Search for a Link Between Response to Treatment and Circulating Leucocytes in High Grade Glioma Patients

Study Purpose

Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), is an antiangiogenic treatment currently proposed to recurrent high grade glioma patients. Unfortunately some patients fail to respond to this treatment and finding biological factors allowing the discrimination between potential responders and non responders would be very helpful. As the immune system plays a key role in angiogenesis induction and maintenance in cancer, it could serve as a surrogate marker of angiogenesis in cancer patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of bevacizumab treatment on circulating immune cells in high grade glioma patients and to search for a link between the variation of these cells and the response to treatment.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT01836536
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The following leucocyte subsets will be analyzed in whole blood before treatment and before cycles 3, 5 and 7:

  • - Classical, intermediate, nonclassical and Tie2 expressing monocytes.
  • - Regulatory T cells (Treg).
  • - Myeloid Derived Suppressor cells (MDSCs) The variation of the absolute numbers (or relative percentages) of the cells in the blood of patients will be correlated to the response to treatment assessed according to the RANO criteria.
