Brief Summary

COPE is a biology driven protocol with 2 independent, multicentric, two-arm non-comparative randomized (2:1) phase II trials in 2 distinct populations: colorectal cancer patients and non-small-lung cancer patients. For each phase II trial, patient will be randomized between two arms with two patients randomized in arm A for one patient randomized in arm B: * Arm A (Experimental - initial MTB providing therapeutic recommendation based on tumor sequencing and then follow-up combining standard imaging and ctDNA analysis) * Arm B (Standard - initial MTB providing therapeutic recommendation based on tumor sequencing and then follow-up based on standard imaging).
