Personalized drug test for advanced cancer with fluid buildup
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special test on your cancer cells to find which chemotherapy might work best for you. The aim is to treat advanced cancer that has caused fluid buildup in the chest or abdomen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.

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.
This trial tests a personalized treatment using your own immune cells (T cells) that are specially trained to find and attack lung cancer cells. It may help people with advanced or relapsed lung cancer who have not improved with standard treatments.
This trial grows a lab model from your own tumor tissue (or resected tissue) to predict which drugs might work best. It’s meant to match investigational treatments to your specific tumor biology.
This trial uses advanced testing (genetic sequencing and lab-grown tumor models) to find the best treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to at least one standard treatment. The goal is to personalize therapy based on your tumor's unique features.
This trial tests a new way to choose the best treatment for your lung cancer by creating a model of your tumor in the lab. It may help doctors find the most effective therapy for you.
