Overview

The "simple" analysis of the exome can determine somatic and constitutional mutations. The major challenge lies in the translation of sequencing data into clinically relevant information allowing the clinician to guide his decision-making A "complex" analysis of the exome would provide access to structural DNA data, concerning mutational signatures, tumor mutational load, analysis of large deletions, loss of heterozygosity as well as amplification of certain genes which may have an impact on the management of patients.

No data available to date makes it possible to assess the clinical interest of the availability of its additional information resulting from a "complex" analysis compared to a "simple" analysis. The objective of the EXOMA2 study is to assess the proportion of patients for whom the proposed therapy is derived from its additional information (complex analysis) and would not have been possible with a classic exome analysis (simple analysis) .

We hereby formulate the hypothesis that a "complex" analysis on a population presenting a metastatic or locally advanced disease treated early (from the 1st line of treatment) will make it possible to determine therapeutic indications which could not be discovered with a "simple" analysis.

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.
