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.

  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
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.
A buccal swab and a blood sample will be used at the diagnostic to identify the specific genetic alterations of tumoral cells.
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).
