TAPUR: Testing the Use of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Approved Drugs That Target a Specific Abnormality in a Tumor Gene in People With Advanced Stage Cancer

TAPUR: Testing FDA-approved drugs for specific tumor gene abnormalities in advanced cancer.

Recruiting
12 years and older
All
Phase 2

The TAPUR study looks at using FDA-approved drugs for patients with advanced-stage cancer. These drugs target specific changes in tumor genes that might make the cancer respond to treatment. The study is non-randomized, which means everyone involved knows what treatment is given, unlike some studies where treatments are given randomly.

Participants must be at least 12 years old and have a type of cancer that cannot be helped by standard treatments. They also need to have good organ function and measurable cancer. Patients with brain tumors or certain other conditions are not eligible.

The study requires participants to have results from a special lab test showing specific changes in their cancer genes. This helps doctors decide if a targeted drug might work for them.

  • Participants need a genomic test to see if they qualify.
  • The study accepts patients with advanced cancer with specific genetic changes.
  • Patients must agree to use birth control during the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
