Clinical trial: KRAS Mutation and Incidence of the Colorectal Carcinoma in Martinique Between 2007 and 2009

Summary: -  There is no data at present concerning the KRAS mutation in patients from Martinique with colorectal cancer. Despite the fact that the incidence of this disease continues to increase there is no recent data to confirm it. This study has a descriptive purpose, allowing a comparison of the population from Martinique to other populations.
  -  A study of incidence of colorectal cancer, overseen by the Association from Martinique for the Epidemiological Search on Cancer (AMREC), also leads to a better knowledge of the local characteristics of the colorectal cancer.
  -  These two descriptive characteristics of colorectal cancer in Martinique will be useful data for the health professionals to provide their patients better care.

Detailed description: -  The colorectal carcinogenesis is complex. It influences among others, the EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) which activation leads to tumoral proliferation, differentiation and invasion. The binding of the EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) or of another ligand to the EGFR is responsible for the activation of the Ras- Raf and Pi3k pathways.
  -  The mutation of the genes KRAS, BRAF or PIK3CA results in their continuous activation, independently of the activation or of the pharmacological blocking of EGFR. The most frequently found mutation affects the KRAS gene (20 to 50 % of the cases). 90 % of these mutations are situated on codons 12 and 13 of this gene (70 % codon 12 and 30 % codon 13). These mutations are responsible for a decrease of the GTPase activity of the ras protein, which stays then in active conformation bound to the GTP. This leads to the blocking of the pathway and to the inactivity of the pharmacological blocking of EGFR.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  for the study of the KRAS mutation: 250 patients drawn by lots among the cases of colorectal carcinoma diagnosed between January 1st, 2007 and December 31st, 2009 in Martinique
  -  for the study of incidence: patient for whom was diagnosed a colorectal carcinoma between January 1st, 2007 and December 31st, 2009
  -  patient unopposed and in free agreement to participate in this study
  -  patient having his main home in Martinique at the time of the diagnosis
  -  patient 18 years old and over
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  patient whose diagnosis is prior to 2007 and later in 2009
  -  patient having shown opposition to the participation in this study
  -  patient minor or under guardianship
  -  patient not having his main home in Martinique at the time of the diagnosis

Clinical trial: BRAF V600E Mutations In Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether BRAF V600E mutation in our patients with papillary thyroid cancer has an association with poor prognosis.

Detailed description: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid malignancy and BRAF V600E mutation is the most common genetic alteration identified in PTC, ranging from 25 to 80%, with the average rate about 45%. Various studies demonstrated a relationship between BRAF V600E mutation and aggressive characteristics of the cancer, including the worse patient prognosis. But,there are no studies from Turkey regarding this topic. So the investigators will examine BRAF V600E mutation in our patients with PTC and try to assess the role of this mutation in prognosis and further management of the patients.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Patients with papillary thyroid cancer
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Patients who do not want to be a part of this study

Clinical trial: Permeability Map to Distinguish Progression From Pseudoprogression in High-Grade Glioma

Summary: The aim of the present study is to assess whether a new method of quantifying therapy-associated hemodynamic alterations based on DCE MR imaging may help to distinguish pseudoprogression from true progression in patients with high grade glioma, who received CCRT.

Detailed description: Combination temozolomide and radiation significantly prolongs survival compared with radiation alone and has become standard treatment for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Response assessment in GBM is difficult as a result of the frequent occurrence of early imaging changes indistinguishable from tumor progression, termed pseudoprogression. The majority of patients remain clinically stable. It is often unclear whether current therapy should be maintained or second-line therapy initiated. The incidence of pseudoprogression after concurrent chemoradiation is15%to 30%. A potential mechanism of pseudoprogression is that radiation-induced vascular changes may lead to focal transient increase in gadolinium enhancement. Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR imaging provides a noninvasive means for quantifying tumor vascular properties.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Among the patients with high-grade glioma (glioblastoma multiforme or anaplastic astrocytoma), who received concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) with temozolomide, the patients show the measurable enhancing portion (1 cm in the long diameter according to the RANO criteria) in the immediate f/up MRI after CCRT.
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Among the patients with high-grade glioma (glioblastoma multiforme or anaplastic astrocytoma), who received concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) with temozolomide, the patients do not show the measurable enhancing portion (1 cm in the long diameter according to the RANO criteria) in the immediate f/up MRI after CCRT.

Clinical trial: cKIT, BRAF/NRAS Mutations in Advanced Melanoma : Clinical Outcome in Response to Tyrosine-kinase Inhibitors - KitMel Project

Summary: Background: Metastatic melanoma has a devastating prognosis and is one of the top causes of cancer death in young patients. Until now, available therapies were few and unreliable, but recent understanding of melanomas' molecular pathways has improve their classification and new clinical strategies have been proposed.
  Initial studies showed that B-Raf/N-Ras mutations (respectively V600E and Q61) are the most frequent alteration being present in 70 to 80% of melanomas, characterizing non Chronic Sun-induced Damage skins (CSD). These include Superficial Spreading Melanomas (SSM) and Nodular Melanomas (NM). Other studies showed that c-Kit mutations are presently the predominant activating mutation (20 - 40 %) in Acro-Lentiginous Melanomas (ALM), Mucous Melanomas (MM) and in melanomas arising on CSD skin. c-Kit mutation pattern is more complex with four exons being affected leading to different mutations, which incidence and biological impact are less documented.
  BRAF/NRAS genetics alterations drive constantly cell growth, being thus attractive targets. Spectacular results have indeed been obtained with the BRAF inhibitor that targets the V600E BRAF-mutated form. Data from GIST disease revealed that the different c-Kit mutations modulate differently c-Kit function and the response to targeted therapies.
  Because c-Kit targeted therapy is a critical clinical issue, the investigators aimed to identify the most frequent mutations present in our population to propose appropriate screening test and adapt the therapy.
  Methods: 250 melanoma samples corresponding to an homogeneous white-Caucasian population (Brittany, France) will be screened. c-Kit exons 11, 13, 17 and 18 will be sequenced (direct sequencing and pyrosequencing when possible). c-Kit copy number will be quantified by q-PCR and level of c-Kit determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC, CD117). Samples will also be analyzed for B-Raf mutations in codon 464, 466, 469 and 600, and for N-Ras mutations in codon 12, 13 and 61 (Pyrosequencing).
  Expected Results:
  Taken together, the investigators anticipate that the present genetic analysis of the tumours from patients with advanced melanoma will first document the type and frequency of cKit mutations, will confirm or not that BRAF, NRAS and cKit mutations are mutually exclusive and document their repartition in the melanomas sub-types. Finally this study will clue researchers in to how well patients will respond to a therapy that targets the growth-promoting proteins BRAF/NRAS and cKIT.
