Blood samples may unlock secrets of cancer drug resistance
NCT ID NCT05272423
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study collects blood samples from up to 500 adults in the US with KRAS G12C-positive cancer whose disease has progressed after treatment with a KRAS inhibitor. Researchers will analyze the samples to identify genetic changes that cause resistance. The goal is to compare resistance patterns between different drugs and cancer types, which may guide future treatment strategies.
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 reveal why some cancers become resistant to KRAS inhibitors, pointing toward better combination treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It collects data only, so it won't directly help participants. Results may not lead to new therapies quickly.

Inclusion Criteria: * Cohort 1A- Liquid Biopsy 1. Participants older than 18 years old at the time of consent or age of majority for residential state. 2. Demonstration of having advanced KRAS G12C positive cancer. 3. Systemic progression (not CNS only progression) within the past 30 days, having previously been treated with a therapeutic, targeting the specific KRAS mutation. 4. Patient must not have started a new line of therapy before signing the informed consent form. 5. Willingness to provide a blood specimen prior to the initiation of a new line of treatment. 6. Willingness to provide clinical and medical information to the study team as required. 7. Ability to read, write and communicate in English. 8. Ability to sign a web-based informed consent form. Cohort 1B- Data Sharing 1. Participants older than 18 years old at the time of consent or age of majority for residential state. 2. Demonstration of having advanced KRAS G12C positive cancer. 3. Systemic progression (not CNS only progression) after being treated with a therapeutic targeting the specific KRAS mutation. 4. Patient must have prior tumor genotyping available (tissue or plasma) after progression on therapeutic targeting the specific KRAS mutation. 5. Willingness to provide clinical and medical information to the study team as required. 6. Ability to read, write and communicate in English. 7. Ability of the participant or legally authorized representative (LAR) to sign a web-based informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants who are unable to comply with the study procedures. 2. Known existence of an uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, psychiatric illness or social situations that would impair compliance with study requirements. 3. Participants who have previously enrolled to the study.
