Circulating " Cancer Cells / Macrophage " HYbrid Cells in Patients With Sarcoma, Part 2 (SAMHY2)

May 28, 2025 updated by: Institut Claudius Regaud

Pilot, prospective, monocentric study aimed at evaluating the rate of patients with circulating "cancer cell/macrophage" hybrid cells in the peripheral blood and the evolution of this rate over time.

The study will be conducted on a population of patients with leiomyosarcoma and treated in the context of routine care. 20 patients will be included:

  • 10 patients with localized disease.
  • 10 patients with metastatic disease.

For each included patient, blood samples will be collected during baseline visit and up to 24 months after inclusion.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Patient with leiomyosarcoma

For patients with localized leiomyosarcoma, samples will be collected:

  • At Baseline.
  • Before surgery (for patients who have had neoadjuvant treatment (external radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy)).
  • After surgery.
  • At each control visit.
  • At local or metastatic recurrence (or at 24 months post inclusion if no progression).

For patients with metastatic leiomyosarcoma, samples will be collected:

  • At Baseline.
  • At each therapeutic line.
  • At progression (or at 24 months post inclusion if no progression).

What is the study measuring?
