Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Blood and tumor samples
Registration Number
NCT03256084
Lead Sponsor
Institut Paoli-Calmettes
Brief Summary

Prospective research of circulating tumor cells as markers of progression risk in colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

This study aims at allowing a better understanding of which circulating tumor cells (CTC) have the higher risk of metastasis of in the overall population of CTC.

Prospective monocenter open-label study.

In the frame of the management of the disease, blood samples will be collected at different times of treatment, regarding disease status (localized of stage II/III, metastatic non resectable, metastatic potentially resectable). Tissue samples will be collected for patients scheduled for surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of CTC featuresGroup 1: at surgery, 4 (+/- 1) weeks post-surgery, at progression. Group 2: before chemotherapy, after 4 months treatment (responders), at progression. Group 3: before neoadjuvant surgery, at surgery, 4 (+/- 1) weeks post-surgery, at progression.

Changes in the number of CTC with high risk to form metastasis, defined as an aggregation of phenotypic, molecular and functional characteristics.
