A Prospective Feasibility Study Evaluating Extracellular Vesicles Obtained by Liquid Biopsy for Neoadjuvant Treatment Response Assessment in Rectal Cancer

Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Routine clinical and radiological assessment of response of patients with rectum cancer to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy does not allow accurate identification of complete pathological response, and leads to frequent false positive and negative results. Molecular markers reflecting the initial and post-nCRT status of the tumor would be ideal to select patients eligible for organ preservation. This project will test the detection of tumor extracellular vesicles (EVs) in liquid biopsy as a reliable marker for the identification of poor versus good responders to nCRT.
