NCT ID NCT03089554

First seen Jun 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study is for people with advanced cancer who have run out of standard treatment options. Researchers will analyze the genetic makeup of each patient's tumor and recommend a targeted therapy based on those results. The goal is to see if this personalized approach can slow down cancer growth and improve outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

targeted therapy drugs based on tumor genetic testing

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that matching cancer treatments to a patient's unique tumor genetics helps control advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study (93 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The targeted therapies may not work for all tumor types, and side effects are possible.
