500 cancer patients join quest to unlock precision medicine secrets
NCT ID NCT05403177
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is collecting detailed genetic and health information from 500 people with various cancers, including breast, lung, and leukemia. The goal is to create a shared database that helps researchers develop more personalized treatments. Participants provide samples and data, but no experimental drugs are tested.
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 accelerate personalized cancer treatments by creating a rich dataset for researchers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly benefit participants and results depend on data quality and collaboration.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with histological and/or cytological confirmation of blood or solid tumor malignancies. For tumour types where pre-surgical biopsy is not routinely performed to confirm a pathologic diagnosis of cancer, patients may consent to this protocol, but eligibility must be confirmed after pathology is finalized demonstrating presence of malignancy 2. All patients must be able to satisfy the required minimum data elements for the 15k gold standard cohort through: 1. Already existing data that satisfies the minimal requirements of a gold standard case (refer to Table 1) 2. Have sufficient biospecimens (tumor and/or blood samples) available for more comprehensive molecular and immunophenotypic characterization 3. Patients who do not satisfy the required minimum data elements but would like to participate, maybe requested to donate blood and undergo a fresh biopsy if the archived Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are not available, or in cases where a fresh tumor biopsy is deemed necessary for molecular profiling. 4. Participating patients must agree to share their anonymized clinical and genomic data Exclusion Criteria: None.
