Biomarker study to guide treatment for several advanced cancers
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study measures how strongly your immune system is being suppressed and uses that information to help personalize cancer treatment. It mainly looks at people with certain advanced cancers and needs tumor tissue and follow-up to check possible immune-related markers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one of these cancers: melanoma, hormone-resistant breast cancer, kidney cancer (RCC), bladder cancer (UC), head and neck squamous cancer (SCCHN), squamous or non-small cell lung cancer (SCC/NSCLC), or stage III resectable NSCLC
- You are 18 to 90 years old and can understand and sign the informed consent
- You can follow the study plan and come back regularly for visits at the same study center
- You can provide an existing tumor tissue sample (FFPE tissue from past biopsy/surgery) for extra testing
- Your overall health is good enough for study participation (ECOG 0–2)
- You agree to complete a short socio-economical/psychological questionnaire survey

This study looks at immune and tumor “behavior” markers in people with metastatic melanoma after standard treatment. It may help researchers understand why treatment works for some people and not others by testing blood and skin tumor samples.
This study is looking at whether a special PET scan (FDG PET/CT) and a blood test that measures ctDNA (cancer DNA in the blood) can help predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors work in people with advanced melanoma. If you are planning to get treatment with immunotherapy drugs like ipilimumab, nivolumab, or pembrolizumab, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new drug called MGC026 that targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells, aiming to shrink or slow different advanced solid tumors. It is an early-phase study to find the right dose and check safety.
This study is looking at immune markers in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be cured. It tests how well the immune system responds to treatment, and may help guide future care.
This trial looks at tissue and scan-related markers (“biomarkers”) to better understand how immunotherapy works in people with advanced melanoma. You may receive standard first-line immunotherapy, and your recent scans and health details will help researchers study why some people respond better than others.
This study uses advanced testing (molecular profiling and imaging) to better understand cancers and help guide treatment. It is for people with certain advanced cancers who have not yet had immunotherapy or targeted therapy.
