10,000 cancer patients to help unlock power of personalized medicine
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that tailoring cancer treatment based on a tumor's genetic profile leads to better response and fewer side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial. Results may show associations but not prove cause and effect. It may not lead to immediate changes in practice.
