Study for Validation of Immunological Biomarkers in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Other: Additional biological samples
Registration Number
NCT02817178
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon
Brief Summary

The investigators recently identified promiscuous HLA-DR-derived epitopes from the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) called universal cancer peptides (UCP), to study tumor-specific CD4+ T cell responses.

The investigators found high frequency of naturally occuring UCP-specific TH1 cells in long term survival of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) previously treated by 5 fluoro-uracil -oxaliplatin (Folfox) +/- bevacizumab regiment (Godet et al. OncoImmunology 2012 and unpublished data).

Epitopes-CRC02 is a French prospective multicenter study which will evaluate the post chemotherapy and post surgery modulation of host tumor-specific CD4 TH1 cell responses in metastatic colorectal cancer patients and their correlation with progression-free survival.

Additional biological samplesAdditional biological samplesAdditional blood samples will be realized specifically to the study at baseline, at 1 month, at 3 months, and 1 month after surgery (if applicable). Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) and plasma will be collected. Tissue tumor is collected during surgery if applicable.
