Gene-Matching trial aims to outsmart cancer by pairing mutations with drugs
NCT ID NCT02534649
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is analyzing tumor and blood samples from 10,000 adults with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers to find genetic changes that can be targeted by existing drugs. The goal is to see how often these 'actionable' alterations occur and to guide patients toward personalized treatment options. No new drugs are being tested; instead, the focus is on gathering information to improve future treatment decisions.
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 help doctors select more effective, personalized treatments for advanced cancer patients based on their tumor's genetic profile.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational profiling study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly improve outcomes, and many patients may not have a targetable alteration.
