Phase N/A

This study looks at whether a special group of doctors and scientists, called a Genomic Tumor Board (GTB), can help more cancer patients get treatments based on their genetic information. Genomic tumor tests are used to find out important details about a person's cancer by looking at their genes. In this study, some patients will have their test results reviewed by a GTB, while others will not. The GTB gives extra advice based on the test results to help doctors choose the best treatment. This study will help find out if having a GTB makes it easier for doctors to understand and use these test results effectively.

  • Study Duration: Patients are followed for up to 24 months.
  • Visits: Virtual GTB meetings occur weekly.
  • Eligibility: Patients with advanced cancer and specific genomic tests are eligible.

By participating, patients might receive treatments tailored to their genetic makeup, potentially improving outcomes. However, joining the study also means following specific guidelines and schedules. Participants must sign informed consent to be part of 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.
