Blood test may help match cancer patients to best drugs
NCT ID NCT07555600
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a blood test can predict how well certain cancer drugs (PARP inhibitors) work in people with advanced breast, prostate, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer. Researchers will collect blood and tumor samples from 300 adults to analyze cancer cells and their DNA repair abilities. The goal is to see if these tests can help doctors choose the most effective treatment for each patient.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- blood sampling and tumor sampling
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test that helps doctors choose the right treatment for patients with advanced cancers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, proof-of-concept study with no treatment being tested. The blood test may not reliably predict treatment response, and results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female patients ≥ 18 years at the day of signing informed consent. * Advanced/metastatic breast, prostate, ovarian and pancreatic cancer patients potentially eligible to PARP inhibitor treatment as monotherapy or in combination as per respective SmPC (see Appendix 1) or IB if the PARPi treatment is investigational. * Patients who have understood, dated, and signed the written voluntary informed consent form before undergoing any procedure specific to the protocol. * Patients affiliated with or benefiting from medical insurance. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with secondary malignancy with the exception of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in-situ carcinoma of the cervix, localized prostate cancer, prior malignancy and no evidence of recurrence for ≥ 2 years. * Patients presenting a psychological, familial, geographical, or social situation that, in the investigator's judgment, could potentially prevent the signing of informed consent and/or compliance with study procedures. * Pregnant or breast-feeding women. * Patients under judicial protection (guardianship, curatorship, or legal safeguard), adults under protection in accordance with Articles L.1121-6, L.1121-8, and L.1121-8-1 of the French Public Health Code, as well asindividuals not affiliated with a social security scheme or without equivalent health coverage.
