Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with an advanced or locally advanced solid tumor (cancer that has spread or cannot be fully removed by surgery)
- You are about to start a standard therapy for your cancer type and stage, as listed in the trial
- You are able to give informed consent and follow the study schedule
- You have not had another cancer in the last 3 years, except for certain skin cancers or early cervical cancer

This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tumor DNA in patients with advanced cancer. It aims to see if this test can help doctors monitor the cancer and make better treatment decisions.
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
This study checks whether a blood test can find tumor genetic changes (called “plasma genomic profiling”) to help choose the best next treatment. It may help your care team decide therapy after your cancer progresses or seems likely to progress soon.
This study looks for cancer-related cells and DNA in samples like blood, urine, and (for some) bone marrow. The goal is to see whether these tests can help detect or track solid cancers with minimal added procedures.
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after you finish treatment. It may help doctors know if cancer is still there and guide next steps.
This trial studies advanced solid tumors by using stored tumor samples to look for molecular clues. The goal is to help doctors better choose cancer treatments that may work for your specific tumor.
