Comparison of Different Methods of CAPTure of Circulating Tumour Cells (CTC) in Patients With Metastatic Breast or Prostate Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Taking blood samples before starting treatment: For patient included in the metastatic breast cancer and prostate cancer, a blood sample will be taken (37 mL in total) for the CTCs detection using the 3 technologies (CellSearch®, Parsortix® and SmartCatch®). For 3 patients only, an additional blood volume (18 mL) will also be collected for tcDNA detection (exploratory analysis of 3 patients). For patient included in the metastatic breast cancer complementary cohort, a blood sample will be taken (56 mL in total) for the CTCs detection using Parsortix® and SmartCatch® technologies.
Study summary
This trial is a pilot, prospective, single-center study conducted in a population of patients with metastatic breast cancer (whatever the immunohistochemical subtype) or metastatic prostate cancer. The aim of this exploratory study is to compare the sensitivity of three different techniques (CellSearch®, Parsortix® and SmartCatch®) in detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs). After the patient's agreement, and before starting anti-tumor treatment, a blood sample will be taken using the 3 different CTC detection techniques.
Each patient will participate in the study for one day.
A total of 54 evaluable patients (36 patients with metastatic breast cancer and 18 patients with metastatic prostate cancer) will be included in this interventional study.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The rate of patients with at least one additional CTC detected by the SmartCatch® method compared with the standard approach (CellSearch®). — 15 months after the study start
It is defined by the ratio of the number of patients with at least one additional CTC detected by the SmartCatch® method compared with the standard approach (CellSearch®) to the total number of patients.
