Early Biomarkers of Tumor Response in High Dose Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Word Package 3 : Immune Response

March 12, 2026 updated by: Centre Oscar Lambret
This study will follow-up immune cell populations, secreted factors and released nanovesicles in the blood before, during and after high dose radiation therapy which should give new information of the efficacy of the hypofractionated high dose radiation therapy and a rationale for adjuvant immunotherapy.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • Patient information and collection of a signed informed consent form
  • Clinical data collection

  • Blood samples of 35 mL:

    1. after registration, prior to the first fraction of radiotherapy
    2. within 15 minutes after the administration of the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd radiotherapy sessions
    3. one week, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months after the last radiotherapy session
  • Storage of the blood samples at ambient temperature

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatic lesion of metastatic Colorectal Cancer,
  • metastasis from melanoma or renal cancer,
  • Age ≥ 18 years old,
  • Registered with a social security system,
  • Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Blood samples collection

Nine blood samples will be collected in each patient before, during and after radiotherapy treatment.

Interventions :

  • Blood samples collection before radiotherapy (T0)
  • Blood samples collection during radiotherapy (T1-T3)
  • Blood samples collection after radiotherapy (T4-T8)
Radiation: Radiotherapy
Procedure: Blood samples collection before radiotherapy

Nine blood samples (35 mL each) will be collected in each patient before, during and after radiotherapy treatment.

Before radiotherapy:

  • Sample T0: after registration, in the days running up to the administration of the first fraction of radiotherapy
Procedure: Blood samples collection during radiotherapy
  • Sample T1: within 15 minutes after the administration of the first fraction,
  • Sample T2: within 15 minutes after the administration of the second fraction,
  • Sample T3: within 15 minutes after the administration of the third fraction
Procedure: Blood samples collection after radiotherapy
  • Sample T4: one week after the end of the radiotherapy,
  • Samples T5 to T8: respectively 3 months, six months, 9 months and 12 months after the end of the radiotherapy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Analyse of immunological parameters, decription of secreted markers and nanovesicles production
Time Frame: from baseline to 1 year follow up
Description and evolution of cell fraction, quantification of immune cells, verification of the presence and evolution of activation markers and quantification of secreted exosomes ; before, during and after radiotherapy
from baseline to 1 year follow up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cell viability, determined by number of live/dead cells present
Time Frame: from baseline to 1 year follow up
Cell viability and cell proliferation
from baseline to 1 year follow up
Progression-free rate
Time Frame: from baseline to 1 year follow up
progression-free rate at 12 months
from baseline to 1 year follow up
