January 29, 2024 updated by: Institut Curie

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.

Study Overview

Status

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

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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

No older than 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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.
Other: Tumoral specific genetic alterations
NGS 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.
Biological: Tumoral specific genetic alterations
A buccal swab and a blood sample will be used at the diagnostic to identify the specific genetic alterations of tumoral cells.
Biological: Tumoral specific genetic alterations
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).

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
Detection by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of specific genetic alterations
Time Frame: at the inclusion
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.
at the inclusion
Detection of specific genetic alterations of tumoral cells in peripheral samples
Time Frame: Up to 6 years
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
Up to 6 years

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
Detection of genetic alterations in solid tumor pediatric samples
Time Frame: At the inclusion
Use of identified genetic alterations in solid tumor pediatric samples to help to confirm diagnosis and prognosis and to search for new therapeutic targets
At the inclusion
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
Time Frame: Up to 6 years
Up to 6 years

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
