, treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples, as well as tumor tissue for genetic analysis. The collection of samples will allow the creation of a plasma bank. Targeted individuals are cancer patients of all types, treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy.

Immunotherapy or targeted agents will be administered according to standard of care and reimbursement modalities in Belgium. Targeted agents will be administered according to manufacturer's instructions.

With the aim to identify predictive markers of response to treatment or possible resistance mechanism, the plasma samples and the tumor samples will be used for genetic analysis, for example but not limited to, whole exome sequencing. This may lead to the discovery of some germinal mutations implicated in other diseases than cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. efficacy of treatment against Cancer

    Efficacy will be determined in terms of overall responses according to standard practice by the local investigator. Disease and response assessments are defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 120 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of inclusion to the date of death from any cause or to the date of last follow-up (in exceptional cases where it is impossible to document the date of death). Every effort should be made to document the cause of death.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression assessed up to 120 months

  2. Progression free survival

    Progression free survival (PFS) will be measured from the date of inclusion to the date of progression or death, whatever the cause.

    Progression will be defined according to the RECIST criteria.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression , assessed up to 120 months

  3. Objective tumor response

    Objective tumor response will be measured according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 120 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Immunotherapeutic Agent and Molecular Target in people with Cancer, run by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2023. 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 Belgium. 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?

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?

efficacy of treatment against Cancer (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 120 months). 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 11 Dec 2023.
