NCT ID NCT06207032
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study enrolls 500 adults with cancer to collect blood and tissue samples over time. Researchers will analyze ctDNA (bits of tumor DNA in the blood) to see how it changes with standard treatment. The goal is to find biomarkers that could predict outcomes and guide future cancer care.
