The Jules Bordet Institute Molecular Profiling Program Feasibility Trial
- Conditions
- Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung CarcinomaColorectal Cancer MetastaticMetastatic Melanoma
- Interventions
- Procedure: Biopsy of a metastatic lesion.
- Registration Number
- NCT01932489
- Lead Sponsor
- Jules Bordet Institute
- Brief Summary
Prior to the use of genomic tests for patient inclusion in clinical trials, it is essential for the Jules Bordet Institute (JBI) to pilot the logistical and technical aspects by examining the feasibility and turnaround time of performing and obtaining data from a few key molecular assays.
Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer or melanoma will be enrolled. Biopsie from metastatic lesions will be performed. A targeted cancer gene screen assay will be performed using DNA sequencing.
Results will be discussed during a molecular screening tumor board.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Technical failure rate. 1 month Frequency of failures of each pathological and molecular tests.
Quality of the biopsies 1 month Percentage of frozen and FFPE core biopsies that are able to provide at least 1.5 μg of DNA of high quality suitable for molecular testing.
Percentage of patients with results within the specified turnaround time 1 month Percentage of patients for whom biopsy was performed within 10 working days from signature of the ICF and for whom all central laboratory results (pathology and molecular) will be available to the investigator within 15 working days from the time samples are received at the central laboratory (JBI).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Feasibility of a tumor sequencing board. 2 months Ability of the "tumor sequencing board" to assign patients to ongoing clinical trials.
