Evaluating Genomic Testing in Human Cancer & Outcomes of Targeted Therapies

Description

This is a substudy (Part 2) of a larger two-part clinical trial including both observational and therapeutic (interventional) cohorts to assess the progression free survival ratio of patients treated with a targeted therapy based on genomic analysis results and recommendation by the Markey Cancer Center Molecular Tumor Board (MCC MTB).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients with clinically suspected or histologically confirmed solid or hematological malignancy who have undergone or will undergo genetic testing of their tumor
  • * Patients must have failed first-line therapy for their disease (refractory) or have no options for curative therapies.
  • * Patients must have either measurable or non-measurable disease.
  • * Age ≥18 years.
  • * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤3.
  • * Patients with brain metastasis must have had treatment of their brain metastasis completed at least 1 day prior to enrollment and be on stable dose of steroids or off steroids at the time of enrollment.
  • * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • * Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 3 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 3 weeks earlier.
  • * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with targeted therapy, in the opinion of the treating physician.
  • * Pregnant women are excluded from this study.
  • * HIV positive patients with CD4 counts below 500 OR who are not on a stable dose of antiretroviral therapy (for at least 1 month prior to registration) are ineligible.
