Texas biorepository aims to unlock Cancer's secrets
NCT ID NCT05371756
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is building a large collection of blood, tissue, urine, and stool samples from 10,000 cancer patients across Texas. Researchers will match these samples with detailed medical records to study why some patients respond to cancer treatments while others do not. The goal is to create a resource that helps develop better diagnostics and therapies in the future.
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 biorepository could help researchers develop better diagnostic tests and treatments for cancer by understanding why some patients respond to therapy and others do not.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study that collects samples for future research, not a treatment trial. It does not directly test any new therapy, so benefits for participants are indirect and may take years to materialize.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participant is over 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form. * Participant is able and willing to sign an informed consent form. * Participant is suspected by a provider of being at risk for developing cancer, OR * Participant has confirmed or clinically suspected malignancy by a provider. This includes but is not limited to: 1. Participants who may be candidates for or are scheduled to receive standard of care immunotherapy treatment for the first time for their current cancer diagnosis, regardless of any prior non-immunotherapy treatment. 2. Participants who are enrolled in a clinical trial to receive an investigational, novel immunotherapy drug for the first time for their current cancer diagnosis. 3. Participants who may be surgical candidates for their current cancer diagnosis, regardless of any prior treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Participant is unable or unwilling to donate blood. * Concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease that may compromise the ability to give documented informed consent, is likely to interfere with study procedures or results, or that in the opinion of the investigator would constitute a hazard for participating in this study.
