Brief Title: Prospective Collection of Tumor Biopsy and Plasma Samples From Cancer Patients Treated With Molecular Targeted Therapies or Immunotherapy
Official Title: Prospective Collection of Tumor Biopsy and Plasma Samples From Cancer Patients Treated With Molecular Targeted Therapies or Immunotherapy
Study ID: NCT03835520
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples, as well as tumor tissue for genetic analysis. The collection of samples will allow the creation of a plasma bank. Targeted individuals are cancer patients of all types, treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Immunotherapy or targeted agents will be administered according to standard of care and reimbursement modalities in Belgium. Targeted agents will be administered according to manufacturer's instructions. With the aim to identify predictive markers of response to treatment or possible resistance mechanism, the plasma samples and the tumor samples will be used for genetic analysis, for example but not limited to, whole exome sequencing. This may lead to the discovery of some germinal mutations implicated in other diseases than cancer.
