Brief summary

This is a prospective pilot study designed to demonstrate the impact of circadian rhythm on the spread of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in patients with Non- Small Cell Lung Cancer - NSCLC. 27 patients will be included in the study and will be followed for 12 months. For each included patient, blood samples will be collected before the anticancer treatment initiation.

Interventions

OTHERBlood samples will be collected at two times before the treatment initiation:

* at 4:00 a.m. * at 10:00 a.m. Patients will then be followed for data collection for a period of 12 months after inclusion or until disease progression (if applicable).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Presence of CTCs detected with the CellSearch technique.12 months after the end of inclusions

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quantification of CTCs by the CellSearch technique and expressed in number of cells / millilitre of blood.12 months after the end of inclusions
Quantification of CTCs by the ParSortix technique and expressed in number of cells / millilitre of blood.12 months after the end of inclusions
Objective response defined as complete or partial response.12 months after the end of inclusionsResponse will be assessed according to the clinician's judgment.
Progression-free survival (PFS) defined as the time between the date of inclusion and the date of first progression or death.12 months after the end of inclusions
