About this trial

The goal of this project is to characterise the heterogeneity of all cell populations (tumour cells, stromal and immune microenvironment) present in the tumor and their normal (and leucoplasic) counterparts by scRNAseq in OSCC patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

I1. Male or female at least 18 years old.

I2. Patient with OSCC and undergoing surgery at the Centre Léon Bérard.

I3. Patient who has agreed to participate in this research and sign consent.

I4. Patient affiliated to a medical insurance.

Disqualifiers

NI1. Pregnant or nursing woman.

NI2. Contraindication to general anesthesia.

NI3. Suspicion of rare tumor of particular histology other than squamous cell carcinoma (Sarcoma...).

NI4. Patient under curatorial or guardianship or placed under the protection of justice.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Biospecimen

    Procedure/Surgery

    * 1 or 2 tumoral specimen (depending on the size of the tumor) * 1 specimen of the healthy oral mucosa * 1 leucoplakia specimen if applicable. The biospecimens will be collected at the time of the surgery organised for the standard routine medical care.

  • Blood sampling

    Procedure/Surgery

    Blood sampling (6 mL), taken from a routine biological exam.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Characterization of the heterogeneity of all cell populations (tumour cells, stromal and immune microenvironment) present in the tumor and their normal (and leucoplasic) counterparts by scRNAseq in OSCC patients.

Transcriptomic data from scRNAseq for all cell populations

Time frame
3 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Description of the functional interactions among tumor, stromal, and immune subpopulations identified by scRNAseq

Describe the functional interactions between tumor, stromal, and immune subpopulations using ex vivo culture models and co-culture assays. Cellular responses will be assessed using transcriptomic analysis and phenotypic characterization.

Time frame
3 years
2

Correlation between refined patient stratification (based on tumor, stromal and immune sub-population) and the impact on the response to ex-vivo treatments.

Correlation between tumor, stromal and immune sub-populations likely to refine patient stratification and the impact on the response to ex-vivo treatments.

Time frame
3 years
3

Identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers for oral squamous cell carcinoma evolution

Correlation of gene expression profiles with disease progression to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers in scRNAseq and bulk RNAseq datasets

Time frame
3 years
