An Ancillary Pilot Trial Using Whole Genome Sequencing In Patients With Advance Refractory Cancer
Completed
Conditions studied: Advanced Cancer
In brief
When a patient with advanced cancer consults with a member of the Phase I drug development team, the investigators utilize all information possible to try to select a therapy for that patient which has the best chance of working for them. This information includes: 1. Past published information 2. Clinical experience and judgement 3. Immunohistochemistry for specific targets (e.g., ER) 4. Standard sequencing (e.g., for K-Ras) and other methods now available. The investigators have a new tool which warrants early exploration for what role it might eventually play in the process of selecting the best therapy for an individual patient. The basis of the current ancillary exploratory study is to gain initial experience with the operational aspects of this whole genome sequencing in this setting.
