Brief Summary:

Progastrin is a pro-hormone that, in physiological conditions, is maturated in gastrin in G cells of the stomach. The role of the gastrin is to stimulate the secretion of gastric acids during digestion. It is also important for the regulation of cell growth of the gastric mucosal.

In a healthy person, progastrin is not detectable in the peripheral blood. However, progastrin is abnormally released in the blood of patients with different cancers (colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast, cervix uterus, melanoma…) The gene GAST coding for progastrin is a direct target gene of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway. The activation of this oncogenic pathway is an early event in cancer development.

Chronic activation of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway occurs in almost all human solid tumors and is a central mechanism in cancer biology that induces cellular proliferation, blocking of differentiation leading to primary tumor growth and metastasis formation.

Progastrin measured in the peripheral blood of patients on treatments, could be a new powerful marker for diagnosis and prognosis at different stages.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Cancer patients
ONCOPRO will enroll 410 patients affected by different types of cancer and treated in a curative or a palliative intent. In total 16 cohorts will be open, including: breast cancer, gastric carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, melanoma, lung carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, head and neck carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, glioblastoma, endometrial adenocarcinoma, bladder carcinoma, oesophago-gastric carcinoma and B-cell lymphoma. Patients enrolled in curative intent treatment cohorts will never have been previously treated for their cancer. Patients enrolled in non-curative intent treatment cohorts will have never been treated for their metastatic cancers previously, or have developed advanced/metastatic diseases as relapses of localized cancers previously treated with curative intent therapeutic strategies.
 Other: Blood draws
Blood draws are realized at each steps of patient disease management. The volume of each blood drawn is 20 mL for progastrin measurements and additional 5 mL for the dosage of the other tumor markers (PSA, CA19-9, CA125…). The frequency of blood drawn is maximum every 3 weeks (i.e. in case of chemotherapy treatment) and minimum every 6 months (for patients in follow up)


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. ROC curve AUC regarding diagnostic accuracy of progastrin levels at baseline in cancer patients compared to non-cancer controls [ Time Frame: At baseline ]
    Progastrin concentration in plasma samples will be measured with an ELISA Kit (CancerREAD LAB) provided by ECS Progastrin.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Longitudinal kinetic of progastrin values during treatments, assessed by modeled kinetic parameters of interest [ Time Frame: 6 years ]

    A nonlinear mixed effect model will be used to model the progastrin measurements done during treatments and follow-up of patients.The effect of each event (chemotherapy, surgery…) on the progastrin value and in the inter-individual variability of production and/or elimination rates of progastrin will be analyzed. Progastrin will be measured by ELISA, and the values will be expressed in pM.

    Measures will be done depending on the treatment received. Chemotherapy, every 3 or 4 weeks. Oral treatments: every 3 to 12 weeks. Surgery or radiotherapy: before and after the treatment. Follow up: concomitantly to the visits scheduled for the regular follow up of the patients.


  2. Nycthemeral and weekly progastrin variations [ Time Frame: every 3 hours within 24 hours for the Nycthemeral cohort, and every week for 2 or 3 weeks for the weekly cohort ]
    24 patients will be selected, upon their agreement and serum high levels, to enter in nychtemer (12 patients) or weekly (12 patients) cohorts. For the Nychtemer cohort, progastrin will be assayed at d1 at 8:00 am; 11:00 am; 2:00 pm; 5:00 pm; 8:00 pm and at d2 at 8:00 For the weekly cohort, progastrin will be assayed Day 1; Day 8; Day 15 and +/- Day 22; ideally on the same hour times. Progastrin will be measured by ELISA, and the values will be expressed in pM.

  3. Determinants of progastrin serum values: hepatic function [ Time Frame: 6 years ]

    A nonlinear mixed effect model will be used to correlate individual values of progastrin (expressed in pM) with individual characteristic on the patient (hepatic function, as measured by the concentration of AST, ALT and bilirubin).

    Measures will be done Chemotherapy, every 3 or 4 weeks. Oral treatments: every 3 to 12 weeks. Surgery or radiotherapy: before and after the treatment. Follow up: concomitantly to the visits scheduled for the regular follow up of the patients


  4. Determinants of progastrin serum values: renal function [ Time Frame: 6 years ]

    A nonlinear mixed effect model will be used to correlate individual values of progastrin (expressed in pM) with individual characteristic on the patient (renal function, as measured by creatinin concentration and creatinin clearance).

    Measures will be done Chemotherapy, every 3 or 4 weeks. Oral treatments: every 3 to 12 weeks. Surgery or radiotherapy: before and after the treatment. Follow up: concomitantly to the visits scheduled for the regular follow up of the patients


  5. Determinants of progastrin serum values: age [ Time Frame: at the inclusion ]
    A nonlinear mixed effect model will be used to correlate the individual characteristics of the patient (age and gender) with progastrin concentration at the inclusion.

  6. Determinants of progastrin serum values: gender [ Time Frame: at the inclusion ]
    A nonlinear mixed effect model will be used to correlate genders with progastrin concentrations at the inclusion.

  7. Overall survival [ Time Frame: 6 years ]

    The relationships between the progastrin kinetics during and after treatment and overall survival will be analyzed. Analyses will be performed separately on patients with curative intent treatment and on patients with palliative intent treatment.

    Measures wil be done At the end of the study (6 years for patients enrolled in curative intent and 5 years for patients enrolled in non-curative intent) or alternatively at the occurrence of progression or relapse.


  8. recurrence free survival [ Time Frame: 6 years ]

    The relationships between the progastrin kinetics during and after treatment and recurrence free survival will be analyzed. Analyses will be performed separately on patients with curative intent treatment and on patients with palliative intent treatment.

    Measures wil be done At the end of the study (6 years for patients enrolled in curative intent and 5 years for patients enrolled in non-curative intent) or alternatively at the occurrence of progression or relapse.


  9. progression free survival [ Time Frame: 6 years ]

    The relationships between the progastrin kinetics during and after treatment and progression free survival will be analyzed. Analyses will be performed separately on patients with curative intent treatment and on patients with palliative intent treatment.

    Measures wil be done At the end of the study (6 years for patients enrolled in curative intent and 5 years for patients enrolled in non-curative intent) or alternatively at the occurrence of progression or relapse.


  10. The tumor size at cancer diagnosis [ Time Frame: At baseline ]
    The size of the tumor will be correlated to progastrin concentration at the time of cancer diagnosis

  11. Complete surgery [ Time Frame: 6 years ]
    The ability of progastrin kinetics during the neoadjuvant period to predict the outcome of the surgery (complete or not) will be analyzed by a ROC curve. If applicable.

  12. time to recurrence (for patients enrolled in curative intent cohorts). [ Time Frame: 6 years ]
    The ability of the progastrin kinetics to predict recurrence free survival (curative cohorts), will be based on parameters estimated with a PK/PD model able to characterize the early kinetics of progastrin during and after the end of treatment and during follow up.

  13. time to progression (for patients enrolled in non-curative intent cohorts) [ Time Frame: 6 years ]
    The ability of the progastrin kinetics to predict progression-free survival (non-curative cohorts) will be based on parameters estimated with a PK/PD model able to characterize the early kinetics of progastrin during and after the end of treatment and during follow up

  14. time to death (whenever it occurred) [ Time Frame: 6 years ]
    The ability of the progastrin kinetics to predict time to death will be based on parameters estimated with a PK/PD model able to characterize the early kinetics of progastrin during and after the end of treatment and during follow up

  15. Comparison of the initial values and of the kinetics of other serum tumor markers (CA15-3, CA 19-9, CA125, CEA, PSA, AFP) with those of progastrin [ Time Frame: at the baseline ]

    The ROC AUC will be compared between classical markers and the prograstrin. Logistic regression will be used to combine the classical marker(s) and the progastrin in order to estimate the diagnostic value of the marker combination.

    progastrin, CA15-3, CA19-9, CA125, CEA, PSA and AFP concentration will be measured on blood sample taken at the inclusion.
