Can a Tumor's DNA guide better cancer care for kids?
NCT ID NCT05691608
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether analyzing the genetic makeup of tumors from children and young adults with cancer that has returned or not responded to treatment can help doctors choose more personalized therapies. Participants provide tumor and blood samples, which are sequenced to find specific genetic changes. A team of experts then discusses these results to recommend targeted treatment options. The goal is to improve survival and introduce new treatment strategies for advanced pediatric cancers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tumor biopsy and blood sample for molecular profiling
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help match more children with advanced cancer to targeted treatments based on their tumor's unique genetic makeup, potentially improving outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational profiling study, not a treatment trial, so it may not directly benefit participants. The success depends on whether identified genetic changes can be matched to available drugs.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient referred for sequencing of the tumor within the FMG2025 or equivalent program and written consent for FMG2025 - Cancers et leucémies pédiatriques en échec de traitement or equivalent signed * Written informed consent for MAPPYACTS 2 (or non-opposition for retrospective clinical data collection) according to local or national regulations * Patient with confirmed solid tumor or leukemia which is relapsed or refractory to standard treatment and who is potentially eligible for an experimental treatment or an early phase clinical trial at the time of tumor sequencing * Planned tumor biopsy, surgical resection, bone marrow or blood sample or recently (possibly within the last 3 months) archived frozen tumor material available of the current recurrent or refractory disease * Patients aged ≤ 25 years at the time of initial diagnosis * Performance status and life expectancy \> 3 months at the time of tumor sequencing that allows enrolment into an experimental trial * Patients affiliated with a Social Security Regimen or beneficiary of the same as per local regulatory requirements Exclusion Criteria: * Any concurrent illness or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to interfere with the interpretation of study results * Pregnant women
