Overview

The purpose of this pilot study is that exosomes constitute a more interesting support for analyzes allowing a broader screening of molecular alterations to be carried out with more reliable, more sensitive and more efficient results than the reference Foundation One Liquid CDx test.

Description

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. The heterogeneity of tumors, the lack of reliable criteria for identifying different subtypes make their histopathological diagnosis and their management complex. The molecular profiling from circulating exosomes is one of the most promising approaches to better characterize gliomas.

We will demonstrate the superiority of detection by NGS of molecular abnormalities present in exosomes from glioblastomas, compared to detection by the Foundation One Liquid CDx test on ctDNA.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject of both sexes at least 18 years of age with glioblastoma.
  • Patient for whom an FMI test is indicated, progressing after a 1st line following the chemotherapy and radiotherapy protocol (STUPP protocol)
  • Patient affiliated to French social security

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient included in another research protocol using an experimental molecule.
  • Any medical or psychiatric condition which, in the Investigator's opinion, would preclude the patient from adhering to the protocol or completing the study per protocol
  • Patient under legal protection, guardianship or curatorship
  • Patient with active malignancy or a previous malignancy within the past 5 years; except for patient with resected Basocarcinoma and resected carcinoma in-situ of the cervix.

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.
