Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the ability of heat shock protein HSP70 to isolate and quantify circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with advanced or metastatic tumors. CTCs will be isolated from peripheral blood before antineoplastic treatment and again after three months. Isolation using HSP70 will be compared with standard CTC isolation by EpCAM. Additionally, imaging parameters of the primary tumor (if available) and metastases will be analysed and correlations between molecular alterations and imaging parameters will be assesed.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Radiographic response to initial treatment	radiographic response to treatment will be scored according to RECIST criteria and associated with the number of CTC	3 months after study enrollment
Secondary	Correlation between number of CTC isolated with HSP70 compared to EpCAM	the number of CTCs obtained by the novel HSP70 method will be compared to the current gold standard that uses EpCAM. This will be performed for the whole cohort and separate for each tumor site	3 months (at both CTC assessment timepoints)
Secondary	Correlation between differential expressed radiommic parameters between primary tumor and metastases and genetic alterations of the primary tumor and CTCs	computed tomography parameters of primary tumors and metastases will be analysed and parameters extraced that are differentially expressed between both. The same will be performed for genomic mutations and gene expression of the primary tumor and CTC. Correlation analyses will be performed to analyze if radiographic parameters resemble genetic alterations	3 months (at both CTC assessment timepoints)
Secondary	Progression free survival	Progression free survival will be evaluated with the number of CTC as variable. This will be performed for the whole cohort and separate for each tumor site	2 years
Secondary	Overall survival	Overall survival will be evaluated with the number of CTC as variable. This will be performed for the whole cohort and separate for each tumor site	2 years
