Blood test may predict immunotherapy success in cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07376512
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether tiny particles in the blood, called extracellular vesicles, can help doctors predict if immunotherapy will work for people with advanced lung cancer or melanoma. Researchers will collect blood samples from 378 patients before and during standard treatment. The goal is to find biomarkers that show who is likely to respond well, helping personalize cancer care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or melanoma, locally advanced or metastatic, and unresectable. For all patients, first-line standard treatment will be based on standard care with an anti-PD-(L)1 therapy, either as monotherapy or in combination (with other immune checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy). Standard treatments are defined by the approved indications (marketing authorizations) in France.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years. * Histologically confirmed diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or locally advanced/metastatic unresectable melanoma. * Patient scheduled to initiate anti-PD-(L)1 therapy, either as monotherapy or in combination (other immune checkpoint inhibitors, chemotherapy, etc.). * Baseline tumor assessment performed within 28 days prior to enrollment (CT scan of thorax, abdomen, and pelvis) with at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. * Life expectancy \>6 months. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 at enrollment. * Patient able to provide informed consent and comply with study procedures. * Patient covered by a social security system or equivalent. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with immunotherapy. * Presence of EGFR or ALK mutation (applicable only to the lung cohort). * Presence of another synchronous malignancy. * Diagnosis of uveal melanoma. * Treatment with systemic immunosuppressants, including within 28 days prior to enrollment, or corticosteroids \>10 mg/day, including within 14 days prior to enrollment. * Disease not measurable according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. * Positive serology for HIV, HBV, or HCV. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * Inability to comply with study follow-up and visits for geographic, social, or psychological reasons. * Individuals deprived of liberty or under legal guardianship (including curatorship).
