NCT ID NCT07500259
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a new approach to personalize cancer treatment for people with colorectal or pancreatic cancer. Researchers will take a small sample of a patient's tumor, grow it in the lab, and test different drugs on it to see which one works best. The goal is to see if this lab test can accurately predict how the patient will respond to standard treatments, potentially leading to more effective and less toxic care.
