Understanding how the immune environment affects chemotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer
Official title: Tumor Immune Microenvironment Involvement in Colorectal Cancer Chemoresistance Mechanisms: a Patient-derived Tumoroids Prospective Collection From Systemic Treatment Naive Tumors
Run by University Hospital, Grenoble · NCT05038358 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to understand how the immune system around colorectal cancer affects how well chemotherapy works, aiming to help patients who are about to have surgery and haven't started treatment yet.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with colorectal adenocarcinoma who are scheduled for immediate surgical resection and have not received prior chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, minors, or have certain viral infections (HIV, HBV, HCV) may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the mechanisms of chemoresistance in colorectal cancer by developing tumoroids from fresh human primary colonic tumor tissue. It focuses on the role of the immune microenvironment in influencing tumor response to chemotherapy. By analyzing these tumoroids, researchers hope to identify new predictive markers for treatment response and develop personalized medicine strategies. The study targets patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma who are scheduled for surgical resection and have not yet received chemotherapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for colorectal cancer patients, enhancing their response to chemotherapy.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in understanding tumor microenvironments and their impact on treatment responses.
