Tumor DNA analysis aims to speed up enrollment in early cancer trials
NCT ID NCT04510766
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will analyze genetic material from stored tumor samples of 40 adults with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. The goal is to see if molecular profiling can help identify more patients for early phase clinical trials. Researchers will track how many patients with a genetic profile are enrolled per year and what types of mutations are found.
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 match more patients to early phase trials based on their tumor's genetic profile.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study that does not test a treatment. It may not lead to direct benefits for participants.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female patients age at least 18 years. 2. Patients with histological diagnosis of advanced solid tumor or lymphoma who are potential candidates for early phase clinical trials. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 or 1 4. Live expectancy of at least 6 months. 5. Availability of FFPE archival tumor tissue from previous surgery or diagnostic biopsy adequate for molecular analysis. 6. Ability to understand the patient information and study consent. Signed and dated written informed consent must be available before performing any study-related procedure. 7. Willing and able to comply with study procedures Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of any clinical (e.g. concomitant disease, clinically significant symptoms, or non-clinical (psychological or social) conditions that would not make the patient eligible for enrolment in an early phase clinical trial. 2. Any other active malignancy (other than the one for which the subject is being assessed for trial option) that is progressing or requiring active treatment with the exception of basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ of any site.
