Overview

The BCB is a tool:

  • for research in analytical and public health epidemiology, biological research and for the development of data useful for clinical research and therapeutic trials;
  • to help scientists understand and explain phenomena ranging from the interaction of molecules to the whole metabolism of the organism in normal and pathological situations;
  • to identify potential strategies for prevention, diagnosis, management and analysis of cancer subtypes.

The creation of a broad clinical and biological prospective base dedicated to different types of cancer is essential for the development of such projects.

Description

Implementation of a translational research project is part of the Cancer Plan 2014-2019 and its axis 5 "Advancing clinical and translational research in oncology", and more precisely Action 5.1.

The national health strategy launched by the Minister of Health and the Minister of Research will allow a better integration between research, innovation, medicine and care for the benefit of patients and society.

Moreover, knowledge of mechanisms involved in the phenomena of tumor invasion, metastatic dissemination, resistance to treatment and companion testing is crucial for the emergence of new biomarkers and therapeutic innovation.

However, the study of the earliest phases of tumorigenesis as well as of the advanced stages of the disease are currently limited by the low availability of blood and tissue samples combined with quality and reliable clinical data.

To meet these demands, the research must then integrate databases creation open to researchers and the ongoing evaluation of the impact of projects on the health of cancer patients.

Integrated research associated with quality biological research is the guarantee of medical progress.

The multidisciplinary structure around collections of biological resources will enable the various actors to harmonize not only the collection but also the sharing of their data with a view to making them available for medico-scientific projects at a regional and national dimension. The Clinical Biological Database (BCB) should be used to identify and characterize new molecular markers for better diagnosis and / or treatment. It should also permit to optimize the collection of all this information, their integration and their transversal exploitation by different research disciplines (epidemiological, fundamental, translational, clinical).

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
