Study population: Participants will be identified internally through provider referrals most commonly from providers in Medical Oncology.

Who may be able to join

Who cannot join

  • Uncontrolled concurrent illness including psychiatric illness, or situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements or the ability to willingly give written informed consent
  • Inaccessible tumor for biopsy or patient does not have tumor tissue available for research use
  • Biopsy must not be considered to be more than minimal risk to the patient. Contraindications to percutaneous biopsy:
  • Significant coagulopathy that cannot be adequately corrected
  • Severely compromised cardiopulmonary function or hemodynamic instability
  • Lack of a safe pathway to the lesion

About this study

Official title: Integrated Genomics and Patient-Derived Cancer Models

This study characterizes deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteomic (protein) changes in both biopsies and tumors removed during surgery of patients who have been diagnosed with aggressive/metastatic (that has spread to other places in the body) cancer in order to identify possible diagnostic markers and potential drugs for treating aggressive tumor types. Proteomic analyses include looking at the proteome, or all the proteins expressed, or made by DNA at a specific moment in time. Studying samples of blood, buccal (cheek), and tissue in the laboratory from patients undergoing surgical resection or biopsy may help doctors learn more about the changes that occur in the proteome, DNA alterations, and identify molecular biomarkers for which therapeutic drugs may exist. Studying the DNA in tumor tissue and in blood may also help researchers see if the tumor has important differences.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To understand the pathogenesis, molecular mechanisms, and disease processes of malignancies.

II. To examine the utility of integrated genomics for discovery of targets or pathways involved in tumor/malignancy progression of patients with malignancies.

III. To observe for any evidence of anti-tumor activity from treatment if selected based on integrated genomics.

IV. To create and offer opportunities for targeted individualized therapy based on the outcome of integrated genomics and micro-cancer modeling.

  1. To determine the outcome of patients with malignancies who received targeted individualized therapy.

OUTLINE: This is an ancillary-correlative study.

Patients undergo collection of blood and buccal samples before or after standard of care (SOC) biopsy or tumor resection. Patients undergo collection of tumor tissue at time of SOC biopsy or tumor resection. Patients' medical records are also reviewed. Patients' archived tissue or blood samples may also be collected.

Being tested
Biopsy Specimen, Biospecimen Collection, Archived Biospecimen Collection, Medical Chart Review

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid System Neoplasm and Metastatic Malignant Solid Neoplasm, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) alterations (time frame: Through study completion; up to five years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jun 2026.
