NCT ID NCT02597738

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from 330 adults with advanced lung or head and neck cancer to improve precision medicine. Researchers will analyze genetic changes in these samples and grow some tumors in mice to compare DNA. The goal is to refine liquid biopsies and identify biomarkers for better diagnosis and treatment.
