Phase N/A

PREFER Study Summary: This study is collecting blood and tissue samples from people with advanced cancers like lung, breast, and prostate cancer. The goal is to identify certain mutations, which are changes in the DNA, using an OmniSeq test that helps doctors decide on the best treatments. Next-generation sequencing, a method to read DNA, is used to find these mutations.

The study focuses on helping minority and underserved groups by collecting samples that represent different ethnicities. The samples are stored in a biorepository, a special place for keeping biological materials for research. This helps scientists understand cancer better and develop new drugs.

Participants need to be at least 18 years old and will not undergo extra procedures since samples are collected during routine care. The study ensures privacy by not including personal identifiers.

  • Study Duration: No additional visits; samples collected during routine care.
  • Participation Benefits: Contributes to future cancer treatment and understanding.
  • Risks: Minimal as no extra medical procedures are involved.

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.
