New screening could open door to T-Cell therapy for Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT05812027
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study screens up to 1,150 people with advanced solid tumors like head and neck, cervical, or lung cancer. Researchers test blood and tumor samples to see if participants have the right genetic markers for future T-cell therapy trials. The goal is to find who might benefit from these experimental treatments, but no therapy is given in this study.
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 screening could help identify patients who may benefit from future T-cell therapies for solid tumors.
- What could go wrong
- This is only a screening study, not a treatment. It does not test any therapy, so there is no direct benefit to participants.

Inclusion Criteria: * Willing and able to provide written informed consent. * Male or female aged ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent. * Have one of the following histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumor for which the Sponsor has an associated clinical study: * Head and neck cancer * Cervical cancer * Non-small cell lung cancer * HPV positive anogenital cancers * Sarcoma * Other cancers with a reasonable likelihood of expressing 1 or more antigens included in a TScan clinical trial, following approval by the TScan Medical Monitor or their delegate. * Willing to provide a buccal swab for HLA testing * Willing to provide a saliva sample to use as a normal control for the LOH assay * Have access to an adequate FFPE tumor block that is \<8 months old or is willing to provide a fresh core-needle biopsy from a location deemed safe by the treating medical team. Exclusion Criteria: • Participants undergoing anticancer therapy with curative intent such as tumor surgical resection with or without neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, or definitive chemoradiation, unless they have locoregionally advanced disease and are expected to have a high risk of relapse after their curative intent therapy as determined by the treating investigator.
