Tailor-Made cancer therapies tested in unique N-of-1 trial
NCT ID NCT06285500
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study offers people with advanced or rare cancers a personalized treatment plan based on their tumor's genetic profile. Each participant receives a unique therapy chosen by a team of experts. The goal is to see if these tailored treatments can shrink tumors and help more patients access precision medicine.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- patient-specific treatments based on biomarker test results
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that personalized, biomarker-driven treatments improve outcomes for people with advanced or rare cancers who have few options.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage, single-patient design with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects from experimental treatments are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria \& Exclusion Criteria: Patient's existing genomic information from tumor molecular profiling will be discussed in the hospital expert molecular tumor board rounds consisting of representatives from specialist genomic profiling and medical oncology departments to decide N of 1 treatment for the patient. The discussion will surround the best next therapeutic option in the patient's cancer subtype with or without clear standard of care guidelines. Therefore, specific eligibility criteria aside from individual patient's medical history is not applicable.
