About this study

Patients with malignant tumours of the cephalic pole have a poor prognosis, despite a wide range of treatments. prognosis despite a large therapeutic arsenal. Among this arsenal, radiotherapy (RT) is one of the standard treatments for these tumours. However, this treatment can cause damage to the surrounding healthy tissue, has limited efficacy in hypoxic However, this treatment can cause damage to the surrounding healthy tissue, has limited efficacy in hypoxic tissue and can promote pro-tumour inflammation.

In these circumstances, hadrontherapy, which uses charged heavy particles, such as protons or carbon ions, is the preferred treatment. protons or carbon ions, seems more appropriate for the treatment of these tumours. However, although inflammation plays a major role in tumour development and tumour development and therapeutic response, few studies have evaluated the immune response response after proton therapy (PT) and carbon therapy (CT). The objective of this project is to study the effect of hadrontherapy on resident/circulating inflammation after brain irradiation. brain irradiation. In a first step, the impact of different PT and CT TEL on macrophages (M\Ф), the most abundant immune cells in malignant solid tumours, will be evaluated in vitro. malignant solid tumours, will be evaluated in vitro. In a second step, the evolution of circulating leukocytes after brain irradiation with X-rays or protons will be studied in vivo in rodents and patients. rodent and patient. In this project, we propose to study for the first time the inflammatory response after hadrontherapy in the context of a cephalic tumour. cephalic tumour. These results will allow a better understanding of the biological response response following PT and CT with the aim of optimising RT and potentially and potentially translate these data to the clinic.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Collection of blood samples in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Centre Francois Baclesse 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 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2024. 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 Mathieu CESAIRE, MD (+33 (0)2 31 45 50 20, m.cesaire@baclesse.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CD8+ T-cell count. (time frame: up to 3 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 NCT05082961, 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 Dec 2024.
