About this study

Official title: Use of Specific Genetic Alteration s of Tumoral Cells Identified by NGS to Follow Peripheral Samples of Children With Metastatic and/or High Risk Solid Tumor -

The search for genetic alterations in primary tumor by NGS techniques followed by the detection of these alterations in circulating tumor DNA and/or CTC/DTC present in peripheral samples (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, bone marrow, possibly urine) collected during several steps and after the treatment could be a tool to monitor the response during and after the treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Tumoral specific genetic alterationsBiological

    A buccal swab and a blood sample will be used at the diagnostic to identify the specific genetic alterations of tumoral cells.

  • Tumoral specific genetic alterationsBiological

    Collection of blood (maximum 9 samples of 3 to 5 ml), bone marrow (maximum 3 samples of 3 to 5 ml) and cerebral spinal fluid (maximum 3 samples 500µl to 1ml).

Study groups in NCT02546453
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Tumoral specific genetic alterationsOtherNGS techniques (next generation sequencing) will be used to identify specific genetic alterations of tumoral cells of a patient. If specific genetic alterations is detected, they will be used to detect circulating tumor DNA and/or circulating/disseminated tumoral cells (CTC/DTC) in peripheral samples (blood, bone marrow, cerebral spinal fluid) collected before, during and after treatment.
Receives: Biological: Tumoral specific genetic alterations

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of specific genetic alterations

    Genetic alterations which have been previously detected by NGS technique in the tumor, in circulating tumoral DNA and/or CTC/DTC present in a blood sample at the inclusion.

    Measured: at the inclusion

  2. Detection of specific genetic alterations of tumoral cells in peripheral samples

    Detection of specific genetic alterations of tumoral cells in peripheral samples for which presence of tumoral cells has been confirmed by conventional clinic techniques (cytology, anatomopathology, immunohistochemistry

    Measured: Up to 6 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Detection of genetic alterations in solid tumor pediatric samples

    Use of identified genetic alterations in solid tumor pediatric samples to help to confirm diagnosis and prognosis and to search for new therapeutic targets

    Measured: At the inclusion

  2. Change of CTC/DTC/circulating tumoral DNA levels detected by PCR targeting specific genetic alterations of tumoral cells in peripheral samples will be confronted to clinical features including patient outcome

    Measured: Up to 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tumoral specific genetic alterations in people with Metastatic and/or High Risk Solid Tumor of Children, run by Institut Curie 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 6 inclusion and 2 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 31 Jan 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?

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?

Detection by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of specific genetic alterations (time frame: at the inclusion). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Jan 2024.
