What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares three different blood tests (CellSearch, Parsortix, and SmartCatch) to see which one best detects circulating tumor cells in patients with metastatic breast or prostate cancer. Researchers will take blood samples from 54 patients before they start a new treatment. The goal is to find a more sensitive method to track cancer spread, which could help guide future care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Blood sample collection for circulating tumor cell detection using CellSearch, Parsortix, and SmartCatch technologies
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could identify a more sensitive blood test for detecting cancer cells, potentially improving monitoring of metastatic breast and prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study (54 patients) that only compares detection methods, not treatment outcomes. The new techniques may not prove more effective than the standard approach.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 54 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

Nov 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient with breast cancer (whatever the immunohistochemical subtype: triple-negative, RH+/HER2-negative or HER2-positive) or prostate cancer, multi-metastatic, eligible for a new line of treatment. 2. Patient not yet initiated on a new specific treatment for breast or prostate cancer at inclusion. 3. Age ≥ 18 years and WHO ≤ 2 4. Patient affiliated to Social Security scheme in France. 5. Patient having signed informed consent prior to inclusion in the study and prior to any study-specific procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Associated pathology(ies) likely to prevent the study procedure from running smoothly 2. Any psychological, family, geographical or sociological condition that prevents compliance with the medical follow-up and/or procedures stipulated in the study protocol. 3. Patient deprived of liberty or under legal protection (guardianship, legal protection) 4. Patient who has had another solid tumor (excluding carcinoma in situ of the breast or cervix) within 5 years.
