NCT ID NCT02478931

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

Summary

This study is collecting information from up to 10,000 cancer patients to see if choosing treatments based on the genetic makeup of their tumors leads to better outcomes. Researchers will look at medical records and may test leftover tissue or blood samples to create a genetic profile of each person's cancer. The goal is to learn whether personalized treatment improves response and reduces side effects.
