Use of Specific Genetic Alteration s of Tumoral Cells Identified by the Next Generation Sequencing Techniques (NGS) to Follow Peripheral Samples of Children With Metastatic and/or High Risk Solid Tumor - NGSKids

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Metastatic and/or High Risk Solid Tumor of Children
Registration Number
NCT02546453
Lead Sponsor
Institut Curie
Brief Summary

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.
