Can Off-Label drugs help when standard cancer therapy fails? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06956248
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard treatment options. Researchers will track how well off-label or non-standard therapies work when chosen based on the tumor's genetic profile. The goal is to create a standard way to measure responses and side effects, which could help improve future cancer care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Off-label systemic therapies recommended by a molecular tumor board
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help standardize how we evaluate off-label treatments for advanced cancers, potentially guiding future drug development.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 50 participants. It does not test a new treatment directly, so results may not lead to immediate clinical changes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Is equal to or greater than 21 years of age; 2. Histologic or cytologic confirmed advanced solid tumours; 3. Patients who have received and failed all standard anticancer therapy (if available) or are unsuitable for further standard anticancer therapy. Cancers with a poor prognosis or low expected response rate to standard treatment (as judged by the investigator on the basis of available evidence) may be screened with respect to an earlier line of treatment; 4. Ability to understand and the willingness to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Specific contraindications to exposure to the off-label or non-standard therapy (as defined by the product label); 2. Other comorbid conditions that may compromise assessing key outcomes or, in the judgement of the clinician, limit the ability of the patient to comply with the protocol.
